Comes To Blows Lyrics - Singles - Grant Lee Buffalo

Whittled me down 'til I was kindling for the fire 

'cause I might've found out for myself in a while 

Round and round it goes 

Soon it comes to blows 

School house crushed the kid 

Snuff his will to flower 

But now that the answer has 

Been offered oh so eloquently 

Pummeled you hard 'til you began to settle in 

By the end of the day even they took you as one of them 

Round and round it goes 

Soon it comes to blows 

You know in the streets below the 

High rise is the ghetto 

Now that the answer has 

Been offered oh so eloquently 

Speaker of the house I'll never be as powerful as you 

As I've only known the humble work that which these hands can do 

Soon it comes to blows 

In this moment fragile 

Unearthing wade and roe while in 

The inner city it's a battle 

Creation myth and gun control 

Are all up for grabs and on the mantel 

It hits a little too close to home for most 

I can't turn it around but I can turn the channel 

Now that the answer has 

Been offered oh so eloquently 

Oh oh oh 

Oh oh oh 

Oh think I'll just drift away slowly 

Oh think I'll just drift away slowly 

Oh think I'll just drift away slowly 

Oh think I'll just drift away slowly 

Think I'll just drift away slowly 

Think I'll just drift away slowly 

Think I'll just drift away slowly 

Ah
