Oxbow - Cold Well-Lit Place lyrics

Artist: Oxbow

album: Thin Black Duke


The Duke brown-shirted and suited says.
"And I think I know what it is. Since it
Smells like a church mouse. So let's rearrange
The rec room chairs. Because, jesus christ, it's murder in here."
Shoes shuffle along the linoleum
And she just comes and comes and comes
"Now I didn't bring these drinks for nothing"
The Duke not disheveled or dissembled says.
"And not drinking is a sin. That offends
The eye of your lonesome. So let's tip the
Goddamned glass. And get to enjoying ourselves, fast."

Downtown no one without an invitation
Never, ever comes around
"So spread around the cheese fellas"
The Duke clear as a bell says. You might think.
"And do what your conscience clears you for.
Which, by my lights, is not nearly enough. So
Let's let the going get tough."
Cigarettes smoke gray and blue rings
And no one here is broke. No, no one here has anything to fear
And while they say that the best things in life are free
Everything around here comes with a fee
