Hot Seat lyrics

Artist  : Vic Chesnutt 
Song : Hot Seat



 Send "Hot Seat" Ringtone to your Cell 

 Ventolin and Vivarin and primatene
secret
tequila shots and a patch of morphine
in the
morning and in the throes
what a great day to
come out of a coma

I've been in the hot
seat sweating it out
oh, sweating it
out
sweating it out
sweating it
out

I touch the telephone it falls
away
I think they call it empathy
but not
this way
I put my lips on the sound hole
my
tongue is finally warming
but my brain is
charcoal

I've been in the hot seat
sweating it out
oh, sweating it
out
sweating it out
sweating it
out

not much later, fall out of
favor
pretty soon I know I'll do
precisely
what I wanted not to do

maybe I slipped up
and learned a lesson
to work my proclivity
towards second guessing
I was too naive and
enthusiastic
to keep my trap shut
and my
monkey in a motherfuckin' basket

I've been
in the hot seat sweating it out
oh, sweating it
out
sweating it out
sweating it out
