Gifts from Enola - Steady Diet

Текст песни

I’ve got a heavy coat
Made from the hair of the dogs that bit me
Cause its awfully cold
And I’d rather not notice
Strolling along
Like noone can
See how I’m dressed
Cause if I can’t see how
They look at me
What difference does it make?
I’m not making excuses
Just explaining myself
I’m not asking for too much
Just enough
I can settle for quartz
While my sister wears diamonds
I can pawn my silver linings
Just as soon as I find them
I’ll replace them with tin
Or anything that’ll glint for me
While my neighbors sun/son is shining
Nobody points
Noone asks questions
I’m not asking for much
Just enough
To get by
Unnoticed
Cause there will
Be those weeks
When there’s nothing to eat
But canned beans and your words
Cold rice and your pride
And in times like these
I’ll thank god
For the steady
Diet
