Sage Francis - Crackpipes lyrics

Too often people said I wouldn't last
Don't make me laugh, don't make me laugh

I'd give a twenty one gunshot salute
With a toy rifle you bought
Me but it won't shoot
And all is well because there's
Been one too many shots
The sterile robots want to talk
To me about Detox
Stop the presses, there's been an update
Delivered via 1: 30 AM phone call
When an only half-informative
Source talks discretely
Meet me - at the family room at
The side of the Intensive Care Unit
Immediately, I'll carry a tune
The sirens so loud, can't hear my music
Keep free - of negative thoughts
Everything'll be fine
We all assume that it would go
Back to the way things were
That it would go back to normal soon
Saw the moon in a way that
I never seen it before
When I looked up that night
Into the sky wondering why
Lookin' for answers
Guess I ain't ask right
I'm guessin most of yall out there
Know exactly what that's like
What that's like
Now tell me what's that like?
It's like a whirlwind of emotions occurs
When moms and dads fight
It's like when a girl grins
An emotion of hers
That holds your arm, and grabs tight
Hurl him into the ocean
One of them cold sweat heat flash types
With extreme fluctuations and
Temperature changes
Have been known to crack pipes
Crack pipescrack pipes

Meet me - half way and I'll go that
Extra length just to help your strength
Meet me - at the AA meeting
Needing to take more then 12 steps
Bring me to your hiding place
So I can face your vice grip
I'll chisel every single monkey off your
Back with this ice pick
Come meet up with me on the
Sidelines when the game is over
Just to say hello, then afterwards, backstage
To let me know that you enjoyed the show
And go to grandma's house for Sunday dinner
Sit at the head of table
Take away the fatal flaw
You made the day before, I seen you bleed
Meet me - on Christmas Eve
We can fight but make up before you leave
Make visit's with the rest of those that
Rest in pieces on my dreams
Meet me at the fork in the road
Where the lost souls get indecisive
Meet me at the crossroads so I can have
Someone to walk into the light with
