(Nobel) Infidels

from Expat EP by Golden Birds

lyrics

She said it was done so I reshuffled the deck
Shot a text uptown & I was in luck
Stack me a new house
Think I give a fuck
No water off my back
I'm modular
I make it work
With shit straight off the rack

####

I'm a modern man I've got no knack for contracts
It's complex times I take them as they come
Stack me a new house
Convention center fling
Set against distance nesting
I miss you girl
I'll be home soon
Just thought I’d give a ring

####

(Hewing to a dream requires a real fortitude
It's a two way street in every pair of eyes
Stack me a new house
To see the light in all
To recognize to deny walls
& I give my life
I give my last breath
To cast ignorance down
So how can I ignore
How could I just discount
This sweet Norweg I found)

####

Mama I didn't mean to make you cry
Mama I didn't mean to make you cry
Wanted you to see that I was strong
It went all wrong
Mama when do we go back inside

####

She said it was on so I reshuffled the deck
Sent regrets uptown and ducked into Hallmark
Stack me a new house
Recalibrated quick
No sweat reflex a tic
I'm omnibus
I’ll make it work
Till shit decides to stick
