《Cardboard Box Of Batteries(Album Version)》歌词

[00:00:01] Cardboard Box Of Batteries - Kelly Joe Phelps

[00:00:33] Make a dent in the shovel

[00:00:38] Run the mud through a sieve

[00:00:44] Paste your hopes on

[00:00:45] A windmill blade

[00:00:48] Plant it up on

[00:00:55] Pencil sharpened with

[00:00:57] A putty knife

[00:01:00] Pretty girl as a pretty nun

[00:01:05] Maybe you wake and think

[00:01:07] This is great

[00:01:08] I just want somewhere to run

[00:01:23] The walls blend into ceilings

[00:01:27] And faces disappear

[00:01:32] Never enough time to think it out

[00:01:36] Only time to forget I'm here

[00:01:41] The bill is on the table

[00:01:45] But I've got no coins for pay

[00:01:50] A beer half circle

[00:01:52] Around her name

[00:01:55] What the hell did she say

[00:02:08] The wise are playing tether ball

[00:02:12] And the ball's eyes look like mine

[00:02:17] Rolling around

[00:02:19] On the end of the cord

[00:02:22] I can't make up for down

[00:02:27] I'm a stream lined

[00:02:30] Engine with a cog

[00:02:33] Chipped out of the wheel

[00:02:37] I remember a dirty joke or two

[00:02:41] But I can't remember the feel

[00:02:46] I remember a dirty joke or two

[00:02:51] But I can't remember the feel

[00:03:14] Too much time alone I spend

[00:03:19] A miser with a nickel worn

[00:03:24] Starving like a mother

[00:03:27] But I can't let go

[00:03:33] I'll spit the hours 'cross the room

[00:03:37] And I'll kick 'em out the door

[00:03:42] Hell you can have them

[00:03:46] Just another thing

[00:03:47] I've got no use for

[00:04:01] And it's funny that this comes

[00:04:03] Out dark it's not that bad

[00:04:08] There's still a sparkle silver

[00:04:12] In my cavity that plays music

[00:04:16] In the winter

[00:04:19] I've a cardboard box of

[00:04:23] Batteries hidden in a tire swing

[00:04:28] A miner's hat with a light on top

[00:04:32] And a handful of wedding rings

[00:04:38] A miner's hat with a light on top

[00:04:43] And a handful of wedding rings
