When the night sun stops tryin'
If it dims without fightin'
In a chorus of midnight
Dark flowers from the shadows
Like the ladies from Houston
Walk into my house
Drink coffee and talk softly
Drink wine and speak loud
Back at me
Got a full ring of keys again
Now that I've
Got a full ring of keys again
Thirty years paid in disdain
As I rented the room
That my ghost became
Yeah she raised me like I was her own flesh and blood
And she came when I cried and I wasn't embarrassed
Well I knew enough Spanish to interpret eschew
As an on confrontation when it's quickly removed and lifted
Got a full ring of keys again
I have got a full ring of keys again
Time is a feral cat's prowl
Blind and lost to the faith
Without fear or doubt
Sig stepped in the quicksand
And it's not like you think
Sig waited with commitment
But he didn't start sinking
Said, "I'd fallen in line, and a few times in love
And I've raised my voice at folks, I thought I was above
Like a fool."
Got a full ring of keys again
Now that I've
Got a full ring of keys again
Scratching glyphs into the glass
Of the men's room mirror
To reflect my wrath
Uncle Marty was troubled
At least that's what I heard
And now he's dead or in prison
He's gone but not missin'
But I remember the birthmark
The speedy tattoo
And the words that he chose
And the way his lips moved to make them
Got a full ring of keys again
I've got a full ring of keys again
Nothing lies further from truth
Than the words from the one
Who says solace soon
What's the purpose if there is one?
For this televised demon?
But a sadness I feel
When he pollutes the screen
Pour the beer in the fridge
Which has halfway been tasted
That I put to my lips so it doesn't get wasted or drank
Got a full ring of keys again
I've got a full ring of keys again
