The Lulls in Traffic - The Rope To Pull Yourself Together lyrics

[Verse 1] You started life in the golden sun Made a fool of everyone Built a shelter inside my heart Ran away when your faith was gone But you never changed in the world I see Only made a fool of love with me Take it on the chin again, one day they’ll see With each thread you’re pulling out You’re standing still somehow [Chorus] But you don’t have the rope to pull yourself together now Together now Together now Together now [Verse 2] I found you in the gutter, street corner In my book as lover See: Former So it’s appropriate that I leave you for the coroner Smoking dope again but I’m adoring the way your teeth grill Cheap thrills left their mark, no doubt But this is what I’m about, seeing you suffer Washing out your mouth, blasphemy Mi casa, mi casa You’re asking me nicely now but I still say no Call yourself a lady, but I still say “American sh** stain with an arrogance-kissed brain” Man on the moon, video, stereo, diamonds too What’s a guy to do when I owe God my whole life to you? Wrote it out, even typed it too Just to make sure I didn’t sound like you No fire, no light No light,
 no fire, backseat driver I said I knew where we’re going I’m a liar [Chorus] But you don’t have the rope to pull yourself together now Together now Together now Together now [Chorus] But you don’t have the rope to pull yourself together now Together now Together now Together now
