CHEWIE - One Good Shirt lyrics

They’re looking up their skirts
And they’re asking
If it hurt when they fell
"What’s an angel like you doin’ in hell?"
They wore their one good shirt
Now they’re rolling in the dirt and
The blood and the beer
Just get me out of here
I’m running for my life before they
Cut me down to size
Back when there were more busses
Than taxies in the city oh it returns again

She looks him in the eyes but
He’s glancing at her thigh
She can tell by the way he
Moves he’s under her spell
The night just feels the same as
They stumble down a lane
In their heads it’s the next best
Thing they have to a bed
They can’t see the sky
Even though they tried
Glowing lights just reassure me, darling
That nothing’s alright oh it returns again
Oh oh how does it feel?
You think you’re ready?
I don’t know why you’re asking
He’s my brother, he ain’t heavy

She’s finding her way home
So much harder on your own
When she falls there
Is no angel waiting for her at all
The scent she leaves behind lingers
Longer in his mind is that a tear or the
Remnants of more spilled beer?
Promissory notes catching in his
Throat, and a gag
It’s the best feeling that he’s ever had
Oh it returns again

Oh oh how does it feel?
You think you’re ready?
I don’t know why you’re
Asking she’s my sister, she ain’t heavy
