Dallas ate an omelette in the corner booth alone
Paid his bill smoked a cigarette and paid to use the phone
Said rudely as he left “My eggs were fucking cold”
Rock a Dark denim jacket switchblade and a comb
Headed to the crib, bare mattress and his shit
He’s a rebel, he’s devil, he’s a clever little prick
Running scams for this and that beer money and a lid
Priors in New york, But OKC, is where he live
Catch a movie, hit on cuties, smoke a doobie by the bridge
A lost generation wanders through the matrix
Underfed intellect, overtaxed paychecks
Problem solving fist fights, promise kept bracelets
Unkempt greasy hair young and abrasive
Booze hounds howl
Echoes fall against the moon
A moment for the orchids, the gorgeous and the truth
An opus from the hopeless resonates across the room
Without proof there's so much he could prove
The animal in man is the greater of the two
He eats Cold cuts without closing the fridge
Enjoys a lonely moment of emotional bliss
Catch a glimpse of his face over an unkempt sink
Then its shit, shower, shave I’ll be over at six
He ain't gotta say much
Cuz, she know what it is
Families rise and fall like the needles in the pines. It hardly makes a sound to the eagles in the sky.
Careful who you chase and anything you catch
When the going gets tough there's no going back
Dallas left the hospital with one less friend
Angry and defeated by the burden of death
A distorted soul trapped in a portion of map
Sorted vocals fall flat watch the oracle snap
It's the crypt that persists modern man and his lists
Lit cigarette gripped at the base of his lips
Gets sick in the sink finds the exit and dips
Now he pissed and adrift out by like Francis and fifth
Too exist is a trick that's enriched by a switch
But the pain this inflicts is persistently shit
Dallas grips the weapon in a trembling hand
Gimme all the money He ain't asking again
He took the money out the drawer
Put the money in the bag
Cop shop em twice in the head as he left
Dallas died impressed A magnificent death
Leave your message at the tone
I will never call you back
Families rise and fall like the needles in the pines. It hardly makes a sound to the eagles in the sky.
Careful who you chase and anything you catch
When the going gets tough there's no going back
Families rise and fall like the needles in the pines. It hardly makes a sound to the eagles in the sky.
