State Radio - Sybil III lyrics

I found mattress off the back of an open box truck I carried it on my back down the length of my block I slept above Revolution Records and a toy factory Across from the Electric Lady Land and all the shoes on H Street You dropped out of high school to find a life outside the cinder block walls You worked part time at the diner and then over the old folks home There six kids in your house all piled in on the third floor And you moved to Southy on Oak Street not far from the shore Oh the first time I saw her she was up on a rec hall stage You were trying to keep from laughing your voice was covered in blue paint We came in from the mainland on a spade from '71 I came back at night on my dads motorcycle but you were gone Well I heard about you from my friend Billy Bogs How you ran with all the boys and their trucks How you can could drink an old car off its blocks And be home in time for dinner I was driving Wimpy around with Finny in my lap he was just a pup I sneaked by your moms house and see if you were up I said my brothers and I are going out we wont be long Yea were going to Four Corners for a fire would you like to tag along And I said yea I like her just fine You said yea I guess he's alright Yea but something it happened in time A love born that keeps getting bigger It keeps getting bigger You had your hair pulled back, back when it was all blonde You'd been to LA but came back because it was never home We moved in to Sparhawk and in the van you claimed your seat You shaved your head and said you wouldn't leave me for all the shoes on the H Street And oh I say I'm yours and you say you're mine And all we ask for is time and more time And thank the world for treating us so kind For a love that keeps getting bigger And how could I have a chorus so true As to bare any resemblance to you And I'm sure its been sung and it's been said As the visions they play in a mans head As I set out with the impossible to do Write a song that's as pretty as you And your face isn't covered in blue But if I could say anything its thanks for seeing me through And this love that keeps getting bigger It keeps getting bigger
