Lyrics for “Three Day Beard”
I.
Standing in a soup line
Sucking on a tail pipe
Working on a new crime;
Against myself,
How many times
Can I kill myself?
Before I die?
God knows I tried
To find out
II.
I wandered where the women went
Thought my soul could be at ease
I never lost my good intent
But found myself wishing
I’d never had it at all
Never had it at all
Is that what you’d call
A fall from
Grace?
III.
Listen here man and wo-man alike
I won’t tell you about all the cigarettes
And the booze, and the other scenarios
I won’t tell you about all the hard feelings
And the petty larcenies
I won’t tell you about all the
Broken bones and homes
Rendered in brutal beatings
And I won’t even tell you about the sadness;
The heavy, “wish we weren’t here” melancholy
But I will tell you this:
There are people who walk this earth
Who are so beautiful, on the inside,
They make angels blush
And you…
Ain’t one of them
IV.
Allow me some time
To be angry
I’ll shout, not speak my mind
I’m hungry;
Don’t wanna eat
V.
Forgive my trespass
I’m not sorry
Thought maybe you had grown,
Just a little,
I was wrong
But don’t worry
You will
You will
Just not with me
VI.
If you wipe the slate clean,
Just kick back and dream:
Never learn a thing
About what you see
VII.
My license to be blind
Has been revoked
Just in time
And now I see the work
Cut out for me
