Lowest Of The Low City Full Of Cowards Lyrics

City Full Of Cowards Lyrics

I used to have a friend 

Who skipped a maximum-security prison 

And he used to call her Jasmine 

He doesn't call anymore 



He spends six out of seven days drunk and passed out on the floor 

And Jasmine got burned by her friends 

Who said that she should go running after him 

But she'll never make that mistake again 

Or so she says tonight 

But she kisses his picture and turns out the light 



A city full of cowards is this 

We'd give 'em just enough rope to commit 

But there's been too much wine under the bridge 

And my eyes have become immune 

To everything I take from you 



You wander around on a crutch 

Why don't you just lay it down and shut up 

With thoughts as pure as the driven slush 

And a cool insanity 

From everything you take from me 



Get the pigs into the pen 

It's a pad-lock slapping sound 

Put a shotgun to its head 

And hit the ground 

Separate the meat from bone 

Take some care 

'Cause blood is everywhere 



Waiting... salivating 

Speaking... sink the teeth in 

Sleeping... I'm too deep in 

Digging... your way out of here 



One more beer and I'll go home 

I'm hung-over with philosophies of every woman that I've known 

And "sex isn't sex", and "love isn't stone" 

And I wish that I could relax 

But another day has fallen through the cracks
