City In A Bottle (original demo) Lyrics by Shakey Graves

The Man From Taured

2017

[Verse 1]
The cold has a hard time finding me
Unlike some folks I know
All the men down in Union Square
Are worried about the snow
When your pockets fill with dollar bills
Your heart forgets to eat
It's a wicked thing
It owns this street
[Chorus:]
Oh yeah so "Fix your boots and take me home"
Says Quick Monique the Freak
"I need an easy dollar
Are you trick or are you treat?"
If she was six teeth younger
And I had half a mind
You know I'd carry her away from that wicked thing outside
[Verse 2]
Oh well I saw a carried bundle that had fingers, eyes, and toes
As a father of deception
I have never raised a soul
It's a purchase captured second-hand
And cherished more than gold
It's a shelter from that wicked thing
That wanders in the cold
[Chorus:]
Yeah, "Fix your boots or take me home"
Says Quick Monique the Freak
"I need an easy dollar
Are you trick or are you treat?"
If she was six teeth younger
And if I had half a mind
I'd carry her away from that wicked thing outside
[Coda]
The water on the dirty streets
Has all but turned to ice
To pave the road for wicked things
That wander in the night
