| LYRICS - THURSDAY'S CHILD |
I got nothing to hide
I'm as naked as the day I was born
In November and you know what they say Thursday's child has far to go don't I know
I got far to go should I leave you behind
And drive to Alaska on Saturday night
These four walls around me are keeping out the light
No one is riding shotgun, I'm driving alone
I can turn up the music and do whatever I want
When I get to the border i'll put a quarter in the payphone
Oh my tyranny's gonna crumble
And so sit next to me and fumble with the buttons on my dress
What do you want to be, I want to be a plumber
To get down on my knees and unplug your drain
I feel an ache in my bones every time that it rains
And when I look at the sun in the sky I tell time
If something is leaking just give me a call
There's a tear on your cheek, there's a crack in the wall
I can soak up the water with the folds of my black shawl
Oh my tyranny's gonna crumble
And so sit next to me and fumble with the buttons on my dress
What do you want to do, I want to watch you stumble
Stumble through this fertile land
In your pocket are both my hands
When I get to the other side
The northern lights in a blanket of white
I wanted to be a singer and so I grew my hair long
I needed a guitar slinger to push me along
To fill out my verse and my chorus with a baritone
I got nothing to hide I'm laying it out there take it or leave it you can't figure it out
Thursday’s child has far to go I'm going to shout it
Oh my tyranny's gonna crumble
And so sit next to me and fumble with the buttons on my dress
