lyrics

trace the southern line / inches down your back
couldn’t read the signs / prepared for an attack
one-two-three-four-five / balled into a fist
solitary crime / automatic grip

taken for a bride / mistaken for a wife
how can you be straight at ‘the crooked knife’?
who is there to drive? / everyone is pissed
solitary crime / automatic grip

poaching on the left / encroaching on the right
we’ve got you surrounded every single night
baby on the run / baby on your hip
solitary crime / automatic grip

california rain / will it ever come?
i see you spend your days staring at the sun
water from the eyes / water from the wrist
solitary crime / automatic grip

never even knew / never even tried
what is there to do when your lover dies?
everything is fine / take another sip
solitary crime / automatic grip
