Album: The Known Universe

Shoe Money

This hole it has a bottom
Of that I have no doubt
If I could only smarten up
And figure my way out
But what would I do then?
Probably find I hate it there
And want to crawl back in
Well I swear upon my mother
And I believe with all my heart
That I could rule the world
If I could get my car to start
But what would I do then?
With the tires around the flower beds
We¡¯ll have to ride the rims
That would be funny
We¡¯ll take everything we have
The shoe money
And the birds
Will gather around our heads
And they¡¯ll peck at our corn-like teeth
The wall around the graveyard
Says that SATIN LIVES IN HELL
Though they may love the devil
His disciples sure can¡¯t spell
So what do I do then?
I guess I¡¯ll put the A in there
And show ¡®em how to sin
That would be funny
We¡¯ll take everything we have
The shoe money
And the birds
Will gather around our heads
And they¡¯ll peck at our corn-like teeth
