As Tall As Cliffs

I tell tales, tall as cliffs, you've got a lisp Kid, those things are hard to miss like my cripple cough All your weekends lost by the lake Where you said I needed be afraid Of all those devils on the wall That make a fella small When he's feelin' brave They take his wine away There were posters on the wall I swear my mother saw That I'd been up all night Up all night And you came well equipped With a gun on your hip and some poison on your lips But when we wake up in our make up We'll be clean, we won't have nowhere to be Oh, but I can't talk to you the way I've wanted to I've been tellin' lies but I'll tell you the truth Oh, I can't talk to you the way I've wanted to I've been tellin' lies but I'll tell you the truth Darling, I'm tired and I should be leaving, leaving You know I'm tired and I should be leaving, leaving tonight Darling, I'm tired and I should be leaving, leaving You know I'm tired and I should be leaving And you'll hang like the rest We'll leave a noose on the attorney's desk And take to the streets, chant like an army And doctor up this disease
