[00:36.28]So tired trying to see from behind the red in my eyes,
[00:41.78]No better version of me I could pretend to be tonight.
[00:47.33]So deep in this swill with the most familiar of swine
[00:52.30]For reasons wretched and divine.
[00:57.23]She blows outta nowhere, roman candle of the wild
[01:02.73]Laughing away through my feeble disguise
[01:08.20]No other version of me I would rather be tonight.
[01:13.26]And, Lord, she found me just in time
[01:16.90]'Cause with my mid-youth crisis all said and done
[01:22.01]I need to be youthfully felt 'cause, God, I never felt young
[01:28.86]She's gonna save me,
[01:30.77]Call me "baby"
[01:32.17]Run her hands through my hair
[01:34.40]She'll know me crazy,
[01:36.14]Soothe me daily
[01:37.34]Better yet she wouldn't care
[01:40.05]We'll steal her Lexus,
[01:41.70]Be detectives,
[01:42.90]Ride 'round picking up clues
[01:45.43]We'll name our children
[01:47.23]Jackie and Wilson,
[01:48.84]Raise 'em on rhythm and blues.
[01:51.69]Lord, it'd be great to find a place we could escape sometime
[01:56.54]Me and my Isis growing black irises in the sunshine
[02:02.08]Every version of me dead and buried in the yard outside.
[02:07.08]Sit back and watch the world go by.
[02:11.02]Happy to lie back watch it burn and rust
[02:16.83]We tried the world, good God, it wasn't for us.
[02:22.83]She's gonna save me,
[02:24.76]Call me "baby"
[02:25.81]Run her hands through my hair
[02:28.22]She'll know me crazy,
[02:29.85]Soothe me daily
[02:31.20]Better yet she wouldn't care
[02:33.70]We'll steal her Lexus,
[02:35.50]Be detectives,
[02:36.70]Ride 'round picking up clues
[02:39.22]We'll name our children
[02:40.92]Jackie and Wilson,
[02:42.22]Raise 'em on rhythm and blues.
[03:06.37]Cut clean from the dream at night let my mind reset
[03:11.67]Looking up from a cigarette, and she's already left
[03:17.19]I start digging up the yard for what's left of me and our little vignette
[03:22.32]For whatever poor soul is coming next
[03:26.80]She's gonna save me,
[03:28.56]Call me "baby"
[03:30.21]Run her hands through my hair
[03:32.16]She'll know me crazy,
[03:33.92]Soothe me daily
[03:35.22]Better yet she wouldn't care
[03:37.80]We'll steal her Lexus,
[03:39.45]Be detectives,
[03:40.80]Ride 'round picking up clues
[03:43.25]We'll name our children
[03:44.90]Jackie and Wilson,
[03:46.20]Raise 'em on rhythm and blues.
