Lyrics to Saltine Cracker Girl
My first love was a carpenter
He built me a house out of bottles and smoke
The day I set to leave his side
I thought for sure I'd die alone
He reminded me of Jesus Christ
The calmness of his martyrdom
The endless empty of his cup
The smell of cedar in his clothes
I hope he'll find a saltine cracker girl
To get him good and clean
I hope he'll find it in his bleeding heart
To never think of me
Don't ever think of me
His brother was an army man
Paranoia in his eye
He's probably seen a million things
That make him wish he could just die
He reminded me of Jesus Christ
Carrying a heavy load
His trigger finger pops a can
Of beer to forget what he knows
His is the only face
That I have ever swung at while I screamed
I hope he finds it in his broken heart
To never think of me
Don't ever think of me
Don't ever think of me
Don't ever think of me
I hope he'll find a saltine cracker girl
To get him good and clean
I hope he finds it in his bleeding heart
Don't ever think of me
He built me a house out of bottles and smoke
The day I set to leave his side
I thought for sure I'd die alone
He reminded me of Jesus Christ
The calmness of his martyrdom
The endless empty of his cup
The smell of cedar in his clothes
I hope he'll find a saltine cracker girl
To get him good and clean
I hope he'll find it in his bleeding heart
To never think of me
Don't ever think of me
His brother was an army man
Paranoia in his eye
He's probably seen a million things
That make him wish he could just die
He reminded me of Jesus Christ
Carrying a heavy load
His trigger finger pops a can
Of beer to forget what he knows
His is the only face
That I have ever swung at while I screamed
I hope he finds it in his broken heart
To never think of me
Don't ever think of me
Don't ever think of me
Don't ever think of me
I hope he'll find a saltine cracker girl
To get him good and clean
I hope he finds it in his bleeding heart
Don't ever think of me
