New single from Dessa off of her new “Parts of Speech” album coming out in
June. I can't wait to see her and her live touring band play on May, 12th
At Local 506! 
Lyrics:
A wick with no candle 
A wheel with no axle 
I ride with no saddle 
No lift, then I'm dragging the kite 
A blade with no handle 
A brick for your window 
I'm fine but I'm single 
A dime and 
I'm the same on both sides 
You're a stone-cold killer you say 
But you're looking like a part-time criminal 
Waive the charade 
Man, you lay it on thick 
It's a dive bar, save the game 
You drink and you sit 
Easy to please 
But hard to impress 
I'm in a mood, new shoes, and a bulletproof dress 
Sugar on the rim and a shot of mescal 
Man, it's murder in the morning 
But it's good for morale 
Can you mortar more 
Looks like you're bricking with both hands 
Get the spirit level 
Or the skeleton won't stand 
Fuck the plan, man 
I'm tryna call an audible 
Probable lost cause 
But I got a thing for long shots 
Yes, yes, naysayers got the wrong job 
Best bet when you think they got the wrong odds 
And I've done some living in a glass house 
High note blew the motherfucking walls off 
And I sleep 
With both eyes open 
Standing up 
Alone and holding 
Off the rust 
And I'm still living by my maiden name 
The name I came with 
The name I made 
And I'm bare-faced at your masquerade 
Filled a flask up before I came 
Because night falls 
We all wanna hear that fight song 
Car running like a nylon 
Brights on 
Time's right but the clock's wrong 
Never set it, never settle in a time zone 
Take what I need with me 
Pray for rain but brace for whiskey 
Something in the tank, money in the bank 
Callin it a win we 
Give a little thanks, give a little back 
Busy with the grand plan 
Take one last look 
Left the bandwagon 
For a banned book 
To break out you gotta give up the chase 
To make love you gotta take off the brace 
And we all leave it feeling half done 
Best you can do is just put a hand up 
Hope grace and good works in the end add up 
Find out when the pendulum hangs plumb
