lyrics

my mother was an incongruous mess
held me like a shotgun to her breast
never let my blasted body rest

if a man's not a hassle he's a threat
but sometimes i drink and lose a bet
and other times i guess i just forget

if all things must fall down
or fall apart, i know
i'm tumbling, i'm crumbling
o love, i'd better go

it is 1927... i feel fresh
adventure in my bones, music in my flesh
i'll sing you something pleasant by request

on this plane i guess i'll climb and blow away
but the sun still shines above the clouds so grey
and if i'm back in time, we'll catch buddy holly play

i promise
