Short Straw Wins Lyrics by Squirrel Bait

Skag Heaven

1987

[Verse]
Short straw always wins
Like the cockroach crows
There are things
I don't wanna know
[Chorus]
Lights are on, ain't nobody home
Giggle now and laugh last
Eyes are open, think fast
Skid marks mark the spot
There's no point in asking why
You paid me off too long ago
Cross my palm hope to die
[Outro]
Lights are on, ain't nobody home
Giggle now and laugh last
Eyes are open, think fast
Seventy miles on a ninety degree turn
The hard way's the best to learn
Short straw always wins
Like the cockroach crows
Skid marks mark the spot
There's no point in asking why
You paid me off too long ago
Cross my palm hope to die
