You Know Me Better - J. Roddy Walston & The Business

I am a histamine

Wet wound in the Vaseline

I have kissed the ring

On hands that seem too big to bleed

They’re gonna kill the man who put the fork in the road

Gonna put it back

Now there’s one way to go

Jesus and Mary, oh, mother, help me, God

I asked you for a vision

Now I’m asking, «turn it off»

You know me better than I know myself

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

You know me better than I know myself

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

You can’t help me now

You can’t help yourself

I told you everything

There’s nothing left to tell

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

You know me better than I know myself

Advance and retreat

Dead tongues and dead meat

There’s gold in the seam

There’s milk in the tracks

Legal teens bundled up and cached

I held the hand that fed me

But now it makes me sick

There’s no generation

Everybody quit

These are millennial loads in my veins

Diabetic wounds pumping soft bits of pain

You know me better than I know myself

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

You know me better than I know myself

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

You can’t help me now

You can’t help yourself

I told you everything there’s nothing left to tell

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

You know me better than I know myself

I feel safe and sorry but we’re neither, are we?

Let me in or let me out

Rotten fruit and babies

That’s the way you paid me

Take your blessing off my house

Isolate and save me

How could you replace me?

Tell me that and kiss my mouth

You know me better than I know myself

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

You know me better than I know myself

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

If you could see me now

If I could see myself

If it wasn’t me it’d be somebody else

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

You know me better than I know myself

I don’t have to think

I think it’s just as well

You know me better than I know myself
