lyrics

Butter knife shave and a handsoap bath
Everywhere you go everybody laughs
Everything you say nobody takes it seriously

Now you iron your jeans
Tuck in your shirt
Shine your shoes put you money to work
and people start clapping before you even speak

47 dollar cut now you comb your hair
Dreaming about Topeka when you're stuck in Delaware
but I'm just drinking on the pier beneath the Currituck county moon

She's a sawed off shotgun I'm a bloody nose
When I take my skinny fingers and I tickle all her toes
We're a worn out welcome that's why we get around
If your feet are always moving then no one can get you down

47 dollar comb now you cut your hair
Dreaming about Tameka now you cuddle up with Claire
but I'm just singing salty songs beneath the Currituck County Moon

Bullshit rising
Bullshit hiding
Bullshit rising
Now open up and tell me what you really think

47 dollar cut now you comb your hair
Speaking in your preacher voice and dreaming that I care
But I'm just laughing with the fish beneath the Currituck county moon
