Strawman by Levi Robinheart [lyrics]

You’re a tunnel and the wind is your bully Blood-red wine will drip down your straws Your throat is coated in dust, mind you A testament to your sold-out heart

I’m a garage made for anyone to sleep in I’ll hold your boxes if you just shut the door Don’t wake the walker in his sleep, mind you He’d bound to cry another night for you

[CHORUS: I couldn’t tell if there’s too much I couldn’t tell if it’s not enough It’s so strange the way that the weather turns a dime I couldn’t say if that’s the way I felt but I’m sure glad that you’re here You can sew me up, I’ll be fine with that You just sew me up, I’ll be fine with that ]

Nobody gives the kid their orders Nobody gives the girl away Nobody’s old with the rest of them Somebody love Nobody’s body away

A phantom in the alley sings their heart out ‘cause they can’t find a single word to say And when the singin’s done and there’s nowhere else to go the Strawman brings his hat along the way

[CHORUS]

I bet a pencil could go writin’ through my forearm A squish would send me flat along the floor You’re here to kiss me, I’m here to kiss you too if to keep myself from headin’ out the door

My blood is low now and beauty seems so easy You make me wish that I was older by a day There’s nothin’ in my coat I wouldn’t give, mind you, to have the salt across my tongue another time

[CHORUS] x 2

You just sew me up, I’ll be fine with that
