I tell tales tall as cliffs   You've got a lisp   Kid, those things are hard to miss      Like my cripple cough   All your weekends lost by the lake   Well you said I needn't be afraid   Of all those devils on the wall   That make a fella small   When he's feelin' brave   They take his wine away   There were posters on the wall   I swear my mother saw   And I've been up all night   Up all night      And you came well equipped   With a gun on your hip   And some poison on your lips   But when we wake up in our make-up   We'll be clean   And we won't have nowhere to be      Oh, but I can't talk to you   The way I've wanted to   I've been tellin' lies   But I'll tell you the truth      No I can't talk to you   The way I've wanted to   I've been tellin' lies   But I'll tell you the truth      Darlin', I'm tired   And I should be leavin', leavin'   You know I'm tired   And I should be leavin'   Leavin' tonight      Darlin', I'm tired   And I should be leavin', leavin'   You know I'm tired   And I should be leavin'      And you'll hang like the rest   We'll leave a noose on   The attorney's desk   Take to the streets   Chant like an army   And doctor up this disease
