Knack for Negligence

© 1995 by Eric Dahl

Take back the picture you drew of me
might need to start a fire
take back the fine clothes you threw at me
go build a bridge through the mire

I got a knack for negligence
a few facts from the past
that confuse me still
towering accidents
each accident an act of the will

Two different roads outta the city tonight
I used to think they’re the same
one from the dark goes straight to the light
the other’s an escape called takin the blame

You drew my eyes like I could see through walls
for a while I believed I could
what a bitter surprise when a woman find’s out
her lover’s eyes are made of wood.

If I could be your Jericho
and the walls came tumbling down
would you ignore my window with its scarlet cord
put my dreams all to the sword
and deny the killing ground?

I got a knack for negligence
a few facts from the past
that confuse me still
towering accidents
each accident an act of the will
I got a knack for negligence.
