Selfless in a City Lyrics by Hip Hatchet

Joy and Better Days

2012

A man with a twist off bottle of wine
Asked me for a corkscrew
I said man, take your time
Do what you gotta do
A larger man, well he bummed a smoke
And said you must be local
I moved here three weeks ago
But i know a thing or two
Selfless in a new city thinking
I'll give myself away
'till I'm empty like the women
Who fill a void and I avoid next evening
The large man's friend with shinning head
Said that he came looking for some
Last night was seattle
And tonight well it's gonna be rough
Go upstairs to the bar
That i can barely afford
These days i've been bleeding
Months of humble chores
Selfless in a new city thinking
I'll give myself away
Until my friends have had their fill
And let their knees dig in my back till my chest is dead and still
Man i met at the Bye and Bye
Had his ears stretched open wide
He saved me from being alone
For an hour's time
A little later in the night
I said I probably shouldn't drive
But oh man, I've been feeling alone
And a car wreck sounds all right
Selfless in a new city thinking
I'll give myself away
Until my shoulders touch my toes
And i look down and both my hands
Are gray and old
So i can say that oh, i gave it all
