lyrics

If I’m dying would you let me know
Got things to do before I go
Been sleeping much too late to get a damn thing done
It’s the little things I remember less
Like a postcard mailed from my old address
Drinking Tanqueray, my youth is begging for rum

So tell me true
Tell me true
If I’m going down slow would you tell me true
Every stranger on the street looks just like
Someone I once knew
And I ain’t sure I want to know which gate I’d make it through
So tell me true
Tell me true

Got nothing to write home about
Want to fix it up my wallet won’t allow
My burning pockets turn dollars into dimes
Got a storage room for the cross and shroud
Got a hat hook ready for the thorny crown
Plenty of space when all I need is time

So tell me true
Tell me true
If I’m going down slow would you tell me true
Every stranger on the street looks just like
Someone I once knew
And I ain’t sure I want to know which gate I’d make it through
So tell me true
Tell me true

My head is hard but my heart is tender
So I mark my love letters with return to sender
No one gonna keep my sorry self around.

So tell me true
Tell me true
If I’m going down slow won’t you tell me true
Every stranger on the street looks just like
Someone I once knew
And I ain’t sure I want to know which gate I’m headed to
So tell me true
Tell me true

Each of their songs is layered with contagious hook-filled melodies while keeping true to Haise’s Dylan-esque vocals and cello-laced compositions. ... more
