Virtuoso

Where to go, I wouldn't know
I heard a call out west
Gold rush rotting in a copper pot
I could end up there, I guess

And though I cannot hold you close
Like a rose upon my chest
Hell, if I don't see you anymore
Doesn't mean I love you less

Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo

Two thumbs wavin' in the wind
I've got nothing you could buy
But I'll pump a little gasoline
If you get me there tonight

Tulane green, well, shame on me
If I show up underdressed
'Cause I always wear your borrowed things
Till I end up wearing less

Hey, tryna hold me down
Is like holdin' on to rain
I'm not an empty gun
I'm the bullet flyin' away

You gotta learn to leave
To remember why you stay
Letting go of what you hold
Holds you just the same

Veteran drummer, rookie clarinets
Salt the edge and suck the lime
Virtuous or a virtuoso
A parody or paradise?

I close my eyes and think of you
With that hammer around your chest
Just because I'd die to leave you here
Doesn't mean I love you less

Woo-hoo
Woo-hoo

Hey, tryna hold me down
Is like holdin' on to rain
I'm not an empty gun
I'm the bullet flyin' away

You gotta learn to leave
To remember why you stay
Letting go of what you hold
Holds you just the same

Time turns, it's turning me on
The more that I miss, the more that I want
Time turns, it's turning me on
I want you right back the moment I'm gone

Time turns, it's turning me on
The more that I miss, the more that I want
Time turns, it's turning me on
I want you right back the moment I'm gone
