Nonfiction (Acoustic)

[Verse 1] I don't know my telephone number But you kiss good and I'd like to see you tomorrow I don't beg, babe, I pay, I don't barter And if I had a child, I'd like a son, not a daughter, oh no 'Cause she'd be just like you Someday, before I believe it Oh, we would believe the same as I do Yes, I do [Verse 2] Now, I'm no builder and I'm no gardener I'm singing songs as a friend who's a photographer There is no other language that I speak Some like their water shallow, while I like it deep So deep Yeah, baby, tied to the very bottom With a noose all around my feet [Chorus] Well, the clouds conspire Above my head I overheard them Say, "I wish he was dead" Today the sunset Well, it burned my eyes In the next room I hear someone cry [Instrumental Break] [Chorus] The clouds conspire Above my head I overheard them Say, "I wish he was dead" Today the sunset It burned my eyes In the next room I hear someone cry [Verse 4] I like to dress up like the jury To eat like a king, to poke fun at the clergy To talk like dirt, to love you like tar But never fall in too fast with my, my north star No, no, no All this time, you pull your hair out Why, why, why, I rather drink as some fun [Chorus] The clouds conspire Above my head I overheard them Say, "I wish he was dead" Today the sunset It burned my eyes In the next room I hear someone cry
