Brother Mind (ft. Daniel Franks)

from The Watering Hole Stories by Jonny Luck

lyrics

The same crowd pours in almost every night each week
They've got little plaques above their chairs, they shine before they take their seats
And the tenderest of chemists, mixes up their drinks
He knows all of their doses, keeps them docile, lights a cigarette, and in slinks
Brother Mind, two hours short of closing time
He's sober of the booze, but not the buzz inside his coked up mind, he
Tells them he's a realist, got some letters wrong
He could break your little heart, leave you torn apart for so damn long

Like the shot before the chaser, like the last one for the road
Here's hoping you can taste it, don't be another story he's over told
He's over told
Don't be another story he's over told

He greets them with a smile, wipes the sweat drops from his brow
Takes his greasy little palms, paws their lower backs and asks if he can sit down
The dirtiest of thoughts, surge through his head
He clings on to his youth, leaves you used, bare and left for dead,
But there's a glint in his dark brown eyes,
That has you lost in yesteryear, when daddy didn't always seem to lie
Calls you dearest darling, doesn't mean a thing
Takes your little heart, convinces you he's more than a fling

Brother Mind needs no soul to soldier on,
Take all the pretty little things he says to you with a little pinch of salt, none of it is true
Slippery serpent rustling through your grass
Now you've been bitten, now you're smitten, you'll be another thing he leaves in the past
