lyrics

These walls are uneven
Narrow stairs split the house
The doors are all crooked
And the floor’s pitchin’ south

This place gets me dizzy
But I don’t think it’s the walls
Could be Lizzy lookin’ at me
Like the ghost in the hall

She says “Love don’t come easy
And I’m so hard to please
Since I gave mine to Johnny
Behind my daddy’s oak tree

But It’s a god-sized hole
And you won’t fill it
With anybody like me”

There’s a kid stuck inside me
And he was startin’ to bloom
Now he’s rotten with envy
In this hourly room

He says “Man, I ain’t angry”
But he’s bitter at the thought
That he spent all your money
On a bag that he bought

He was supposed to get coffee
And he was supposed to get bread
Then he met an old gypsy
And she kissed him on the head

“It’s a god-size hole
And you won’t fill it
With anybody like me”

I got rocks in my belly
I leave stains in the sheets
And I bet you can smell me
‘Fore I turn down your street

I got a funny disposition
And this smile on my lips
But they’re tremblin’ from tuggin’
All the weight of these ships

It’s a god-sized hole
And you won’t fill it
With all the ships in the sea
It’s a god-sized hole
And you won’t fill it
With all the water in the sea
