A couple of months ago I was out drinking with an old friend of mine What did he say to me He said he'd like to curse his ex girlfriend just one time And that everyone's honest eventually A bunch of years ago I got taken By someone who said that shed get me stuff for free Lots of talk, sweet molasses backstage passes But everyone's honest eventually Summers gone again Watch the leaves in tonkin square Just cause nothing equals nothing Doesn't mean everything is fair I knew a guy who was trying hard to never lie He knew the bible a-to-z He prayed before bed at night And thought that he was living right But everyone's honest eventually A friend of mine in Brooklyn was doing heroin And then he told me that he'd gone clean It's all the same to me What you do with your body Everyone's honest eventually Fall is here again Watch the leaves in tonkin square Better put your mittens on I hear its getting cold out there I try to live my life just like I'd always pictured it Become my own self-fulfilling prophecy Set my sights low so I don't feel like I have far to go But everyone's honest eventually I had a girl who screwed around with someone else She let me know almost immediately And as soon as I found out I treated her like a broken toy and threw her out That's what she got for being honest Winters here again No more leaves in tonkin square Old men walk in circles They cant find me anywhere Sometimes when I meet new people I try too hard to be friendly Sometimes I try too hard to be cool They say its horrible to be living a lie But I've also heard it said that nothing is true Winter never came Ain't no more old men in tonkin square They say its horrible to live a lie Then they say that nothing is true What can you do if nothing is true? Just between me and you You're better off not thinking it through Not thinking it through

A couple of months ago
I was out drinking with an old friend of mine
What did he say to me
He said he'd like to curse his ex girlfriend just one time
And that everyone's honest eventually
A bunch of years ago I got taken
By someone who said that shed get me stuff for free
Lots of talk, sweet molasses backstage passes
But everyone's honest eventually
Summers gone again
Watch the leaves in tonkin square
Just cause nothing equals nothing
Doesn't mean everything is fair
I knew a guy who was trying hard to never lie
He knew the bible a-to-z
He prayed before bed at night
And thought that he was living right
But everyone's honest eventually
A friend of mine in Brooklyn was doing heroin
And then he told me that he'd gone clean
It's all the same to me
What you do with your body
Everyone's honest eventually
Fall is here again
Watch the leaves in tonkin square
Better put your mittens on
I hear its getting cold out there
I try to live my life just like I'd always pictured it
Become my own self-fulfilling prophecy
Set my sights low so I don't feel like I have far to go
But everyone's honest eventually
I had a girl who screwed around with someone else
She let me know almost immediately
And as soon as I found out
I treated her like a broken toy and threw her out
That's what she got for being honest
Winters here again
No more leaves in tonkin square
Old men walk in circles
They cant find me anywhere
Sometimes when I meet new people
I try too hard to be friendly
Sometimes I try too hard to be cool
They say its horrible to be living a lie
But I've also heard it said that nothing is true
Winter never came
Ain't no more old men in tonkin square
They say its horrible to live a lie
Then they say that nothing is true
What can you do if nothing is true?
Just between me and you
You're better off not thinking it through
Not thinking it through
great! kind of reminds me of bill callahan...
that's what you get for being honest
Fancy seeing you here lol
That'll teach her!
GUYS, THIS SONG.

Emily with flowers in her hair yes, actually not even because of this comment, but because leonard cohen died so i listened to chelsea hotel and then chelsea hotel oral sex song and then three mountain goats "going to" songs and now this. thanks for asking. lov.

fair enough Zachary
Jake Carroll is right. It's more punk to not be punk. It's not so hipster to be a hipster. And if one says they aren't the Messiah, they are.
