"Nimble Bastard"



Has it come to this?

We're stuck in the weeds

I get it, I'm not perfect, I was never trying to be

But I'm not long for this earth

If we really only ever get one chance to burn

I gotta trip before I can see the finish

How else would I learn?

I wanna know, how is it you do it?



When you land on your feet

You're a nimble bastard

And you don't skip a beat

Such a nimble bastard

Salt of the earth

Such a nimble bastard

Yeah, won't you show, lowly us

How do you see the stars from that far down?



I swing and I miss

And then come the creeps

It makes me want to faint

I wanna know, how is it you do it?

How do you spill the paint?

And then fit it into a frame?



When you land on your feet

Has it come to this?

Has it come to this?



When you land on your feet

You're a nimble bastard

And you don't skip a beat

Such a nimble bastard

Salt of the earth

Look out

Won't you show, lowly us

How do you see the stars from that far down?

You're a nimble bastard

Salt of the earth

Such a nimble bastard

Salt of the earth

You're such a nimble bastard

Yeah, won't you show, lowly us

How do you see the stars?
