Shakey Graves - Pansy Waltz Lyrics
Well he's out of season, out of sync
Oh lord, what must his family think?
And you must be getting his feathers wet
Plus he always seems to be the talk
Until she drops you like a rock
Well I dusted all the bones out in my yard
I fixed the screen door, raised the barn
But still you call me from the moon
Every single afternoon
Tell me all about the astronauts you've come to love
And how the earth looks from above
And how I should've been a better friend to you
But I've never seen life as a chore
I've read the news, abused the booze
And often wondered why
My smile remains the thinking pains
The average passerby
Oh they'll sink like stones into their homes
Away from teeth like mine
Yes, so I came to hate my skin
And all the holes you'd hidden in
The way you let my legs walk slow weeks away
I wish I -
Well, you should've been a better friend of mine
Well I saw in you a brand new bird
The song of which I'd never heard
Oh, a melody so fine
That whole world would whine
And it's a tune to give the boys the blues
And turn the horses into glue
You know, I should've been a better friend to you
Yeah, I should've been a better friend to you
Well, I've never seen life as a chore
Or a treasure for to find
I've read the news, abused the booze
And often wondered why
Oh my smile remains the thinking pains
The average passerby
They'll sink like stones into their homes
Away from teeth like mine
Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine
Yeah, you should've been a better friend of mine

Why they don't have this gentleman playing with them live more often is beyond me.
When did sweating ever become so fricken' SEXXXY dude? Fr! I think i may be in loveee...♡ lol.
That bass needs a microphone. Can’t hear it.
This is literally the hottest man I have ever seen in my life
Can I like this again?? <3
I love how happy they are
You can see the pain in his eyes
oh boy that voice.. its perfect. he goes to my top male voice list, for sure.
This song, specifically this version makes me think of the moonlit nights I spent drinking with all of my old classmates as if the future was never going to come. Just so intentionally lost in each other's company because we all knew that those times spent dancing, laughing, and smiling in barnyard parties, field concerts, and old country roads that you could just get lost driving on for miles with zero traffic were the best some of us were ever going to see or know. Regardless of our efforts at our jobs. I just see all of the memories flash along to the song in slow motion and it just reminds me that my only regret about any of it was that we didn't enjoy it twice as much as we already were. This man is my hero for bringing this much soul back to folk/blues/country/rock.
This song gives me the strangest urge to go and punch a wrong-doer in the jaw.
This song is so coool .... I love his nonchalant delivery....
This is my favorite song of all time. I can't pin down the genre or find another like it.
Try starting at "waltzes" ;)
Indie folk
well...
The yell he does in the chorus hits me every time. Amazing song
love this song
Your a rock star in the making. Keep the good work up.
I want some of what they're on. So totally into it.
Definitely my favorite song on the new album besides Dearly Departed <3
I'm in love with this. 😍🎸
I really love this song but what I love even more is the Ron Burgundy afternoon delight nod Shakey gives Boo at about the 1:19 mark
