For James - Work Drugs

Leave the children they don’t know better

sticks and stones from lace and leather

cleaning out the sand between the sheets

Cold sober frowns, you’re older now

listen to the warning

Is it colder on the inside (crooked house)

is it colder on the inside (needles pound)

is it colder on the inside (crooked how?)

is it colder on the inside?

hold on to me

Shed your bones, there’s always marrow to keep afloat

grind your teeth for quid between the sleeves

Leave a note for the untamed spirits

moving up north, I’m your outer limit

21 degrees will keep you clean

Is it colder on the inside (crooked house)

is it colder on the inside (needles pound)

is it colder on the inside (crooked how?)

is it colder on the inside?

hold on to me

Let me be

hold on to what we leave between

Just hold on to me
