Shakey Graves – City In A Bottle lyrics
[Verse 1]
Well the cold has a hard time finding me
Unlike some folks I know
Yeah all the men down in Union Square
Are worried about the snow

[Bridge 1]
'Cause when your pockets fill with dollar bills your heart forgets to eat
It's a wicked thing, it owns this street

[Verse 2]
So fix your boots or take me home says quick Monique the freak
I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
If she was six teeth younger and I had half a mind
You know I'd carry her away from that wicked thing outside

[Verse 3]
Oh well I saw a carried bundle
That had fingers eyes and toes
As a father of deception
I have never raised a soul

[Bridge 2]
It's a purchase capture second hand and cherished more than gold
It's a shelter from the wicked thing that wanders in the night

[Verse 4]
Oh yeah so fix your boots or take me home says quick Monique the freak
Oh yeah I need an easy dollar are you trick or are you treat
Oh if she was six teeth younger and I had half a mind
You know I'd carry her away from that wicked thing outside

[Outro]
The water on the dirty streets has all but turned to ice
To pave the road for wicked things that wander in the night
