townsend's solitaire - paper straws lyrics

[verse 1]
don’t think i got no work left to do
can see the end come in a moment or two
knowing these walls, keepin’ ’em dyin’
lord knows i ain’t cryin’
’cause i got no work left to do

[verse 2]
seems like old friends just grow few and further
while we’re stuck out here gettin’ no younger
i know we’re all only survivin’
sellin’ all our prizes for a lonesome holiday
why do we stay, if not for hazard pay?
[verse 3]
maybe i do got some work left to do
maybe i’ll catch some sleep or catch the news
haven’t you read in the papers?
we’ll all be givin’ favors if we just vote away their blues

[chorus]
well don’t it seem true?
all their plans of what they’ll do
but i think they knew
how they never knew the truth
well i think we knew it too
and that’s why all the world turned blue

[bridge]
if i give my life for a dollar
can’t i keep my silly pride?
yeah, i’ll bleed my heart for these hours
but i won’t get back my time
but it’s alright
to spend all i earn for a home at night

[verse 4]
how can this work be mine here to do?
do you think my paper straws will save you too?
maybe my guilt will make them cry
at least in the public eye
but who knows in their rooms?
[chorus]
everyone i know these days feels used
every heart i meet can’t take the news
every soul i’ve seen is cryin’
hands shakin’ just tryin’
to hide all their old wounds
while they cut ’em new
does the heart beat behind the bruise?
oh, this poor world too
do you think she’ll always just renew?
well, i hope she outlives you
she’ll love all that you turned blue

[instrumental break]
