Karaoké Wait So Long Trampled by Turtles

I could never pretend that I don't love you

You could never pretend that I'm your man

That's exactly the way that I want it

That's exactly the way that I am

And you call me in the mornin' with your troubles

Takin' it downtown every night

I could never place the stars at night above ya

I got my hands on the ground and you know I'm right

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

It's a coffee stained earth every time it happens

Liven up honey it ain't that bad

Any afterthought rose to recognition

Like every other coffin that I had

And your Buick broke down in Winnemucca

Fall to your knees and you pray to the Lord

Then you take up hope at the politicians

Nothin' happens in this burnt out town anymore

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

And your heart rolls on like a frozen freight train

You know that I help you if I can

But I'm just a raindrop in a river

Just a little itty-bitty grain of sand

And you know that I'm doomed to repeat this with all the bad habits that I've learned

But it's better than your fire-borne fornication and all the dirty money that you earn

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long

You wait so long
