From the Skyline of a Great Big Town Songtext
von Marah

I thought it was a new day
I turned my sins against themselves
We were sleeping in the sheets, babe
I woke up in the air above my couch
I guess I lost my redheaded blues
Swapped them for a thousand pair of shoes
And the reflection in the barring eye
That screams for all the luck I′ll never lose


I'm tying on a beery drunk
You′re leaving me the fire in your eyes
To be a ship that's already sunk
And never really stood the test of time
My lines been flanked, it seems I've flunked
I′ve tangled with the captain, walked the plank
And I sunk

I′m from a river home
I'm from a tower made of bones
I′m from the skyline of a great big town
Life in time will count your friends
I've seen ′em fall to slow sad ends
So I'm thinkin′ all the words you've thunk
And I'm tyin′ on a beery drunk
