Jetplane Landing - Cheapskate Tricks For Worn Down People Lyrics
I want power of attorneyI need power of attorneyBeen worn down by all your cheapskate tricksWorn down by all your cheapskate tricksJean Rhys promised me that ringSo why are you wearing it at this funeral?In this heatAt this barbequeYou of all JudasesWhy did it have to be you?I guess it was because you wereThe hardestThe fittestThe chosen oneI only saw you one last timeYou climbed into a blacked out carGold BootsGlass HouseBad HexTeenage TeethIt all came too late for youWould you choose to be happy or me?Maniacs hid in the mangrovesConvinced they were made of ivory hateWithin hoursDecrees thunderedThey were solely made of white ambitionDominica was savagely cruelIts cafés as hot as iceFilled with lazy, rich bohemiansIn the vast colonial hot nightThe settlement the mob made was harshAll shook on it with palpable gleeDamned magic, ex-slaversAll screaming to be pardoned and freeEverywhere this scumbag family’s beenAll we’d bring was evil sexFuneral tears and mass betrayals
