Portable Songtext
von Zac Clark

There′s nothing here but graveyards
Because there's nothing else to do
Between the hospitals and bars but drink
Until they bury you
So I spend empty moments
With all my vacant friends
And hope the means they′ve bottled
Bring a bottom and an end

"Hey hey hey
You are dead weight and I need you to be portable
Hey hey hey
If I can't take you for granted
I can't take you anywhere at all"


So I watch television
Where at least the cases close
And live with indecision
On any question that reality may pose
I pump my paycheck into my gas tank every week
Drive to cities I don′t know and sing so I don′t have to speak

"Hey hey hey
You are dead weight and I need you to be portable
Hey hey hey
If I can't take you for granted
I can′t take you anywhere at all"

(Ah-aha-ah's)

Still I hold on tight to something pretty
But every night when I′ve got nothing left
Under her breath she says
It hurts much less this way, I'm told
But it doesn′t change a thing when I sing to everyone I know

"Hey hey hey
You are dead weight and I need you to be portable
Hey hey hey
If I can't take you for granted
I can't take you anywhere at all"
