Gut Shot

by Old Joy

/

about

hopefully get you in that summer mood for cruisin around the city. released on the day the titanic sank in 1912, the characters lives in the song take on the quality of a sinking ship.

lyrics

he got shot in the gut but didn't see the gunner
he made love to her but he didn't really love her
went to tell his lies and lines, surprised they sounded like truth to him this time

she went down on her knees, pleas never were delivered
he got fucked his love stuck somewhere in his liver
dyin' from the holes in him, she'd never seen so much light, and wont again

but he was waiting on a paycheck, they hadn't paid their rent yet, that never mattered to him
cuz he was clinglin to a rainbow, kicking through the undertow, sitting at an unchanging light, tappin the wheel
saying this time ive got it all right, its really real
i'm makin every hail mary in the book and i'm cookin, look at whos lookin at me,
every shot clock gut shot wannabe baron,
nobody's caring is free

he went down on his hands man every bit the sinner
puked up hearts false starts and mostly all his dinner
god just give me this or that he tried to beg of a faith he didn't have

she stayed close was the most hed ever have to love him
she gave good as he would which turned out to be nothing
she still loved the holes in him, they were the only parts still let light in
