She used to walk along the water dip her right foot down low She used to feel how the current flow Its a wave its up and it goes down undertow Oh its a feeling that she knows It comes and it goes Just like a dime you’re on a roll I like things With dents and dings And guitar strings That sway and swing I’ll kick my shoes off And cuss if I lose Ohhhh I… I ain’t broken I’m patina Theres only so many circles you can swing around the sun And I seem to be towing the load for fun Oh so hitch me up forget the brake lights fire the gun I’m racing forward like I’m on the run It comes and it goes Just like a dime you're on a roll I like things With dents and dings guitar strings That sway and swing I’ll kick my shoes off And cuss if I lose Ohhhh I… I ain’t broken I’m patina I like things With dents and dings guitar strings That sway and swing I’ll kick my shoes off And cuss if I lose Ohhhh I… I ain’t broken I’m patina

Well you like the swinging doors Just like you like to swing around Because it all looks the same The coming in, the walking out If you’re looking then you’re finding And you’re found you run away Because you want something profound But you ain’t up for the wait But saving face gets tiring and words are backfiring And you’ve ran out of things you can say And games are transpiring you crossed up the wiring And that smoke screen is starting to fade And people say that theres a price that you pay if you keep on fooling around One board will fix the leak And one nail will fix the lean And one night on the town makes you queen of the scene and you climbed to the peak but you missed all the trees if you flirt with the edge you will fall to your knees And shots are misfiring and crowds are conspiring And you still think your cuts they don’t bleed Deals are expiring and nobodys hiring And you still think that nobody sees And people say that theres a price that you pay if you keep on fooling around Set the place on fire Throw the match to your feet Sit there and admire The rubble that you leave And People say that theres a price that you pay if you keep on fooling around Keep on fooling around Keep on fooling around Keep on fooling around

They say don’t you go judge a book by its cover People might surprise you won't you take it easy brother But there ain’t no surprise in the shady situations You keep talking sly while you’re feeling desperation They say give some slack trust a for a while Don’t you know you give an inch they're gonna take a mile Fool me once they tell me that the blame is on you But I feel it in my gut so it is on me too Another hand stretched out before me Doesn’t repetition get rather boring? I can let go but trusts another story Too many words and the scene is getting gory If this ain’t true then flag me as a false Don’t you tell me the game show me how you walk It ain’t that I want to lose you But no one in their right mind would ever choose you I ain’t trying to ride an anchor as its dragging bottom I ain’t trying to trade for riches if you haven’t got them I ain’t trying to throw you a rope If you think dragging me down is just one big joke I ain’t trying to dirty my hands with intentions that are rotten

When I go back out Into the city Don’t leave me breadcrumbs I’ll take them all with me Don’t leave me roses Cause they’ll be too pretty When I go back out into the city When I go back out If it goes poorly I want you to know that I miss you sorely Theres no intention Theres just the story And if it suits you, you tell it for me I’ve got a black coat It hangs in my closet Its got cigarette stains And holes in the pockets It hasn’t come out Since I threw the white flag But my hanger hangs empty tonight When I go back out The back roads of Cleveland Drive a few blocks As I’m thinking about leaving End up out front With a smile and a reason Under the spell of what I’ve been believing When I go back out Its not about losing I have not chosen The path I am using There ain’t no end If I just keep moving And I’ve had no say over what I’ve been doing I’ve got a black coat It hangs in my closet Its got cigarette stains And holes in the pockets It hasn’t come out Since I threw the white flag But my hanger hangs empty tonight And I won’t be empty tonight
