lyrics
WORLD OF GOOD
(Lyrics by Patrick Porter C. 2008)
Sometimes I brace my head low
And sometimes I hang my head high
Sometimes I fold my halo
For the sake of an eye-to-eye
She is a ballerina
Flashing reds between 10th and 9th
Push lately comes to shove
And heaven help us, comes tonight
High-beams on rural high seas
Split the rifts in the AM hillsides
Sweet peels and rotting ceilings
Scent the Schultz in her paperback spines
Breathing steam to 'We'
She cracks the cuffs of her Cons to knee-highs
Hike hyper stiffs on plastics
A World Trade Center either side
Shitcan the cold potatoes for eager peaches by the slice
Sometimes I brace my head low
And sometimes I hang my head high
Sometimes I fold my halo
For the sake of an eye-to-eye
She is a ballet teacher
Trophy bone shattered in the thigh
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
Heather O, Heather O, Heather O, Heather O
