Like Cursing Kids
I saw your freckles on the shoulders Of a stranger today
And my heart leapt, my heart leapt I saw the sickle of your dimple Slice the side of her face And my heart leapt, my heart leapt But then she faced me while we wrestled For our place on the train
Kabuki makeup, a labret ring I kept out of her way
You're not that actress playing dress-up on the subway today
So my heart keeps leapin' on
I tried to catch you in a couplet On my 4-track today
But my tongue tied, my tongue tied
I couldn't figure how to fit you On the spin and the tape
See, my tongue tied, my tongue tied The words are small and insignificant,
Confused and cliche
I saw my promise and potential Through my guilt and my shame
Letras de cancionesI couldn't catch that in a couplet On my best goddamn day My tied tongue tumbles on
Shake and shiver And laugh like cursing kids And all our fitful failures Fit everytime we kiss
So cross your fingers, place your bets And hold that glow in your face
Let my big mouth ramble on
Shake and shiver And laugh like cursing kids And all our fitful failures Fit everytime we kiss
So cross your fingers, place your bets And hold that girl in your face
Let my big mouth ramble on
