Jenny Lewis

I went to a copper 
to fix a hole in my shoe 
he took one look at my face and said 
"I can fix that hole in you." 
I beg your pardon, I'm not looking for a cure 
I've seen enough from my friends 
in the depths of the Godsick blues 

You know I am a liar 
You know I am a liar 
Nobody helps a liar 

'Cause I've been down to Dixie 
and dropped acid on my tongue 
dripped upon the land til enough was enough 
I was a little bit lighter and 
adventure on my sleeve 
I was a little drunk and looking for company 
So I found myself a sweetheart 
with the softest of hands 
we were unlucky in love but I'd do it all again 

we built ourselves a fire 
we built ourselves a fire 
you know I am a liar 
you know I am a liar 

and you don't know what I've done 

and by the rollin' river 
is exactly where I was 
there was no snake or cure for unlucky in love 
to be lonely is a habit 
like smoking or taking drugs 
and I've quit them both 
but man, was it rough 

and now I am tired 
it just made me tired 
let's build ourselves a fire 
let's build ourselves a fire
