lyrics

My shredder comes to me in the night
he says “Oh, I need a place to hide,
for I have come to you with a fight
and I have come to you
with my pride in my hand”

When we go skating in the night
troubles slip now out of sight
Always stop to put things right
this much of me I know you can rely

I’ll do what I can
Got my pride in my hand
gotta do what I can
with my pride in my hand

My girl & I went out one night
up pulled a car said “Get inside”
Now I can’t find her, where she hide?
Looked all over, how I tried

Years have passed, friends have died
Never found out where she’d hide
wonder as I sit inside
how she is and why’d she cut our ties

I’ll do what I can
Got my pride in my hand
gotta do what I can
with my pride in my hand

Tommy comes to me in the night
he says “Oh, I need a place to hide,
for I have come to you with a fight
and I have come to you
with my pride in my hand”

I’ll do what I can
Got my pride in my hand
gotta do what I can
with my pride in my hand

Gull Boy plays musical stories as Patti Smith once advised, going out on a thread, going over, then returning to tell the story
