Almost Wisdom lyrics

Got an earthquake shack near Elbe.
Got a garden of dyin` cars.
Covered up deep in the mud of the powerline road.

And at night I can hear the lockjaw,
And the swagger of the devil`s tongue.
Comin` on down from the wires of the powerline road.

Sayin` that tomorrow`s just a cheap shot at today.
And that we`ve gone beyond our reckoning.
And if we don`t face the troubles now, our families will betray.
And that`s the one good reason left to give.
And it`s almost wisdom.

Geneva took the kids back home,
Never heard from her again.
That`s back when I worked all them 12-hour days.
Now I idle here wickedly, right through the thick and thin.
Never to believe what I cannot live.

Knowin` that tomorrow`s just a cheap-shot at today,
And that we`ve gone beyond our reckoning.
And if we don`t face the troubles now, our families will betray.
They`ll take the one good reason left to give.

I was drunk on her suspicions,
And a fifth of Early Times.
I went down into Elbe just to pick a fight.
And there behind the laundry house, was Geneva in a car
She opened the front door and shouted to the night.

Shouted that tomorrow is the last chance for today.
Shouted soon we`ll have our reckoning.
Shouted that the trouble here leaves us nothin` to betray.
And nothin` is the one thing left to give.
And it`s almost wisdom.
Almost wisdom. X3
