Song 56 - Can You Tell

I am shamelessly ripping off most of this from Rob Crow. That's probably because I recently went through a thing where all I could listen to was him or Pinback.

I have nothing else of note to preface this with. As is sometimes the case, I have no idea what this is about. Maybe someone can tell me one day.

Song 56 - Can You Tell

you are wearing your mother's clothes

and they fit you all too well 

you didn't think they'd sell

maybe someday you'll disagree

but it got the best of you

and terror caught you right between the nose

can you  tell 

that i'm sighing

you are standing way too close

to the shit you try to sell

and you can't believe the smell

did you hear it? that was the sound

of the better parts of you

dying with a bullet to the mouth

can you tell

that i am sighing

oooooh

can you tell

that i am lying?

you are trying a better pose

and you're in a better place

maybe next you'll do the face

i remember your little toe

and the box you kept it in

you don't always need a reason to let go

oh can you tell...
