lyrics

What’s this song you been singing
Standing over tumbled graves
With whiskey and wishful thinking
To suffer the end of days

I could try to ‘splain it
But you won’t like the answer
Friendly banter
Can quickly go wrong

What’s this noise you’re making
Like wind beneath the door
What's this noise you are creating
Is it a civil war

I could try to ‘splain it
But you won’t like the answer
Friendly banter
Can quickly go wrong
So I don’t splain
These songs.

I want you to picture a world
Where everythang is not about ya
I want you to picture a world
Where shit goes down even without ya
Some things
You don't need to understand.
Some things
You may never understand.
You got to know what you don't need to know
To get it
You got to know what you don't need to know
To forget it
You got to know what you don't need to know
To let it be.
Ain’t got’ be no answer.
So let it be.

But you won’t like the answer
Friendly banter
Can quickly go wrong
So I don’t splain
These songs.

“Literary Kravitz,” as some say. ... more
