Quote for Discussion: Voxtrot

Too many times you’re gonna go out with a-walkin’

Too many times you come out late

Too many times you set yourself out of the scene, it makes you walk up straight

It makes you walk up straight

Too many times you trade the bottle for the body

One drop of breath and one for skin

You say nobody knows the truth about your body, are you entirely thin?

Are you entirely thin?

But if I were a good man, would it really happen?

Would you walk me home and everyday from work

But maybe I’m a good man, wouldn’t let it happen

I believe in love, I’m married to my work

Cause I can be a father, I can be a brother, I can be a flower, rise up in the dirt

We were born to live here, We were born to die here

And you know this when you work

Yeah, you watch me when you work

Well, you are free from the work or the silence

Well, you know what to do with your demands

It’s not sure

You got a few ideas

And when you wake from this shell of this body

Or will you sink your ghostly man?

Well, it’s not holy

You’ve got something better up your sleeve

Too many times you’ll keep your love dry for your family

And let it over in your sleep

You’ll overtry to hold some burden like a man, something you can keep

Something you can keep

You smell the scent of something burning in the kitchen

He smells the future on the lawn

These are the things we’ve come to recognize as truth, we cut the right into wrong

We cut the right into wrong

But if I were a good man, would it really happen?

Would you walk me home and everyday from work

But maybe I’m a good man, wouldn’t let it happen

I believe in love, I’m married to my work

Cause I can be a father, I can be a brother, I can be a flower, rise up in the dirt

We were born to live here, We were born to die here

And you know this when you work

Yeah, you watch me when you work

It seems that we be smooth like pebbles

But now we get scared like our parents

Or somewhere fake

It’s just a waste of money

And when you wake up tomorrow, my son

Will you be the father of someone terrible

It will it shine, throughout your life

It won’t bury you, cause we know

Somewhere in the darkness, you will find love, baby you will find love

You will feel younger girl

And you will feel young.
