Cousin to Cousin
Rilo Kiley
Cousin to cousin and hand in hand
Pulled his piece from out the can
Took him off to show the cliff
Sailed him off and made his riff
As he arrived there seconds wait
Flipping through his only fate
Face that showed itself before
Was the cousin who wasn't a cousin no more
Purging the soul one drop at a time
Sipping on vintage T-Bird wine
Pull the cat from out the grave
Strung it up and watched it sway
As he stands without a twitch
Pondering the depth of that genius ditch
"I am personal people at all"
Said the voice of a man who was just three feet tall
Felon to felon and man to man
Desert screwed us, let's try it again
Took a dime for a next request
Lit a match, he did his best
As he watched his dreams all burn
Tension took a different turn
Boss' daughter passing by
Into the flames went the sweet Lorelei
That's what my daddy does!
That's what my daddy does!
But what about me
When it brings ???
That's what my daddy does!
That's what my daddy does!
But what about me?
What about me?
What about me?
Cousin to cousin and hand in hand
Oh, the tragic desert sand
Packed their looms and did set sail
And this is the end of this ghastly tale
