lyrics

On the bottom of my shoe
I found some gum that looked like Jesus
or maybe it was Charlie Manson
it was hard to tell

I spent half my morning
remembering our night in Marfa
When the stars touched the empty desert
and swallowed us both

And you looked like a goddamn angel
in your vintage t shirt
And I looked like I could work out
but you didn’t mind

And all of the trumpets in heaven
made noise when I kissed you
You tasted like roses and cheap beer
and Turkish Delights



And I felt like a hero
and I felt like your man

On the bottom of my shoe
I found some gum that looked like Jesus
Or maybe it was Russell Brand
it was hard to tell

Lately I’ve been wondering
how much you wondering about me
about whether or not I am wondering
about you as well

And baby I ain’t really built
to be some kind of rockstar
Maybe I should be a monk
and shave off my hair

And I’ll spend the rest of my days
trying to forget when I kissed you
How you tasted like roses and cheap beer
and Turkish Delights

And I felt like a hero
and I felt like your man

I think, all things considered, the songs I write are much more listenable than the songs I don't write.
