Rilo Kiley "A Town Called Luckey" |
Happy birthday You're half way to sixty You have no land of your own A job you despise and a lover that's mean And you started noticing a disturbing thing Birds eating other birds just beyond the screen So packed up your things and hopped on the freeway, headed east And you drove for eight days aimlessly Telling yourself to be humble Singing yourself to be free Being full aware that it's a middle aged crisis type thing And you drove until you saw a sign for a town called Luckey Spelled L-U-C-K-E-Y Where the sugar towers rise to line and meet the streets Checked into a motel, slept on cardboard sheets That covered the blood-stained matress underneath Went to the local bar and you got yourself a drink Telling yourself to be humble Singing yourself to be free It's a middle aged crisis type thing It was the most rag-tag group you had ever seen A splendid man witha moustache on both sides, nothing in-between Looking like a preachers son who had given into the devil-worshipping scene He was a real looker and he bought you a drink And you proceeded to tell him everything And you were getting a bit hysterical it seemed And you laughed like a carburetor, and then you screamed All the doubt and the disbelief Telling yourself to be humble Singing yourself to be free It's a middle aged crisis type thing And he told you how he came to be As an altar boy by his father's knees And how he came to lose his faith There was no touching but advances were made And his father's hand in slow motion was approaching him And the doubt and disbelief crept over his young heart like the black ocean A storm cloud a hurricane if you will A storm cloud a hurricane Telling yourself to be humble Singing yourself to be free It's a middle aged crisis type thing Go home lady, find yourself happy It's just a middle aged crisis type thing It's a middle aged crisis type thing It's a middle aged crisis type thing It's a middle aged crisis type thing It's a middle aged crisis type thing It's a middle aged crisis type thing Lyric from www.lyricmania.com |
