Ways & Means Songtext
von Mike Doughty

The best I ever did with my life
Said just three honest words to you
Three droplets in a pail of lies
Three gems among the alibis

Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are

The best I ever did with my love
Said your name on the microphone
You heard it at the restaurant
Cashed out and brought your tips on home

Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are
Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are

Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I are


Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I are

The best I ever did with my bucks
Put two down on your horse to show
She lost but just kept racing? round
Kept running? til the sun went down

Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are
Yes, I know the ways and means I are, Ma
I know the ways and means I are

Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I are

Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I are

Yes, I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I
I know the ways and means I are
