Mister Shivers

from Street Life by BANNISTER VOID

/

lyrics

1.
I can't believe they even really see me
I wonder if they even see at all
I don't want no sympathy from blank slates
I'd rather have insurance when I fall

I'm steppin' at ya just like at the bullfight
Cuz that's the way I learned it anyway
I'm graceful and anemic at the same time
Only she, knew what to say - hey hey

CHORUS:
They call me dead and gone today
Ain't got nothin' left good to say
Call me dead and gone today, oh oh ohh
They call me Mister Shivers
Oh Yeah
I'm Mister Shivers
Oh yeah

2.
Just like every pilot with a heartbreak
Shuffling down any old street
Just like every teacher with a mean streak
Wondering if they got her beat

I feel like the wind is still against me
I'm nervous all alone or in a crowd
Nobody wants to hear my nightmares
I'll stay in my cage, where I'm allowed

CHORUS

3.
I hide myself from every prying eyeball
You can tell my story if you like
On Friday night I love to hear the roll call
Of anyone who had the balls to fight

I feel like the wind is still against me
Nobody knows which way to go
I can't tell, who's really spring fed
I'm easy to fool, at least I know

CHORUS
