The Scourge Of The Sea - Hookers lyrics

Your licorice and alcohol went down easily It kept me from believing in anything I see It sugared up my tongue and filmed over my eyes False and smooth as bu*ter set out for the flies My lovers, they are hookers dressed up as believers And I could not be more indifferent to either You took a pill for bedtime, you took a pill for school You took my favorite socks, and you took me for a fool I'm waiting here, and parked beside the road With pockets full of letters and everything I showed Fences, fences, I'll take my chances, I paired us off and parried us This thing is bigger than the sky, twice what I can see in size My lovers, they are hookers selling off their fingers Telling me I linger, tying off my hands Dressed as the fever, dressed up as the flu Leaving me in pitch black, loving me when I'm blue
