lyrics

Over the Rails

Stunned all around
Stoned to the ground
I know I’m not the prettiest one,
But it’s time to go down

Covered in sound
Cher and Dionne
I know I’m not the prettiest one,
But it’s time to move on
So how ‘bout we just figure this out
‘Cause we’re doing it wrong

I know that normally
I try to keep you honest
And maybe this time
I’m the one who should get on it
Sometimes I think this is
A battle with no winner,
Only a momentary weakness
With no sinner
Another toke, a stare,
And here I go and do it again

Over the rails
Hot on our tails
I know I’m not the prettiest one
But I don’t always fail
I haven’t felt a feeling this strong
Since before I could tell

I know that normally
I try to keep you honest
And maybe this time
I’m the one who should get on it
Sometimes I think this is
A battle with no winner
Only a momentary weakness
With no sinner
Another toke, a stare,
And here I go and do it again
