Jenny Lewis - Acid Tongue Lyrics
I went to a cobbler to fix a hole in my shoe
He took one look at my face and said, "I can fix that hole in you"
"I beg your pardon, I'm not lookin' for a cure,
I've seen enough of my friends in the depths of the godsick blues"
You know I am a liar
Nobody helps a liar
'Cause I've been down to Dixie and dropped acid on my tongue
Tripped upon the land 'til enough was enough
I was a little bit lighter and adventure on my sleeve
I was a little drunk and looking for company
So I found myself a sweetheart with the softest of hands
We were unlucky in love, but I'd do it all again
We built ourselves a fire
We built ourselves a fire
But you know I am a liar
You know I am a liar
And you don't know what I've done
By the rolling river is exactly where I was
There was no snake oil cure for unlucky in love
To be lonely is a habit like smoking or taking drugs
And I've quit them both, but, man, was it rough
Now I am tired
It just made me tired
Let's build ourselves a fire
Let's build ourselves a fire

Jenny's voice is so beautiful here....on such an awesome song...
Really don’t know how her singing “I am a liar” is the sweetest thing I’ve ever heard
This song is so deceivingly simple and so hauntingly beautiful.
This shit makes me cry and have goosebumps, so, I guess that means it's Awlright.
im warming up to this music
Pure and true. A good song to drive to.
dawes and jenny lewis need to tour. toss in the wild feathers and i think you may have the recipe for heaven. bake till golden. hmm?
If your looking for American Idol crap. You've come to the wrong place.
Just heard this (and her) for the 1st time watching @busyphillips Ig story and love it!
The man in the middle singing harmony has got long arms
Jenny is country music for the intelligent non sociopaths
haha... i have always thought that myself... because detest most country...but something about this girl voice and her writing style... i goes back to the sincerity of the classics like cash and roy orbison.
PIPES!!!!!!!
You can't describe the beautifulness of this song with musical jargon, as is often the case with Jenny.
That's why I never get tired of listening to her.
Kyle Craft sent me here
Gary the wizard sent me here
The wizard sent me here,....
One of the best songs in existence. It always makes the world stop spinning for just a few minutes. Breathtaking <3
Saw her perform this live at 2014 Outside Lands Festival. My favorite song by her
Saw a replay of her Austin City Limits performance, jaw dropping! She's Amazing!
She has OK talent, her songwriting skills are at about the level of Jewel. If this is one of her better efforts, then she clearly falls short of Joni Mitchell, Joan Baez, or Emmylou Harris. On the other hand, she isn't half bad.
This is funny because I find her to be one of the most gifted songwriters.
There was no snake oil cure for unlucky in love.... Jeez...only those who've lived it can write it!!!!!!
one of my favourite songs of all time. jenny lewis is such a gift.
most underrated gal around. lip singing? look elsewhere.
goose bumps
This song kills me.
I'm dead too
Her songs always do.
Absolutely superb
That "man it was rough" moment is so sublime.
yes yes yes
Fuckin A Bubba!!
This song just came up on my daily mix on Spotify.
Wow, lovely
I never tire of this song Jenny and the harmonies of your band - yes perfect.
Perfect
J'adore cette chanson 😘 tout le monde aura reconnue Zooey Deschanel dans les Coeurs😏 la petite soeur de Bones :) 😇
Why won't this link as a thumbnail on fb? Stupid if not permitted
WOW.. where have you been sista.. awesome
question for jenny - what model martin do you play and what is the pick-up? it sounds great.
please reply. thanks and keep up the good work.
+greg romero Dood she will never watch this and answer you. You're best off with something like her twitter if she has one.
too bad. thanks.
Greg, I think that’s a Martin 00015 with a Fishman pickup. Could be a 0015 as well
nice. simply and nice.
Love.....
love... thanks for coming to Hangout Fest 2015!
