Nimble Bastard

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Has it come to this? We're stuck in the weeds I get it, I'm not perfect I was never trying to be But I'm not long for this earth If we really only ever get one chance to burn I gotta trip before I can see the finish How else would I learn? I wanna know, how is it you do it? [Chorus] When you land on your feet, you're a nimble bastard And you don't skip a beat, such a nimble bastard Salt of the earth, a nimble bastard Won't you show lowly us, how do you see the stars from that far down? [Verse 2] I swing and I miss And then come the creeps It makes me want to faint I wanna know, how is it you do it? How do you spill the paint? And then fit it into a frame? [Chorus] When you land on your feet, you're a nimble bastard And you don't skip a beat, such a nimble bastard Salt of the earth, a nimble bastard Yeah, won't you show lowly us, how do you see the stars from that far down? [Instrumental Break] [Bridge] Has it come to this? Has it come to this? [Chorus] When you land on your feet, you're a nimble bastard And you don't skip a beat, such a nimble bastard Salt of the earth, look out Won't you show lowly us, how do you see the stars from that far down? [Outro] You're a nimble bastard (Salt of the earth) Such a nimble bastard (Salt of the earth) You're a nimble bastard Yeah, won't you show lowly us, how do you see the stars? Ah-ha
