Mud Flats Lyrics by Henry Jaramillo

Cattails

2023

[Verse 1]
When you locked the gun up inside the case
Did you watch the dogs outside begin to ache
Or were you watching the clock
Waiting for eight?
[Verse 2]
So you could turn on your TV and stay up late?
Did the room melt?
Did you take the bait?
Did you call Tina or Carolyn tonight?
For God's sake
[Verse 3]
When you light a candle, you cast a shadow
I'd still have the heaviest head on Pluto
Move the barn door and look out into the shallows
Can you see the kids sinkin' in the mud flats?
[Refrain 1]
Back to back to back to back to back to back to back
Back to back to back to back to back to back to back
Tobac- tobac- tobac- tobac- tobac- tobac- tobac-
Tobac- tobac- tobac- tobac- tobac- tobacco
[Verse 4]
Though our graveyard is quiet I'll stand up and scream
No one will come I will not be seen
Cause up here we have to work
We have to work, we have to work
[Verse 5]
Down below they just lie in the dirt
They're the envy O me cause I hurt
And life burns like a hot knife in the sand
Cutting into my back like an aluminium can
[Verse 6]
Hinging my body like a door on its last legs
I will never under stand why I'm here
To pretend that I like to dirty my hands?
Asking for money like a con at the intersection
Where can I go where I can live alone?
[Refrain 2]
I hate bein' alone, I hate bein' alone
I hate bein' alone, I hate bein' alone
I hate bein' alone, I hate bein' alone
I hate bein' alone, I hate bein' alone
[Outro]
But the work won't get done unless I'm not havin' fun
I'd rather be dead than give the government one hundred percent
I'd rather be dead than give the government one hundred percent
Money for food, money for clothes
Money for ransom, money I owe
Money for you, money for me
Let's burn all the money that everybody needs
Money for food, money for clothes
Money for ransom, money I owe
Money for you, money for me
Let's burn all the money everyone needs
