Drunk On A Ladder
Lyrics
Lilac breeze through the back door
Hangs in shadows off the porch
A TV theme plays in my head
Blue light flickers like a dream
Take me where I used to be
Streetlights turn the day to night
Hum their songs to passersby
And all the while they’re observed
By mountains with their softening curves
And time is kind and I am hers
Ooh, like being drunk on a ladder
Pocket full of screws and nothing really matters
Up there, up there in the air
Ooh, where I can’t feel the earth
Down there where folks don’t know their worth
Subject to the curvature
Made the mistake of wearing my brand new hoochie daddy shorts today
And I’ve been cat-called seventeen times, like
“Hey boy, what that peepee do?”
Back there you are with me still
A smoke drift from the windowsill
Outside the night has come
And it’s just me and kettle one
Abandoned by that setting sun
Ooh, like being drunk on a ladder
Pocket full of screws and nothing really matters
Up there, up there in the air
Ooh, where I can’t feel the earth
Down there where folks don’t know their worth
Subject to the curvature
Ooh, like being drunk on a ladder
Pocket full of screws and nothing really matters
Up there, up there in the air
Ooh, where I can’t feel the earth
Down there where folks don’t know their worth
Subject to the curvature
Ooh, like being drunk on a ladder
Pocket full of screws and nothing really matters
Up there, up there in the air
