Spinning Like a Top

[00:10.09] When I was a rover, met a four leaf clover, she was Irish as the day was long
[00:15.07] I thought she'd give it to me maybe, now she's married with a baby, I've been dodging bullets all along
[00:20.05] Man, we would creep but never lost no sleep, I would cut cat nip into the weed, nobody was the wiser but they could have been higher and it meant more money for me
[00:29.04] Here's to not getting caught, doctor it's only a graze
[00:35.01] Spinning like a top, running like a villain and the years are going by like days
[00:44.05] School bus, I got on it, I was nearly catatonic,
[00:51.10] I couldn't speak a goddamn word Homeroom class, forge a hall pass and we would get higher than the birds
[00:59.18] My foolish nature, the chase for the paper, I would deal in the broad daylight
[01:04.16] 18 years old, head full of psilocybin and howling at the moon all night
[01:28.18] Small town shadows, clean out of sight, nothing to fear but the coming of that morning light
[01:39.14] Ducking and dodging and diving for that rent, if it couldn't be broken, it could be bent
[01:59.18] Washing dishes, stealing kisses, making our deals on the side
[02:03.12] She said are you ready honey, we got gas money, going on a real long ride
[02:08.15] Lying like a rug, prescription drugs, old guitars, new girlfriends
[02:13.17] Everybody shunned me, I just thought that it was funny and I'd do it all over again
