Shakey Graves - Word of Mouth lyrics

Well I see a girl that's blue like the sea When I go to sleep you know that she sees me, too Oh yeah just standing around like the popular kids Just hoping Saint Peter will let us in too He says, "If you value your life, stay off the d** If you value the d**, stay off the map If you value them maps, you'd better travel, son And if you don't want to travel then you'd better run, yeah." (Vocalizing) Yeah well I knew a king in his purple throne You know that he had some trouble so he's all alone now Well I used to bring him little presents from time to time He'd sit me in his castle and he'd pick my mind He said, "If you value your heart, stay on the road If you value the road, stay on the top If you value the top, you're gonna suffer son And if you don't wanna suffer then you'd better run, yeah." (Vocalizing) Well I see my boss in his practical suit You know I'll toss him in the cellar, won't give him no food Yeah, when anybody tries to tell him what to do He holds his breath until he turns blue He says, "If you value your job, stay out of crime If you value the crime, stay out of doors If you value them doors, you'd better lock 'em son And if you don't want to lock 'em, you'd better buy a gun." (Vocalizing) Yeah, well I saw a snake in an apple tree You know I didn't trust a word that he hissed to me, no! Yeah he said, "It must be getting awful lonely trying to save the world; Just buy a collared shirt and try to f** some girls." He said, "If you value your limbs, stay in the game If you value the game, stay in that style If you value that style, you're sinking son And if you don't want to sink, then you better run." (Vocalizing)
