The Wondersmith And His Sons - Astronautalis

I am a soldier baby who works just like a slave
Sweating through the pain of digging his foxhole
That he know is just a grave
You trust me don't you baby you'd hand your life to me
Let's walk along the wire and watch the muzzles flash like lightning
Emmm ah smile safe crackers understand
Is rendering this steady hand obsolete
You thought you caught my sleight of hand
But you could never understand no not me
Father was a charming man with much hidden up his sleeve
I wonder if this is what he planned
When he taught his tricks to me
The youngest was a clever boy cracking calculus by three
The eldest was impractical and obsessively clean
Then methere was
I was born a charming man with silver tongue pearl teeth
This's never how it's s'posed to end
We were promised all we'd dream
The envy of the everyman our family seemed complete
Our father was a charming man our mother a sirene
But now I'm on the run again this hotel's home to me
They found the other skeleton face down in the stream
The youngest was still tucked in bed
That way they thought he was asleep
They moved the mirror from his mouth
The fog that should remain was not to be seen
Not to be seen
I am the doctor darling who used to operate
But I couldn't stand the pain of healing
Only t'watch another woman waste away
You trust me don't you baby
Yeah you'd hand your life to me let's set this barn on fire
And watch the flames eat up the roof beams
A smile safe crackers understand is rendering this steady hand
Obsolete you thought I must have broken in
But there's no crime in coming in they hand me the key
Floating on the wind again on the tail of my quarry
On a woman weak for charming men who's holding what I need
She'll leave her window cracked for me
And I'll draft in like a breeze
My father was a charming man and I learned it all from he
The brothers born of wondersmith we started as a team
Like complimenting cogs and gears we built a head of steam
The tragic flaw of charming men is exactly as it seems
Too much grease can break down a machine
Pour another round on me pour another round on me
You know I'm good for it you know me
You know I'm good for it you know my family
I am a lover lady who sees just what you dream
I know you're going crazy living with him an' without me
You trust me don't you baby
Yeah you'd hand your life to me let's leave this life tonight
And race the sunrise down the highway
A smile safe crackers understand
Is rendering this steady hand obsolete
The charm and confidence of men
Can jam the bullets in your gun and stop heartbeats
