Barstool Prophets - Short & Curlies lyrics

Artist: Barstool Prophets

album: Crank


Sitting on a barstool in the middle of the afternoon
I'm pondering existence and exactly what it was you said to me
My bottle holds no answers so I tell the man I'd like ask another one
This one too is of no help to me so I kill it, pay, and then I leave
I cross the street against the light
And interrupt the bustle of the boulevard
And I pass a bum with upturned palm
Who amazingly appears worse off than me
His pleas are met with ignorance by
Many of the passersby this afternoon
So I give him all of my pocket change and earn his eternal gratitude
Woah 'cause life has got him firmly by the short and curlies
So I turn the corner up the block
And come upon a woman, who you could say I've known before
Well her name has been Candi, and Sunni
I think this time I'll call her Crystal
Well she asks me if I'd like to see a trick or two
I say "Yes" because magic excites me greatly, don't you know
A nearby man walks up to us and arrests us
It's her third of time today
Woah 'cause life has got her firmly by the short and curlies
I'm sitting in my jail cell a little late on in the afternoon
I'm listening to this jackass who's telling me
The vital part his family played the in taming of the new world
Oh I grab him by the throat and push him up against the wall and say
"Man I'm not having a very nice day!"
He said ten words to me
Those are ten words that I will never forget
No I'll never forget
He said, "Life has got us firmly by the short and curlies."
And it hurts, sometime hurts, ow
Woah life has got me firmly by the short and curlies
Yeah life has got me firmly by the short and curlies
Woah life has got me firmly by the short and curlies
