Chicago Piano - Jawbox

Show me one good paper guarantee

Oh my sweet promissory

Stern old men make a bed for me

I’m more than ready

One more confirmation of a new low

But I’m wired shut, just say so

Got word when the light passed through

I’m more than ready

To give it back

To give it back

Tight fist around a face out of history

Don’t think I don’t know what’s over me

Over me with a numbing certainty

I’m more than ready

To give it back

To give it back

One more confirmation of a new low

But I’m wired shut, just say so

Got word when the light passed through

I’m more than ready

To give it back

To give it back

Duty bound to a guilt-fed guarantee

Good faith in the narrow path laid for me

Past time to declare sovereignty

I’m more than ready

To give it back

To give it back
