We both had twenty-nine days to come to an armistice or issue a threat
We both had twenty-nine days to figure out something that we didn’t quite get
They gave you more than one chance to have driven for a living
And we’d easily have parted
At low-end density there’s the propensity
To boomerang back to the place where this started
Sometimes you gotta take it all with a grain of assault and tighten your armor
Somеtimes you gotta fight back with a poisonous snake and a virulent charmеr
I gave you twenty-nine days to pick up a pistol
And take me out back
You can sometimes take all the medicine, and even if you’re reticent
Choke on the Ipecac
I gave you twenty-nine days to rip off the tourniquet and see if it bleeds
I gave you twenty-nine days to check on the houseplant and see what it needs
Here we are on a hill above town, wondering which side we should run down
One’s blue and one side’s brown
One side run, and one side drown
