lyrics

I had my minute or two of grace before I lost it
You got your bootstraps and got plenty of pills
I had my minute or two of grace before I lost it
You keep saying it’s all a matter of will
I had my minute or two of grace before I lost it
ya youThink you’re smarter than anyone
I had my minute or two of grace before I lost it
The oracle says it’s almost now still
I had my minute or two of grace

I used to think I knew what I was doing
I was driving myself down the road to ruin

What out there could make it hot in here
Take the wheel just a minute I can't see to steer
Barking mad and raised by wolves
you think you’re so slick you’re just a bunch of shills

If I went to Sweden
If I went to hell
And if made it back alive
I'd have some stories to tell

You could go to New Orleans
You could go to France
You could pass through Houston baby
And maybe give me a chance

I used to think I knew what I was doing
I was driving myself down the road to ruin

I had my minute or two of grace

I used to think I knew what I was doing
I was driving myself down the road to ruin

Finding the thread that leads from The Cars to The Beastie Boys to Van Halen to Prayers, he tells a long, beautiful, cross-cultural, multi-generational story. Hollier’s band King Ropes is doing much the same thing. ... more
