FAIR TO MIDLAND lyrics : "whiskey & ritalin"

from hand to heart and hands to head
these gritty teeth grind gears of infrared
he crash lands in dull white noise

all I hear is static in his voice

when those sweet red hands

start their whirlwinds
and you're the drain


you're imagining things
your pretend machine
has sticks in its every spoke

you're inventing it all
from thin air and close calls
welcome to the balancing act


your rabbit's foot is hare and hounds
and I drag pianos, eyes glued to the ground

when he dialed 911
busy signals sang familiar songs
those sweet glad hands

start their whirlwinds
and you're the plane


you're imagining things
your pretend machine
has sticks in its every spoke

you're inventing it all
from thin air and close calls




if we bought the stock we'd be broke


you taught us to claw


put us through your speech
if I'm a red anchor
then your coming with me

and on the way down
we can sleep with the fish
as we go into the blue

we can both reminisce

and you better hide

or learn how to climb
'cause your coming with me
and on the way down

you will sleep with the fish
'cause your coming with me


you're imagining things
your pretend machine
has sticks in its every spoke

you're inventing it all
from thin air and close calls
welcome to the balancing act
