[Verse 1]
When the night sun stops tryin’
If it dims without fightin’
In a chorus of midnight
Dark flowers from the shadows
Like the ladies from Houston
Walk into my house
Drink coffee and talk softly
Drink wine and speak loud
Back at me
[Chorus]
Got a full ring of keys again
Now that I’ve
Got a full ring of keys again
Thirty years paid in disdain
As I rented the room
That my ghost became
[Verse 2]
Yeah she raised me like I was her own flesh and blood
And she came when I cried and I wasn’t embarra**ed
Well I knew enough Spanish to interpret eschew
As an on confrontation when it’s quickly removed and lifted
[Chorus]
Got a full ring of keys again
I have got a full ring of keys again
Time is a feral cat’s prowl
Blind and lost to the faith
Without fear or doubt
[Verse 3]
Sig stepped in the quicksand
And it’s not like you think
Sig waited with commitment
But he didn’t start sinking
Said, “I’d fallen in line, and a few times in love
And I’ve raised my voice at folks, I thought I was above
Like a fool.”
[Chorus]
Got a full ring of keys again
Now that I’ve
Got a full ring of keys again
Scratching glyphs into the gla**
Of the men’s room mirror
To reflect my wrath
[Verse 4]
Uncle Marty was troubled
At least that’s what I heard
And now he’s dead or in prison
He’s gone but not missin’
But I remember the birthmark
The speedy tattoo
And the words that he chose
And the way his lips moved to make them
[Chorus]
Got a full ring of keys again
I’ve got a full ring of keys again
Nothing lies further from truth
Than the words from the one
Who says solace soon
[Verse 5]
What’s the purpose if there is one?
For this televised demon?
But a sadness I feel
When he pollutes the screen
Pour the beer in the fridge
Which has halfway been tasted
That I put to my lips so it doesn’t get wasted or drank
[Chorus]
Got a full ring of keys again
I’ve got a full ring of keys again
