Two Crackers Lyrics

I have borrowed many a footstep from the graveyard

And stepped inside the heels of treasured time

They served me right just like an engine at a train yard

Pushing me further down that railroad line

All that I've had to eat today were two crackers

One was salty; the other was free of salt

It serves me right; I always knew I was a slacker

But whatever I haven't done, it's not my fault

As the fortress of my nightmares starts to crumble

An the open wounds of childhood start to bleed

The weeds that haunt my waking hours won't tumble

And it's hard to know just where they're going to lead

All that I've had to eat today were two crackers

One was salty; the other was free of salt

It serves me right; I always knew I was a slacker

But whatever I haven't done, it's not my fault

I've gambled with a thousand men and women

It's the price I had to pay for feeling free

They were friends of mine when my head was wild and swimming

Without answers to the place it ought to be

All that I've had to eat today were two crackers

One was salty; the other was free of salt

It serves me right; I always knew I was a slacker

But whatever I haven't done, it's not my fault

I can't heal my heart; I can't free my guilty conscience

I can't give you love that you can't take away

If all these rhyming words sound like nonsense

That's exactly what they are, and you love me anyway
