Little Vows

from Pure Destroyer by WAR PARTY

/

lyrics

Frank hitched a ride
To New York last night
He's got a bed and a girl w
Waiting for him in Bedstuy
And only hours between
This life and his dreams
As the mile markers pass
Like sand through a screen

And when he wakes up tomorrow
He'll go looking for work
He's gonna dress to the nines
Even smile like he's sure
That the whole world is waiting
For a man with his charms
Who can shake with both hands
After chewing off one arm

Oh well
Seed to staple
Horse to stable
To toil in this soil
Til were no longer able
It's easy enough
These vague devotions to love
To pen our little vows
With a finger in dust
So tell me who do you trust?
Who makes the shit up
That's worth repeating?

And he won't have to settle
Even to settle down
He'll keep the twinkle in his eye
He'll keep his feet on the ground
As the years start slipping
On an evening gown
And the last song is addressed
To the bedroom crowd
Where the alarm clock is waiting
Cause time isn't patient
And it's no use to sleep
If you know when you're waking
Bu you remember a time
When you felt so free
That nothing that you heard
Could ever make you agree

But now you find
That you can compromise
It feels good to slip
On the chains sometimes
It's easy enough
Those vague devotions to love
To pen your little vows
With a finger in dust
But tell me who do you trust?
Who makes the shit up
That's worth repeating?

Well you could say it one time
You could say it twice
You could say it three times
Four times just as fine

You could say it one time
You could say it twice
You could say it three times
Four times just as blind

You could sing it one time
You could sing it twice
You could sing it three times
Four times just as nice

Now you find
That you can compromise
It feels good to slip
On the chains sometimes
It's easy enough
Those vague devotions to love
To pen your little vow
With a finger in dust
So tell me
Who do you trust?
Who makes the shit up
That's worth repeating?

That's worth repeating
