Letra de Blackout Sam
That winter we were dealin' With unrest in the interior Careful when they mention local legends He was down there in the trenches She was holdin' down home office Still in constant correspondenceBlackout Sam has got credentials He keeps flashing them as laminate He keeps scratchin' at his neck The general made a gesture of contrition The law of averages says somethin's gotta give We were stuck up in survival mode You were twistin' on the telephone Givin' blankets and aisles to that one persistent kidBlackout Sam don't have the answers He keeps wakin' up on parkin' ramps He could never find his keysNow promise me you won't forget The nights that haven't happened yet Separate the smoke from all the cinders Put another sticker on the van The carpet at the party house Tear it up and take it out Somebody should check on Blackout SamWhile we stood there at the service With her hand up on my should We could feel like every single thing Push the pill right through the foil And check the engine, change the oil Spent the summer, wishin' it was springThey sent another man to sing the anthem But the monitor malfunctioned And he couldn't find the keyAlways tried to take it so much further Spinnin' like a sparrow through the spire Ingested every offering Tried to make it interesting Cut up and consumed what we desiredTake a little comfort, it's just thunder Put another sticker on the van Now that it's a haunted house Break the lease and empty out Somebody should check on Blackout Sam Somebody should check on Blackout SamDropped out of school but he still went to church He was a friend of mine, I hope it didn't hurt Cried when he died, but tonight it felt worse Snuff out your smoke and pour your drink in the dirtLocal legends with the faraway eyes I wanna make you feel protected and high If you're in the city and while you're still alive I wanna make you feel protected and highLocal legends with the faraway eyes I wanna make you feel protected and high
