Chesnutt Vic Square Room Lyrics

Square Room Lyrics

(Vic Chesnutt)
sitting in a square room
my voice is freezing
and the
beams that are bouncing off the moon
are hanging from my window like
icicles
just a tired old alcoholic, waxing bucolic
shivering and
homesick
staring at a wooden floor
staring at a wooden floor
last
night I nearly killed myself
chasing rum with rum
there were crows flying
all around my head
and I sure caught and ate me some
it's funny how I
alienated
those who I was trying just so
so hard to impress
now half
those fuckers hate me
and I'm just a fool to all the rest
why do I insist
on drinking myself to the grave
why do I dream about cozy coffin
I had all
these plans of great things to accomplish
but I end up purely pathetic more
than often
