Ice Cream

  • Paint me in a corner like they do across the street
    hang me like a secret like a stone wall in Belle Meade
    I don’t think that anyone knows where I live
    they don’t like the taste of my name burning on their lips
    so give me light when we come apart
    give me rye on the streets after dark
    and I’ll give you ice cream for a penny
    and sugar in the backroom it’s so good for the soul
    another something you can run to
    I guess we’re all bought and sold
    he is just a stranger to the gospel and the weed
    a shadow in the corner of what we say that we believe
    we use to kiss in graveyards under skies of midnight blue
    now he’s just another key for turning from the truth
    so give me the steel of a gun
    give me iron in your eyes when you run
    and I’ll give you ice cream for a penny
    and sugar in the backroom it’s so good for the soul
    another something you can run to
    I guess we’re all bought and sold
    remember when you said hello sure seemed nice
    candy in the window couldn’t help but catch your eye
    now I know you’re all the same so full of goodbye
    but you keep on coming back one more one more one more time
    so give me light when we come apart
    give me rye on the streets after dark
    and I’ll give you ice cream for a penny Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
