City in a Bottle (Live @ 2023) Lyrics by Shakey Graves

Roll The Bones X

2011

[Intro]
(Okay, I'll do it slower)
[Verse 1]
Yeah, well the cold has a hard time finding me
Unlike some folks I know
Yeah all the men down in Union Square
Are worried about the snow
[Bridge 1]
’Cause when your pockets fill with dollar bills your heart forgets to eat
It's a wicked thing, it owns this street
[Verse 2]
So fix your boots or take me home says quick Monique the freak
Oh yeah, I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
Oh, if she was six teeth younger lord and I had half a mind
You know I'd carry her away from that wicked thing outside
[Verse 3]
Oh well I saw a carried bundle
That had fingers eyes and toes
As a father of deception
I have never raised a soul
[Bridge 2]
Yeah it’s a purchase capture second hand and cherished more than gold
Yeah it's a shelter from the wicked thing that wanders in the night
[Verse 4]
Oh yeah so fix your boots or take me home says quick Monique the freak
Oh yeah I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
Oh if she was six teeth younger lord and I had half a mind
You know I'd carry her away from that wicked thing outside
[Outro]
Oh, all the water on the dirty streets has all but turned to ice
Oh, to pave the road for wicked things that wander in the night
