Held Up Tab

by State Radio


Unreleased State Radio Song.


VERSE
		   		     
Bought the old farmland for a song 
                              
Sold it for many reasons 

Too many of them wrong 
	                        
Horseshoe bets and the women that came along 
			  	    
Blind-drunk on their demon rum 

VERSE
Is knowledge a product of his loneliness 
A mad cousin to his holiness 
Maniacs in cages 
And patriots and sages 
A cruel old/on telling of the books 

REFRAIN
       
But I'll not give 
              
Myself, to the ground 
               
I kill more than I 
     
Live so slowly 
     
Live so slowly 

BRIDGE
        

VERSE
Say one thing and then do another 
Bunker down in your alsatian den
We 'aint got room for your politics here 
Politicians make a bad name for the con-man 

VERSE
And water felt like burning metal 
Set off by a dying sun 
Them women they circle 
Like covered wagons crying 
Their loved ones back from where they, gone 

REFRAIN
And I'll not give 
Myself to the ground 
I kill more than I 
Live so slowly 
Live so slowly
