In The Tall Grass
Astronautalis

Baby tell me anything that you please

I'll take it all with a grain of salt

I know exactly why you're calling me

I don't even need to hear you talk

Daddy told me always watch my feet

When walking where the weeds grow too tall

And I can tell that you're lying to me

By the fork at the end of your tongue

The end of your tongue


I been up all night waiting for you to come home

Come up with a good reason

I been up all night knowing you gone and done wrong

I know you're lying cause you're speaking

Go on keep on praying to your god above

He knows the devil when he sees him

He only putting bills in your own swear jar

He won't buy you no freedom


Careful brother the grass grows awful high here

Ain't no telling what's dwelling or hides near

The former felon don't always appear in Nike Airs

With right eye that might cry only tattoo tears

Now, real killers don't kick down doors

The dangerous ones are ones you invite in your own home


So while you busy blowing and chanting

Turn around clown the night gown of the serpent is waiting

Got you in a death hold that won't let go

And you're quick to thank him

Stiletto ain't just a shoe but a knife it is dangerous

Brother I bet you you just slow

And you think you can change it

But a snake is still a snake even if it shed its skin daily


I know you listening lady

Yeah you been keeping tabs on me lately

Crawled out your rock the moment I made it

With apologetic talk obama promising changes


I been up all night waiting for you to come home

Come up with a good reason

I been up all night knowing you gone and done wrong

I know you're lying cause you're speaking

Go on keep on praying to your god above

He knows the devil when he sees him

He only putting bills in your own swear jar

He won't buy you no freedom
