about

Produced by Harrison Fine. Recorded at FINE Productions in Kensington Market, Toronto.

lyrics

I busted my leg up just outside of the station
And I crawled into Jennys bar
Where they asked me for my identification
I showed them my factory mark
There was a hooded figure underneath the streetlamp
Man, I always thought I’d die on the farm
Where we’ve changed all the seasons, & blessed our reasons
Now there ain’t no snow in the yard

But I can’t keep my mind so tame anymore
Can’t keep the dots ‘tween the lines
And I can’t trust myself with the rain anymore
So I stay in the shed to keep dry
But I can’t stand the sound of the rattle on the tin
So I saddle up to battle with the night
And I can’t be bothered with the odds no longer
So I’m rolling with a crooked die

A big ol’ dreamer from a little ol’ town
On the northside of highway 9
A little ol’ town where big ol’ dreamers
Take their big ol’ dreams to lie
When I left behind that little ol’ town
With a mind on the big city time
& chinese food & dive barrooms & litter
& sounds & lights

But I can’t keep my mind so tame anymore
Can’t keep the dots ‘tween the lines
And I can’t trust myself with the rain anymore
So I stay in the shed to keep dry
But I can’t stand the sound of the rattle on the tin
So I saddle up to battle with the night
And I can’t be bothered with the odds no longer
So I’m rolling with a crooked die
