Lesser Shelf Songtext
von Kerbdog

Every time a day goes by
Friday comes to mind
Maybe ′cause I'm stupid or irate
I′d rather face the future
With undetected eyes
'Cause I can't see no solace in the past

Friday had a friend she couldn′t keep
Crooked was the eye that failed to see
And Dad was a drunk who never knew
The state of the man that he got to
Sat on the edge of a lesser shelf
The man only lived ′cause he knew

No take parade
And no fuss is made
The deadbeats are loud
So proud


I think of now old loves, old friends
Meanings pass us by
All your tricks don't interest me at all
And every other deal undone
With every other high
Send me right back waiting for a chance

Friday had a friend she couldn′t keep
Crooked was the eye that failed to see
And Dad was a drunk who never knew
The state of the man that he got to
Sat on the edge of a lesser shelf
The man only lived 'cause he knew

No take parade
And no fuss is made
The deadbeats are loud
And I′m so proud

Deadbeats, deadbeats
I am not allowed
Deadbeats, deadbeats
I am not allowed
Deadbeats, deadbeats
I am not allowed
Deadbeats, deadbeats
I am not allowed


Facing back is none too bad
With curtains on my side
Happy now that what was done's denied
And never mind the seed is gone
Through colored glass I see
I′m hoping that you see yourself in me

On a lesser shelf
On a lesser shelf
On a lesser shelf
On a lesser shelf
On a lesser shelf (No take parade)
On a lesser shelf (And no fuss is made)
On a lesser shelf (The deadbeats are loud)
On a lesser shelf
