― Annie Proulx, Close Range

lyrics

DRAMA KINGS & QUEENS

You don’t look like the type a girl
Who could get sweep off her feet
But here you are with your feet above the ground
At least six fuckin’ feet
It makes me feel so goddamn bad
Ain’t sleep in half a week
Guess when I swept you I fell too
Cause I ain’t been right since that week

Chorus:
Mother nature revealed herself to
Be a fucking drama queen
And I revealed myself to be
Some sort of fucked up king
Oh everybody’s got something wrong with ‘em
It’s up to you how much you can take
And I ain’t found that spot yet babe
So it’s up to me when to say

I guess I had things pegged right
For your feet finally found the ground
Now I’m the only one floating up here babe
Like the only bird in town
But there’s a beautiful flock of some kinda fowl
In a pattern up in the sky
I guess I must be of the same feather
Cause I keep drifting higher

Chorus

I always thought I was so even keel
Kept my emotions intact
But I found out last night that babe
I just keep them fuckers in a sack
So you go east and I’ll head west
And we’ll meet up somewhere in between
With directions like that babe
There ain’t no way I won’t see you on my street

Chorus
