Testo 16 Days - Slobberbone
Testo della canzone 16 Days (Slobberbone), tratta dall'album Crow Pot Pie
For sixteen days
I've stayed in this bedroom
In this Indian summer
It's made me sick
I don't use the phone
And I don't write no letters
All I can do is lay here and sweat
And this wretched house
It falls down around me
The air has turned foul
The walls have turned brown
They rot in the glow
Of a single light bulb
Once there was paint
But now there's just dust
And I don't know why I'm kept prisoner here
But there's no fear in these eyes
And I don't know why no one talks to me
But it's so clear when you try
She had grace
And a natural beauty
She was a girl
Raised on a farm
A constant source
Of disappointment
For both of her folks
And they don't know why
She had a love
For a life she suspected
Lay somewhere else
Beyond these crops
But she couldn't speak
And they wouldn't listen
So her dreams lay fallow
And hope turned to dust
And I don't know why I'm kept prisoner here
But there's no fear in these eyes
And I don't know why no one talks to me
But it's so clear when you try
We sit in the yard
On broken down loungers
Trying to grow food
Rusted out grill, drinking a beer
Burning our fingers, watching the dog pee on the car
And the trees all look sick now, the grass has turned brown
And the bird bath's broken and the fence fallen down
And the gate, it hangs crooked on rusted out hinges
And the heat never leaves when the sun sinks down
Once we had meaning, but now we're just hollow
And once we felt pain, but now we're just numb
Once there were words, but now there's just glances
And once we were smart, but now we're just dumb, just dumb
And I don't know why I'm kept a prisoner here
There's no fear in these eyes
And I don't know why no one talks to me
But it's so clear when you try
And I don't know why I'm kept a prisoner here
There's no fear in these eyes
And I don't know why no one talks to me
But it's so clear
