Oshkosh Bend - MoriArty

It was cold and then it came

I laid my cards plain to see

They told me I had nothing to blame

My backbone’s broken and the river’s swollen

The cars are purring The leaves are pouring

The sidewalk’s empty and the street is slippery

The lights are dim

Just like the people at the party I was at

I gotta move, I wanna split

I’m pulling on a string

That’s coming to an end

The last one broke on a bend

I lost a hat and sat with a duck

The last one broke on a bend

I ain’t got nothing to pluck

I ain’t got nothing to fuck

I ain’t got nothing at all

It was cold and then it came

I had to duck to see the bus raging down on the cusp of my clustered lens

They told me I had nothing to blame

The seats were warm and the birds they swarmed

The place was bright and it felt just right

My backbone’s swollen and the river’s broken

The cars are purring the leaves are pouring

The sidewalk’s empty The street is slippery

The lights are dim

Just like the people at the party I was at

I gotta move I wanna split

I’m pulling on a string

That’s coming to an end

The last one broke on a bend

I lost a hat and sat with a duck

The last one broke on a bend

I ain’t got nothing to fuck
