Acid Tongue Lyrics

Acid Tongue lyrics

I went to a copper

to fix a hole in my shoe

he took one look at my
face and said

"I can fix that hole in you."

I beg your pardon, I'm
not looking for a cure

I've seen enough from my friends 

in the
depths of the Godsick blues



You know I am a liar

You know I
am a liar

Nobody helps a liar



'Cause I've been down to
Dixie

and dropped acid on my tongue

dripped upon the land til
enough was enough

I was a little bit lighter and

adventure on my
sleeve

I was a little drunk and looking for company

So I found
myself a sweetheart

with the softest of hands

we were unlucky in
love but I'd do it all again



we built ourselves a fire

we
built ourselves a fire

you know I am a liar

you know I am a
liar



and you don't know what I've done



and by the
rollin' river

is exactly where I was

there was no snake or cure for
unlucky in love

to be lonely is a habit

like smoking or taking
drugs

and I've quit them both 

but man, was it rough



and now I am tired

it just made me tired

let's build ourselves a
fire

let's build ourselves a fire
