Mind your pints and quarts she’d say
She gave me several warnings
I was Counting on her, but she was counting bad pennies
just don’t count on her in the morning
Play me the first song that you ever learned
On the guitar you stole from your old man
I’ll dance naked for you if you sing me a verse
And awake the child within
Moonlight defiant could never save her
from drowning in the swell
Of nappy locks and at least 4 bad decisions
And that salty Folly water swell
Mind your pints and quarts she’d say
She gave me several warnings
I was Counting on her, but she was counting bad pennies
just don’t count on her in the morning
Lost loves are distant echoes
In the substrates of our mind
A lesson learned, A stone unturned
A birthday card on time… every time
I was so lucky to have loved you
Even luckier you once loved me
I know you know you loved me first
But I’m still just another one of your bad pennies
Mind your pints and quarts she’d say
She gave me several warnings
I was Counting on her, but she was counting bad pennies
just don’t count on her in the morning
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo Echo Echo Echo
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo Echo Echo Echo
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo Echo Echo Echo
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo Echo Echo Echo
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo Echo Echo Echo
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo Echo Echo Echo
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo Echo Echo Echo
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo Echo Echo Echo
Bridge
I was Transcribing transcriptions frenetic and prose
Prose like a river while working a hot room
A Room full of women and a band of four underpaid men
Men Frankly Speaking in tongues to the moon
A moon sign a mystery a star sign a curse
cursing the death of the summer deep into the fall
Falling on deaf ears is the sounding of the pounding
The pounding of my neighbors against a bathroom wall
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo against a bathroom wall
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo against a bathroom wall
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo against a bathroom wall
Echo echo Echo echo Echo echo Echo against a bathroom wall
Mind your pints and quarts she’d say
She gave me several warnings
I was Counting on her, but she was counting bad pennies
just don’t count on her in the morning
