(Love In) Low​-​Key Hell

from Escape From Nice Island by Fletcher Coulee

/

lyrics

Your hair was blue when I first saw you
You were on the go walking on your toes
You turned around wearing a frown
I turned away and unstrapped my bowling shoes
You looked at me as I tied up my old boots

Do I need another beer you ask gee how can you tell?
It’s the least someone can do in this low key hell
I know you’re gettin paid to wait but put my order through
I don’t want nothin else tonight baby I want you

Your hair was red I wished I was dead
We had a fight, it took all night
We both attacked, and took it back
You thought I got myself a wandering eye
Dontcha know without you I might die
Do I need another smoke you ask gee how can you tell?
It’s the least someone can do in this low key hell
I know you’re gettin paid to wait but spare a little trust
I ain’t trying to gamble baby, cuz it's you or bust

It ain't all or nothing, it ain’t black and white,
when it comes to loving, sometimes it’s better to be happy than right

When your hair is gray don’t look away
I’ll still be here sipping on a beer
I hope you’ll laugh on our thin raft
Cuz that’s all we’ll have as our world comes down
We can’t waste a moment on our frowns
Do I need another lifetime with ya gee how can you tell?
It’s the least someone can do in this low key hell
You ain't gettin paid to wait but listen to my truth
I ain’t going nowhere baby, unless it’s with you

Banished to the land of wind and ghosts, Fletcher Coulee spent 2020 holed up in the hull of a ship wrecked by stupidity and prejudice. Voices came from behind closed doors, even light had to knock. After a year, they emerged with long gray hair and a button on their face that said, "PLAY." Everybody had lost so much. No one asked them to, but Fletcher went looking anyway. ... more
