Slingshot Grin - Sweet Billy Pilgrim

I know better than you do

Rock beats scissors

Paint your fingers bloody

I know better than the new

Brash transmission

From the understudies

Oh, listen to me

I know better than you do

One for the money

Make your fingers black

And I know better than you do

The heart’s a gutter

Or a cul-de-sac, it’s true

So what you gonna do?

Clocks will stop when you drop that

Slingshot grin

Oh now, a change is gonna come

Something lost when you got that

Slingshot grin

Oh now, a change is gonna come

I know better than you do

Rock beats paper

Close a fist around it

I know better than you do

Movers, shakers

Gonna b*tch about it all

Listen to me

I know better than you do

Hope’s rendition

So extraordinary

I hurt deeper than you do

Love’s a bridge

We gotta burn before we cross

Oh, tell me what you got

Clocks will stop when you drop that

Slingshot grin

Oh now, a change is gonna come

Something lost when you got that

Slingshot grin

Oh now, a change is gonna come

Oh now, a change is gonna come

Is this the coming home?

The ticker-tape parade?

Wagons in a circle

Oh, you let it happen

While you unpick the sky

Turn confetti into ash

Make tricks of all the magic

Oh, you let it happen

If everything’s a guess

Illusion’s bitter pill

Is still too big to swallow

I won’t let it happen

The sirens keep us up

And the wolves won’t settle down

But everything’s a story

So just let it happen

Everything’s a story

So just let it happen

Clocks will stop when you drop that

Slingshot grin

Everything’s a story

So just let it happen
