Times like these Lyrics

Times like these Lyrics

A young girl give me a good luck charm.
Put a snake on my neck and a bird on my arm.
Got one good leg æ…¶ause the other went South.
Got a brand new crutch and a brand new mouth.

I got a sheriff抯 name branded where I should have kept clean.
If you get too close you抮e going to know what I mean.
And I know when I抦 old the only runnin?gonna come.
Away from lips and the fork of my tongue.

It only gets to me in times like these.
And times like these are getting to me.

Put your hand in the oven there抯 a heaven inside.
It burns straight through but the devil don抰 mind.
Because he takes what he wants and he finds what you hide.
And it will buy you a place on the Lower East Side.

I rolled a number last night and I walked in my sleep.
I could feel all the nerves in the tips of my teeth.
As they crumbled into dust and washed into the sea.
Finally shut my mouth so I could hear myself think.

It only gets to me in times like these.
It only gets to me in times like these.
It only gets to me in times like these.
And times like these are getting to me.
