Dirty South Dakota
And the bones buried underneath
The meth crop's a little bit sweeter this year
Bought off the Lakota man missing all his teeth
And your body is draped like a corpse on the mattress
In the cabin that your father's money bought
Ash and hash and chocolate wrappers
The baby boils at the thought
Your eyes are as bright as two hubcaps
Until you remember who you are
You do better than I do in the morning
But that won't get you very far
Baby, say you love me
Before you get too high to talk
Before the blood and the bile make it too hard to smile
Before you hit the pipe and make it dark
For a second, let's pretend
That we'll get out of this again
Because we're young and alive as we're gonna be
And I won't go to the clinic tomorrow
Listen for the sound I make
When my belly starts to burst
There's a second verse that you'll ignore
You gotta hit a little bit more of it first
I'm sorry, I didn't try
To knock you so hard off the wagon
But you'd never ridden before.
It was the only way I could adore you.
Baby, say you love me
Before you get too high to talk
Before the blood and the bile make it too hard to smile
Before you hit the pipe and make it dark
For a second, let's pretend
That we'll get out of this again
Because we're young and alive as we're gonna be
And I won't go to the clinic tomorrow
Baby, say you love me
Before you get too high to talk
Before the blood and the bile make it too hard to smile
Before you hit the pipe and make it dark
For a second, let's pretend
That we'll get out of this again
Because we're young and alive as we're gonna be
I want to survive what we both could be
There's a world in my eyes I wish that you could see
But I'm going to the clinic tomorrow.
I'm going to the clinic tomorrow, and you will never know
