Shakey Graves
Favorite Chair
Awake again
More foe than friend
What's a crime without a witness?
All pine and sap
More noose than trap
Don't cry, dear
It's only business
So tell me have you seen me anywhere, anywhere
With brand new ink and knee-length hair
With loads to say and time to spare
Well, I always imagine you there
In your favorite chair
So I'll awake again
For if and when
You ever truly need me
Oh, I'll be by your side
In record time
Till then, I'll stay here sleeping
So tell me any story
But the truth, but the truth
Tell me horror stories
Say he's bad to you
And his teeth taste strange
And he's a lousy screw
Am I always lying there between the two of you?
Am I always gonna sit and stay here like you taught me to?
In your favorite chair
In your favorite chair
Like you used to
Yeah, like you used to
