LOW

[thriftyrock]

Low

This is not a love song
there is no real sentiment
this is like a one-way out of town

with nothing to take with me
but strings strapped to my back
i swear it just gets easier to drink

when the rain comes down
in groups of two or three
i wait along the fountain to find peace

so ill lay low
until the raining stops
sing songs
while temperature drops
so low oh, so low oh oh.
i drink the whiskey that sends fire down my throat.

No this is not a love song
It..s a hoax, a scam, a fraud
its something to hold onto while i sleep

a singing shroud of silence
a temporary lease
a 15 minute friendship is what i seek

and when the rain comes down
it will not stop my shreiks
i sing along the fountain to be seen

but now ill lay low
until the raining stops
sing songs
while temperature drops
so low oh, so low oh oh.
i drink the whiskey that sends fire down my throat.

ive lost all the feeling in my hands
i dont expect you to understand
my fingers float effortless in rest
to this strap accross my chest

This is not a love song
a poem or a speech
this is just a voice on a machine

ive left messages to me
to remember what i felt
the shivers in my bones will never melt

and when the rain came down
i opened my eyes wide
and saw a lowly man drenched with blame
