Electric Six - Skin Caboose (Be My) lyrics

And now you’ve got to give up every gain
I see my knuckles in the rain
When I awake I will be on you
Time keeps moving on, keeps moving on
There comes a day when you’ll be gone
And on that day I will describe you

Like a desperado dancing on the devil’s noose
Six-shooter at his side but it's no use
Lover, it's no use
Woohoo – it’s no use, it’s no use
It’s no use woohoo – it’s no use
Woohoo, woohoo

Every song I write comes in on three
I hope some day you’ll come to see
I couldn’t get to four without you
You wind up in a jail with no bail
You doth protest to no avail
I’ll write a prison song about you

When every drop of moonshine has been
Used to spike the juice
I’m bored to tears now watch me drop a deuce
Gonna drop a deuce
Woohoo, drop a deuce, drop a deuce
Drop a deuce woohoo, drop a deuce, Hey!
Woohoo, woohoo

Love used to be something that
You’d break and then buy
I had an unlimited supply
That was in the days when I used to slay
Now it’s all just crazier than cray, cray

And now you watch me drifting out to sea
My only exit strategy
Is coming back here to surround you
Time is up, I let you get the rest
Tattoo my name upon your breast
I should have guessed this when I found you

But darling drop your weapon
And let’s have a little truce
Come a little closer now and
Be my skin caboose be my skin caboose
Woohoo, skin caboose, skin caboose
Skin caboose woohoo, skin caboose
Woohoo, skin caboose, skin caboose
Skin caboose woohoo, skin caboose woohoo
