"Written originally as a much heavier song, I decided to strip it back a little bit and add some much needed Cutsforth weirdness to Flintlock Wink."
lyrics
You've got a flintlock wink
and a shotgun smile
I know you'll get your way again
You've got a butcher's grip
and a Shogun's stare
This is getting to be a tired trend
You've got a flintlock wink
and a shotgun smile
I know you'll get your way again
You've got a giant chip
and a comfy chair
This is getting to be a tired trend
Catch the smoke
Slipping like the shower soap
To my surprise
I can see it in your eyes
Catch the smoke
Can we tie it to a rope
To my surprise
You cut me off
Can we shine
Can we last
I never wanted more than this so I'll be fine
Tell me how long
Has it been a while
Tell me I'm wrong
I can see it in your eyes
You've got a blunderbuss
hidden under your coat
I hope you get to see the end
You've got a student's lip
but a teacher's glare
This is getting to me my cutthroat friend
Can we shine
Can we last
I never wanted more than this so I'll be fine
Tell me how long
Has it been a while
Tell me I'm wrong
I can see it in your eyes
Can we shine
Can we last
I never wanted more than this so I'll be fine
Tell me how long
Has it been a while
Tell me I'm wrong
I can see it in your eyes
