Run, Brother, Run

The television turns mouths and words Don't line up like they should The hard concrete, while I'm stuck on The blood stain in there and where it came from Coffee cups collect at the side of my bed Red pins pushed through the places I've been I tie em together with a string The pattern just tells me, "Go to sleep" I should go to sleep I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right I share my name with a stranger all my life And I feel it all Carolina in my blood Run, brother, run I was twenty-five when my dad died My arms felt weak, my heart grew tired And every girl I try to kiss Gives that look you did so I choose to miss Found the greatest book wait to the end In those last lines you'll find my friends Like flies on tape, I keep them close We may look dead but move our toes I'm getting used to my skin but it doesn't fit right I share my name with a stranger all my life And I feel it all Carolina in my blood Run, father, run I keep your things in my garage I won't drive away I feel it all Carolina in my blood Run, brother, run
