Jamaican Rum

from Curtains by Paris Street

/

about

Two friends, a dachshund, and a bottle of rum.

This song's set in St Louis. It was meant to be the concluding song on a 5-song EP that we recorded in 2007. The other songs from that EP ("Laundry Room", "Folk Song 5", "Truth", and "In The Mood For Love") can be found elsewhere in this collection.

lyrics

There's a dachshund lying on my lap
He is licking my arm in haste
It's been so long since I've been back
I guess he missed my taste

You are cutting figurines again
Made from felt and aluminum
Puffins, turtles, crows and cranes
Between shots of Jamaican rum

You know I have seen the best of you
And the worst sometimes
But there's nothing you could ever do
That would make my love decline

There's no denying things aren't right
We are losing it in different ways
But, who cares, let's just enjoy this night
Pour another shot my way
