Royal Trux - The Pickup lyrics

What's that you said? I wasn't listening How long have we been talking? I didn't see the clock when I came in The storm stayed out in the valley Think of all the rain that we been missing You might say anything to anyone, but you still jump back At the black cat hissing Why you gonna raise your hand to make the pickup When you're gonna get sent down alone I turned away to keep from asking cuz I know you want to find a home Why you gonna raise your hand to make the pickup When you're gonna get sent down alone? Searching in the night Couldn't read the signs at all Houses and windows, pale grey circles under the eyes inside No keys, no chains, waiting in the kitchen all night long No need to hide, mores the fool too full to fall Reverse the shade, fill your pockets up with hair and teeth and straw Won't be moving on If I ever heard any word That didn't sound like the thrashing of the wing of a bird Could you keep it quiet? You have to do your best Not to make yourself confess When you feel like a naked fool over all the things You couldn't pull Why you gonna raise your hand to make the pickup When you're gonna get sent down alone?
