I went to a cobbler to fix a hole in my shoe He took one look at my face and said, "I can fix that hole in you" "I beg your pardon, I'm not lookin' for a cure, I've seen enough of my friends in the depths of the godsick blues" You know I am a liar You know I am a liar Nobody helps a liar 'Cause I've been down to Dixie and dropped acid on my tongue Tripped upon the land 'til enough was enough I was a little bit lighter and adventure on my sleeve I was a little drunk and looking for company So I found myself a sweetheart with the softest of hands We were unlucky in love, but I'd do it all again We built ourselves a fire We built ourselves a fire But you know I am a liar You know I am a liar And you don't know what I've done By the rolling river is exactly where I was There was no snake oil cure for unlucky in love To be lonely is a habit like smoking or taking drugs And I've quit them both, but, man, was it rough And now I am tired It just made me tired Let's build ourselves a fire Let's build ourselves a fire
