lyrics

if im impatient yeh
sew the wounds up
bring the doors in
wake the kids up
starve the morning for the father's arms in real time
we started mourning for the lost ones in the grape vine

she's real pretty
she's real pretty baby
she's real pretty
she's real pretty lately

she's impatient yeh
blow ballons up
we started drinkin
to shut the kids up
start proceeding you'll be reading from the black book
its got no meaning but it's always been a good look

its such a pity
its such a pity baby
its such a pity
grab the brush and paint me
