Sweet & Low

If I don’t get it now I’d better get it soon
No turning back what do I do?
Please let me go you’re hurting my neck

A dirty empty room a broken bottle’s song
The last cigarette carries you along
Baseball bat all the bases are stacked

His world is turning blue in a parking lot downtown
I found a king without a crown

Who swings low swing low
As hard as you can
I’ll stay goddamned the way I am
Sweet & low sweet & low
With your foot in my hand
Too broke too beg to proud to shout

I you don’t leave it soon you’d better get out now
No hammers left to pull you out
Please let me go you’re hurting my wrist

A lonely liver’s sound follows you around
The tick-tock of sand slivers of your hand
Please let me know you’re blowing your exam

This grave is spinning round in a marketplace uptown
Top downed and can’t be found

Swing low swing low
As hard as you can
I’ll stay goddamned the way I am
Sweet and low sweet and low
With your foot in my mouth
Too broke to beg too proud to shout

Changeling got all charged out
Timberlined washed over and out
Change form channel your rage
Set fire to the sails
the crew cannot be saved

Your knees are turning green bursting apart at the seams now
We all drown in a world that’s upside down

So swing low swing low
As hard as you can and I’ll stay goddamned the way I am
Sweet & low sweet & low
With your foot in my mouth
Too broke to beg too proud to shout
Swing low swing low
