Bread and Butter

from Ferris Wheel by Shiny and the Spoon

lyrics

Hey babe the sun ain’t out for cryin’
I know it’s not the Golden Age
Send all your worries in a letter
Write on and find a better page

And all the bars they look like clutter
I can’t remember where we are
We held our hands bread and butter
We found a diner by a star

Some day’s a whine and some a holler
Some birds go down some eat the crow
Beyond the hope’s a tired daughter
Beyond the last length of her rope

This whole town is a rail yard
Screams as steel brakes on steel
But there’s no sound in the bell jar
Just the turning of the reel
