cannonandtheboxes - november 22nd lyrics
raspy old voice asks me for a light
the bones he calls fingers aren’t working quite right
i said, “sir, they’ll k!ll you, oh, can’t you see?”
“son, i’ve been smoking since 1963.”
“november 22nd, they took the president
thanksgiving came and then christmas went
twenty-one years old, i voted for jack
november 22nd, i bought my first pack”
“years later, i’d find a wife
turns out i’m good at cheap small talk and lies
but women won’t stay there for life
so just give me that light”
i pulled out my zippo and there’s the flame
the old man asked me to stay, if it’s all the same
“it’s 3 on a sat-rday, i’ve got nothing to do
sir, i don’t mind sitting here with you”
“september 11th, 2001
five and half years i had been dying
other work, double shifts, cleaning the floors
now went to sleep with a box in your clothes”
“well, the eight decades have been rough
i used to think menthols were tough, now i know
i just need an escape to be here
just give me that light”
