Aaron Comess - Shinbone Alley Hard To Exist Lyrics

[Part 1: Shinbone Alley]

[Verse 1]
Moonlight through the chicken wire, humming window pane
Lukewarm water gasping down a rusty drain
Big town's in need of mending, street lights make tooth some seams
Denim shadows shuffle in between the beams

[Chorus]
Different strokes for different folks so
Mind your manners, easy on the ethnic jokes
It's a dumbbell curve, you're trying to tally
All the way down to shin bone alley

[Verse 2]
Streets are made of carpets and flesh of asphalt calm
Buildings rise like fingers from a concrete palm
Yellow lit apartment trickle through the drapes
Windows frame each history hidden even from the fire escapes
Sullen winter sparrow lends wing to expanse of grey
Six-thirty-two in the morning on Thanksgivings day
And the bums, they hit their corners, the thunder bird rubs their bones
And the crack addicts stare at the snowflakes zigzagging down to greet Jones

[Chorus]
Different strokes for different folks so
Mind your manners, easy on the ethnic jokes
It's a dumbbell curve, you're trying to tally
All the way down to shin bone alley
[Instrumental Break]

[Verse 3]
Seventy-two on the same day, your bare feet sweep the parquet
And the light so papery white, it slipped past the microwave
Knuckles to eyeballs and elbows on the table
Spend the day gazing from the window gable

[Chorus]
Different strokes for different folks so
Mind your manners, easy on the ethnic jokes
It's a dumbbell curve, you're trying to tally
All the way down to shin bone alley

[Instrumental Break]

[Part 2: Hard to Exist]

[Segue]

[Verse 1]
You know how I tend to feel when nothing's happenin'
That some big old birds so fat that they just can't fly
But people made are to be overreacting
My body hurts like hell, and all I can do is wonder why
[Chorus]
Like a man in prison
I'm occupied with bustin' out
I'm in no position
Said "What are these walkin' truths about?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Verse 2]
Hey Mary, come play with me, please forget your lessons
A big talk with Captain Hook and with cutlasses that play
Oh, got 'em meetin' you and me, we get along fine
Down on the beach in the fresh air with a jug of wine

[Chorus]
Like a man in prison
I'm occupied with bustin' out
I'm in no position
Said "What are these walkin' truths about?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Guitar Solo]

[Bridge]
Oh yeah, I commit to be infected
Oh yeah, point me in the right direction
This situation has got the best of me
I've got to go on, you know I've got to be strong
But it's hard to exist
[Verse 2]
Hey Mary, come play with me, please forget your lessons
A big talk with Captain Hook and with cutlasses that play
Oh, got 'em meetin' you and me, we get along fine
Down on the beach in the fresh air with a jug of wine

[Chorus]
Like a man in prison
I'm occupied with bustin' out
I'm in no position
Said "What are these walkin' truths about?"
Yeah, yeah, yeah

[Interlude]
Hard
Hard to exist, oh
Oh, hard to exist in here, yeah
Hard to exist, oh
Ho-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
Ho-oh-oh-oh
Hard to exist
Hard to
I just don't
Hard to exist, a-ha

[Instrumental Breakdown]

[Refrain]
Said it's hard
Hard to exist
Said it's hard, ah, hard
To exist
Said it's hard
Hard to exist
Hard to exist, oh
