Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!
I once had me a good-looking, God-fearing Girl from the hills in the dusk But the sawdust and lake-rust from those days were nearing An end, so the locals don't trust us But they are just locals, and locals are rude The drifter knows more though his expression is crude And I'm a little bit of both though, I'm not merely one And everyone's a local Everyone's a local Everyone's a local, depending on where you're from The girls from the town walked up to my house one night As the buried sun slowly went down Their clothes were the shouting of pathos in moonlight I felt shame and slowly looked down Pleasure has a pretty face Helplessness voices and salt-teary taste But true pleasure has no eyes And how could I see now? Where would I be now? Would I be free now without those eyes? Us children were raised in hills that are landlocked But we hear the sounds of out of view waves The logs that were stacked against the house clanked and they knocked But the wind is trying to behave Innocence was lost on the most And is now washed away like our burial coast But not all the sand can leave you too soon And what could I count on? What could I count on? What could I count on, if I can't trust our dune? They're calling our lives from the North hidden waters They're calling our lives from the South, East, and West They're calling our lives out like half-broken daughters When terror arrives to their sharp-bitten chest This ain't the only damned town I've been in This ain't the only lifetime I've run thin The sky is a liar that I aim to steal 'Cause I'm just a local I'm just a local I'm just a local, thirsting for something real
