The Old Smugglers
Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
Scratching down Gunnel to turn up Cleat Waking up the alley cats A one-seven-five steel cab take its toll Hoisted by the best intent Washed up and broken like a shipwrecked boom, weather-beaten hide to boot Rum soaked bones, sand etched throat Holding on to everything the wake upon your back and then you're Falling down from the crow's nest You lost your look of life and that's a shame There are times that you should know best Glassing the depths of yesterday... and you piss it down the drain You gotta chimney up the side of the Bowling Hall Just to catch a glimpse of the sun The water tower dribbles like "Old Man" Wiggers And you'll never get to sleep from the bugs It's like a slow madness filling up the cracks in the planks of a musty row boat Peeling off the paint of a bad idea That will wash itself down the gutter soon enough and there it leaves you Falling down from the crow's nest You lost your look of life and that's a shame There are times that you should know best Glassing the depths of yesterday... and you piss it down the drain Digging out the fog at the Last Ditch Pond Carving every notion clean Wade through the mire with a freshening gust Run ashore to snap the keel You gotta pull back the curtain, kick over the chair, knock a little sense in the room Ring a couple bells, crashing through the swells The long nines will keep you singing all the way down you're reeling Falling down from the crow's nest You lost your look of life and that's a shame There are times that you should know best Glassing the depths of yesterday... and you piss it down the drain
