Tums Lyrics

We’re out of cigarettes? Shit
I mean, you still don’t have that [ ] ?

Tums

I got drunk last night and I carved your name into my arm
In an act so stupid, clumsy and desperate, I guess I fancied myself a poet
And you, you just bubble up to the top as I was sinking down
You just bubble up to the top as I was sinking down
Sinking down, sinking, sinking down

The night is an unbearable condition, their whole calendar is in split seconds
So I cut off my toenails, drop them into an empty beer can
And [I shimmer of to the south], to the [ ]
I remember when you smiled to [win] the mystery
I guess congratulations are in order, I finally made you pity me, pity me

You’re moving away, nothing can keep live from you
So come and kiss the coast, love, the ocean is pure
And to think I mistook you for a wandering Jew
Till you said, “The early worm gets the bird, boy
The early worm gets the bird
The early worm gets the bird, you think I could settle for you”

All the potholes in my logic have accumulated in my pocket
[Somehow], now I get hard as a rock, I know I’ve lost another argument
I used to circumvent your [sure] victories [with] simply withholding my charm
That’s a [new] [ ] [upon] me, now you stand engraved in my arm

Regret is like a dirty paw you keep licking even after you realize
Your dog [is] just looking [at] you stranded in this Hank Williams song
I’ve been crying so much, I got to be lonesome
You’re marching off to the side of your own drama
Find this hangover [tum-tum-tum tums]
Well, you just bubble up to the top whenever I sink down
Sink, sink down, sinking, sinking down

You’re moving away, now nothing can keep live from you
He said, “Come and kiss the ocean, love, the coast is clear

And the thing I mistook you for a wandering Jew
To think I mistook you for a wandering Jew
Till you said, “The early worm gets the bird, boy
The early worm gets the bird
The early worm gets the bird, boy
The early worm gets the bird
The early worm gets the bird, boy
The early worm gets the bird
The early worm gets the bird, you think I could settle for you”
