Sage Advice Songtext

von Giant Sand

Son let me tell, I've got something to say
And don't confuse me with some lonely man
Trying to be nice. These words I give ya
Can take you a far away... sage advice,
Like my teacher taught me. So I'll
Leave to you like it was written
On the original burning page.
I've only ever spoken it aloud twice...
And once was in a rage...sage advice,
Ahh, we can burn

Chorus

Ahh, we can turn
We struggle to live, we live to love
...but if we fail to learn.

A blackened tree decides to save me.
Up I climb unto branches entwined.
A scream. A scare. "Is anyone else
Still out there?"
You can call it a dream, whatever it
May seem, a hallucination derived from
Too much wine, rage and spice. But I
Keep it with all my things...sage advice

Chorus

Now you can cry over the loss
Of a woman...or a house
Absent of children, you can cry
If your cupboard's devoid of
Bread, milk and rice. You can
Cry, cry, cry. Or you can
Hold your head up high...
With sage advice.

Chorus

I've lived my life, only taking
One wife no need to ask where we've
Been nor what we've been up to.
Every town's the same, every girl a game
I could never again "love" after you.
Now it's a quarter to 3 (a.m.) nothing's
Worrying me 'cept that old weight of the
World.
Just staring att he door, like there was
Someone I was waiting for...like that
Original save the world girl.
