The Decemberists - Easy Come, Easy Go lyrics
[The Decemberists - Easy Come, Easy Go lyrics]
Limber Jack, he landed on his back
Was betting on the netting when
The rigging went slack was a moonless night
The stars all lending light
She's leering in the mirror when
The road it broke right
Cause you never really know
When the whistle's gonna blow
You never really know easy come and easy go
He was a stand-up gent
But no one knew his bent
And all the little bones that
He hid in his vent
She was the come-on queen, jewel on the scene
He found her in the shower
She'd been gone for seven weeks
Limber Jack, his name is on the plaque
His mother is another that will
Never get him back
Was betting on the netting when
The rigging went slack was a moonless night
The stars all lending light
She's leering in the mirror when
The road it broke right
Cause you never really know
When the whistle's gonna blow
You never really know easy come and easy go
He was a stand-up gent
But no one knew his bent
And all the little bones that
He hid in his vent
She was the come-on queen, jewel on the scene
He found her in the shower
She'd been gone for seven weeks
Limber Jack, his name is on the plaque
His mother is another that will
Never get him back
