Bottom of the World

Coeur De Pirate

My daddy told me, lookin back,

The best friend you'll have is a railroad track

So when I was 13 I said, I'm rollin' my own

And I'm leavin' Missouri and I'm never comin' home

And I'm lost

And I'm lost

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Satchel Puddin' and Lord God Mose

Sitting by the fire with a busted nose

That fresh egg yeller is too damn rare

But the white part is perfect for slickin' down your hair

And I'm lost

And I'm lost

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Blackjack Ruby and Nimrod Cain

The moon's the color of a coffee stain

jesse Frank and Birdy Joe Hoaks

But who is the king of all these folks?

And I'm lost

And I'm lost

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Well I dined last night with Scarface Ron

On Telapia fish cakes and fried black swan

Razorweed onion and peacock squirrel

And I dreamed all night about a beautiful girl

And I'm lost

And I'm lost

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world.

Well God's green hair is where I slept last

He balanced a diamond on a blade of grass

Now I woke me up with a cardinal bird

And when I wanna talk

He hangs on every word

And I'm lost

And I'm lost

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world

I'm handcuffed to the bishop and the barbershop liar

And I'm lost at the bottom of the world
