Spinnaker (The Park Bench Rant)
Osceola
Intro-
Tonight I heard a melody that made me want to sing
And think of everything and everyone that means something to me
I tried to write down exactly how it felt
To hold that pen in my one hand, fix a drink with the other
Osceola we’re getting older and this room keeps getting colder everyday
And every night, every day and every night
I didn’t want to play your records ever again
Cause I didn’t want to think, I wanted to begin
It’s nights like this when I am kissed with sin
For drinking too much, I am starting to believe
That all those christian songs had my number dead on
And it’s really sad when there’s nothing to believe in I said,
Osceola it’s getting colder and we are all getting older everyday but
Mostly tonight, mostly tonight, mostly tonight
Osceola turn my shit luck on a dime
That I gave to a man that gave me a stale cigarette
And told me that I, I was right, I was right
Osceola you are killing me tonight
If I get this right I promise I’ll close my eyes
But I’m still sleeping with this steel under my pillow tonight
