Joe Firstman - Speak Your Mind Lyrics

July came to me like an angel
And I warmed to her
I took to her like a handout
And so I wait for her
Like a check in the mail
And I slept with her in a dream last night
Well I was lying like a salesman
Down on that boulevard
She would barter for a tightrope
Like a discount spool of yarn

I been messing up
You've been resting
I guess I should get some sleep sometime
I been reaching in my bag
Joking like a cocaine hag
And you will always speak your mind

You were sleeping like a baby
After painting your decisions on the wall
I was weighing all your wishes in my head
Instead you caught me out there wandering the halls
I was sicker than a cancer
But you were pivotal in my recovery
Out the door you came
Knowing you would never stay
Knowing I could never ever leave

I been messing up
You've been resting
I guess I should get some sleep sometime
I been reaching in my bag
Joking like a cocaine hag
And you will always speak your mind

What you don't know
You don't know
What you don't know
You don't know
What you don't know
You don't know

I been messing up
You've been resting
I guess I should get some sleep sometime
I been reaching in my bag
Joking like a cocaine hag
And you will always speak your mind
