Backhand Lyrics by Fools And Lovers

I’ve Been Here Before

2018

I was born in a hospital
That no longer stands
In a town that used to know me
Like the back of its hand
Between the wide throat sky
And the hot desert sand
To the brain of a woman and the heart of a man

I've been walking through your valley and i wear my bullets well
I learned to shimmy to the echo of the tolling bell
Never thought that i would be caught dead again inside this place
Watch your head ‘cause i'm feeling taller than usual today

You wanna dance with me at the end of the plank?
Don't blame me if you lose your place
Don't dance with me ‘cause i can see your knees shake
Can i help it if i'm the friend your mama told you not to make

I was born in a hospital
Just outside the promised land
I was raised by a woman and the back of a hand
I hold it in like a bad joke
Between the fire and frying pan
And i run for as far and as long as i can

You wanna dance with me at the end of the plank?
Don't blame me if you lose your place
Don't dance with me ‘cause i can see your knees shake
Can i help it if i'm the friend your mama told you not to make
