Self-Destruction Under Construction

Granny's 12 Gauge, Copyright 1998.
 
 

Lock the doors and curl up tight

The devil might be workin' tonight

Sweet sweet dreams or nightmare scenes

Or angels of mercy on paving machines
 
 

Self-Destruction Under Construction

Baby I'm not through I've got work to do

Self-Destruction Under Construction

I'm pavin' 'cross the past so the memories won't last

So the memories won't last
 
 

I go to work when the sun goes down

I know every barkeep in this town

They call my name when I hit the door

They know just what I've come there for
 
 

My best friend is a whiskey shot

It makes my guts feel good and hot

And it blots out things that I have seen

Like angels of mercy on paving machines
 
 

You'll hear me workin' in the wee wee hours

I'm out there pavin' over funeral flowers
 
 

Self-Destruction Under Construction

Baby I'm not through I've got work to do

Self-Destruction Under Construction

I'm pavin' 'cross the past so the memories won't last

So the memories won't last
 
 

My sweet love died by my side

She called my name before she died

Times like this I'd hold her tight

Times like this I'd hold her tight
 
 

Self-Destruction Under Construction

Baby I'm not through I've got work to do

Self-Destruction Under Construction

I'm pavin' 'cross the past so the memories won't last

So the memories won't last
