lyrics

Jar of Gin

My hand was on the gate when something made me hesitate
You held up a jar of gin, a gray-gold ring within it
I said, hey, wait a minute, let me see that there
I was in the basement for a long while,
I forgot about the light, forgot about the light
Counting coal and old reflections

You built a palace on the sand in a desolate land
you gotta break to create, dig a pool for the skate boards
or mosquito hordes will take it back
You were in the basement for a long while,
You forgot about the light, forgot about the light
Just smoke and mirrors

Running out by the water there’s nothing more to alter
My mind is getting old, my face is what I hold up
I say let it roll up all around us now
We were in the basement for a long while,
We forgot about the light, forgot about the light
And we broke the jar of gin but it’s all right
