Rilo Kiley - A Town Called Luckey video free download

Rare B-Side to 'Portions for Foxes'

Happy birthday

You're halfway to sixty

You have no land of your own

A job you despise and a lover that's mean

And you started noticing a disturbing thing

Birds eating other birds just beyond the screen

So you packed up your things

And you hopped on the freeway, headed east

And you drove for eight days, aimlessly

Telling yourself to be humble

Singing yourself to be free

Being full aware that it's a middle-aged crisis type thing

And you drove until you saw a sign for a town called Luckey

Spelled L-U-C-K-E-Y

Where the sugar towers rise to line and meet the streets

Checked into a motel, slept on cardboard sheets

That covered the blood-stained mattress underneath

Went to the local bar and you got yourself a drink

Telling yourself to be humble

Singing yourself to be free

It's a middle-aged crisis type thing

It was the most rag-tag group you had ever seen

A splendid man with a moustache on both sides, nothing in-between

Looking like a preacher�s son who had given into the devil-worshipping scene

He was a real looker and he bought you a drink

And you proceeded to tell him everything

And you were getting a bit hysterical it seemed

And you laughed like a carburetor and then you screamed

All the doubt and the disbelief

Telling yourself to be humble

Singing yourself to be free

It's a middle-aged crisis type thing

And he told you how he came to be

As an altar boy by his father's knees

And how he came to lose his faith

There was no touching but advances were made

And his father's hand in slow motion, it was approaching him

And the doubt and disbelief crept over his young heart like the black ocean

A stormcloud, a hurricane if you will

A stormcloud, a hurricane

Telling yourself to be humble

Singing yourself to be free

It's a middle-aged crisis type thing

Go home, lady, find yourself happy

It's just a middle-aged crisis type thing

It's a middle-aged crisis type thing

It's a middle-aged crisis type thing

It's a middle-aged crisis type thing

It's a middle-aged crisis type thing

It's a middle-aged crisis type thing
