Jay Bennett - Overexcusers lyrics

Well, the shadows might slow down your lightning-fast eyes But don't forget that one day you'll have your mother's thighs And your daddy will not always make your bail So I guess that just this one night you're going to have to spend the night in jail Well, save your Hallmark sentiments for those you pay to care Like the ones who do your nails, or shake your head, or cut your hair Because your boyfriend will not always forgive you And so I guess you're going to have to flip the gun and decide who should shoot who Well, the incredible overexcusers of our lives It's remarkable the power to forgive lies Well, I know you've poisoned every single good idea But I got just one more that I'd like you to hear But will you take advice from someone who still loves you When I know that you think that I'm the one the bloody glove belongs to? Well, the incredible overexcusers of our lives It's remarkable the power to forgive lies Well, there's a part of me that's newly on the lookout But you're the one who refuses to pull the hook out You say you know the set of secret sanctions of the drug handshake But the hand that feeds the lion will be the first his hungry jaws will take Well, the incredible overexcusers of our lives It's remarkable the power to forgive lies Well, the incredible overreceptors of bad vibes Were the apologists for the apologists of our time
