Long Winters The Scared Straight Lyrics

Scared Straight Lyrics

Washington’s on the one

I’m in the middle of speaking

And you’re under the gun

Seething, leave it to the lone nut

It’s unappealing in someone so young

Plaintive, you’re feeling so washed up

And you mean it when you say you’re done

Five lanes of freeway

But it’s all gone dark

You called to say you’re gonna run

Well,  Can you wait?

Can you stand it?

Are you brave or are you scared straight?

She didn’t want you to:

Speak right, be strong, act nice, take so long

Call time, seem tired, leave mad, get so wired

Maybe you belong to someone

Maybe you have finally met them

Maybe smoke belongs in the sky

Maybe I hate it when you cry

You were hurt so you got hard

You were cursed and scolded and scared

You were searched for, then ignored

You want to burn the liars?

You’ll set us both on fire

You’re faking, so I’m pretend sleeping

Waiting for this to be fun

It’s true little miss mean mini-bar guard

We’re gonna have to try something new

Let me breath fire down on you
