Annie On The Flight Back To Texas

[Verse 1]
Look what you've gone and done
The money is all run out
You’re shaking in your doubt
What you gonna do now?
Look how your little finger trembles
You have been upended by your muse
You thought she was giving you the good stuff
You swear you were swimming it
But symmetry ain't so easy for you now
Oh you've forgotten how
To sing those old songs you used to know
And it’s all just a reminder that Calliope has left you
She's gone to join the other boys at the bar

[Chorus]
Why can't you just let the record play?
Remember how it used to come so easily to you
When you were younger
When you were younger

[Verse 2]
They turned off the lights in your apartment
But you keep a candle burning all the time
For Calliope
You pray that you can lure her from the grime
From the opiates
But you're letting all the cold in darling
Be careful now
You could always go back to San Antonio
Sit on your mother's porch
And wait for a dam to overflow

[Chorus]
Why can't you just let the record play?
Remember how it used to come so easily to you
When you were younger
When you were younger

[Bridge]
Don't be so fragile now
Just let the needle down
Don't be so fragile now
Just let the needle down
Don’t be so fragile now
Just let the needle down
Don’t be so fragile now
Just let the needle down
Don't be so fragile now
Just let the needle down
Don’t be so fragile now
Just let the

[Outro]
Why can't you just let the record play?
Remember how it used to come so easily when
You were younger like a liver overflowing
Reaching for your mother's hand
