Almost Wisdom Lyrics

by Walkabouts
Album: Setting The Woods On Fire (1994)



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

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

Sayin that tomorrows just a cheap shot at today.
Sayin that tomorrows just a cheap shot at today.
And that weve gone beyond our reckoning.
And that weve gone beyond our reckoning.
And if we dont face the troubles now, our families will betray.
And if we dont face the troubles now, our families will betray.
And thats the one good reason left to give.
And thats the one good reason left to give.
And its almost wisdom.
And its almost wisdom.

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

Knowin that tomorrows just a cheap-shot at today,
Knowin that tomorrows just a cheap-shot at today,
And that weve gone beyond our reckoning.
And that weve gone beyond our reckoning.
And if we dont face the troubles now, our families will betray.
And if we dont face the troubles now, our families will betray.
Theyll take the one good reason left to give.
Theyll take the one good reason left to give.

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

Shouted that tomorrow is the last chance for today.
Shouted that tomorrow is the last chance for today.
Shouted soon well have our reckoning.
Shouted soon well have our reckoning.
Shouted that the trouble here leaves us nothin to betray.
Shouted that the trouble here leaves us nothin to betray.
And nothin is the one thing left to give.
And nothin is the one thing left to give.
And its almost wisdom.
And its almost wisdom.
Almost wisdom. x3
Almost wisdom. x3
