Political Scientist Lyrics - Love Is Hell, Pt. 1 [ep] - Ryan Adams

He is drinking water from the faucet from the river 

From the tributary it comes through rusted pipes 

Outside his window he sees the water that's supposed to be clean 

By the chemicals polluted by the candy factory lines 

Someplace on the edge of town 

Someplace on the edge of town 

Is where they live -- 

Political scientists 

So now she is crawling on her hands and her knees 

She is dirtying her jeans choking on her own perfume 

With a pen she writes below the sink in someone's restaurant 

This place is inconvenient for my name 

She forgets to write it anyway 

She forgets to write it anyway 

The government supplies the cocaine 

Political scientists 

There's no guarantees 

There's no guarantees 

There's no guarantees

Banging hard upon a crooked drum 

She feels them tearing down Salvation Army houses back in Michigan 

Her husband's divorced but he treats her that way of course 

Because he needs her just like he needs medicine 

She forgets to write him anyway 

She forgets to write him anyway 

What's red and white and nearly over 

Political scientist 

Political scientist 

Political scientist 

There's no guarantees 

There's no guarantees 

There's no guarantees
