Beautiful Crook

from RED DOLLARS by Red Dollars

/

lyrics

Sitting at my table you’re the most beautiful crook
Across from me you settle giving me one of your dirty looks
Didn’t ask for you to come
Wouldn’t ask for you to leave
Can’t think of another place I’d hope for you to be
Your sometimes bloodied hands
Resting inside of mine
A coffee a tea we’ve still got ourselves some time
Who drew this crooked fable?
Who wrote this worthless map?
When I meet that old mapmaker I’m gonna have him take it all back
Sirens and bloodhounds
And the rattle of convict chains
Nothing in this world has yet driven me to pray
Oh that wicked lawman
Married to the righteous thief
Who will go? Who will go down?
This time is ever brief
Who drew this crooked fable scratched beneath my feet?
Who wrote this worthless map crumpled under our seat?
When the bloodhounds are at our door
It’s a final thing we’ll meet
Finish your tea love and go and get your gun
Wash your hands and say a prayer
To the devil or your angel
Neither one does care
