Shellac - Billiard Player Song lyrics

He cursed Like a billiard player Rap his stick upon the ground Almost blind like an old man should be Shakes a lot like an old man should Off and on he's been here Probably twenty years Off and on he's been here Guess he'll never go home I guess it's a comfortable chair And company, you can't buy company It's a frame of mind It's people who have been through what you've been through And a cigar, a good cigar now and again Had his heart broken By a little girl, she was small Had his heart broken Little girl, she was small Had his heart broken You'd never expect a thing When he was a young man It was like an event He'd promise her anything He really never had to deliver He'd promise her everything Help yourself if you could do better He promised her everything She caught on A lot of people say she's crazy And I know - I know a lot of people, and I And I think, I think she's alright Cursed Like a billiard player Rap his stick upon the ground And she would ask him She was young and she didn't know Why things were like this And not another way He lied to her He lied to her, with a perfectly straight face She believed him
