Rancid lyrics - Black Derby Jacket


Title: Black Derby Jacket
Artist: Rancid
Album: Rancid
Year: 2000
Submitted by: Lars is my hero


Books of Emerson and books of Thero,
but all i read was maps of the road
Three thousand miles away from you
all the while i was twenty-two

what do you do to know who you are?
the best way for me was to drop out on tour
you went upstate new york to go to school
and secure the role of your parents

Chorus:
But I got a new prospective on you
all the good an bad that we've been through
i know you better than you know you,
'cause I gotta new prospective on you

I never needed much, I never liked to loom
but a gesture can get me from across the room
that first night we talked 'till the sun caught up
transparent people melting all around us

you left in a plane i left in a van
played nightclubs house partys and auditoriums
saw germany england and italy in my band
I know you better than your new friends

Chorus

Ford econo-land september '93
driving ten hours 'till my eyes were blurey
three packs of winstons and a bag of seeds
tapes of x and a thermous of coffey

six weeks on then ten days off
and i go back on the road for another show
this is all that i've ever done
girl i've got nothing to fall back on

Chorus

God damn rancid is good
