Rule of the Spoon

from Every Bug Wants To Live by Matt Oleksa

/

lyrics

The rain beats down upon the tin
Roof and runs down and in
Oak barrels like a babbling stream
What Jack calls rain, Jane calls a dream

I was a bandit you know
But now I fold the clothes
Be nice to me
Be nice to me
And I’ll be nice to you

Through the keyhole, candlelight
Flickers and trembles all through the night
He sings Irene as she sharpens knives
The cats around here got a thousand lives

I was a bandit you know
But now I fold the clothes
Be nice to me
Be nice to me
And I’ll be nice to you

The sad blue glow of another dawn
Cut ‘cross the hills, spilled over the lawn
Bottle caps, cigarettes in a Tonka truck
What Jane calls junk, Jack calls good luck

I was a bandit you know
But now I fold the clothes
Be nice to me
Be nice to me
And I’ll be nice to you
