Kansas Isn't Much

from Good Boy by Joplin Rice

/

lyrics

shield your drunken eyes
i'm your dying guy
startled by the sound
of hellfire underground
& horsemen on the sky
you've got that money look
the fishnets and the hooks
the dagger & the gown
hey look who's back in town

guess what's in the bag
he's not coming back
patrol cars & their lights
children & their kites
tied behind their hands
in the morning's mist
where sunlight never hits
we can make our home:
a family of our tombstones

maybe we can be together
but you've already been together
maybe we can be together too
maybe we can be together
but you've already been together
maybe we can be together too

...
company's a must
show you've got some guuts
a bullet in the hand
ain't worth shit out here in this no man's land

kansas isn't much
like we would have thought
