Chuck Berry from SKULLS by The Light Switches

Chuck Berry is a dead and buried and his songs are in outer space
but if he was here right now I know just what he would say
The sun is shining down, the fruit is juicy and ripe
But it’s too late in this town if it touches the ground
You’ve got to climb up and take a bite

Stop acting so precious there’s no good time to decide
Stop acting so precious Go on make a life

My taxi driver ever since I arrived here tells me boy you got to be a man
Tonight I told him that I’ve fallen in love w/ the lady from the produce stand
He said hijo vultures are circling You might as well tell her tonight
You can wait if you like but if the money’s not right
You better show up and show them the knife

Stop acting so precious there’s no good time to decide
Stop acting so precious Go on make a life

She has a tattooed sleeve that’s easy to read and an Indian ring in her nose
that she took off and put in your pocket then you went and lost it now everybody knows
she said you’re like an old man you know how i know that I can see your will is strong
but every will gets broken You might not believe that you’ll never catch me
but you’ll never do it til you die in your sleep

Chuck Berry is a dead and buried and his songs are in outer space
but if he was here right now I know just what he would say
The sun is shining down, the fruit is juicy and ripe
But it’s too late in this town if it touches the ground
You’ve got to climb up and take a bite

Stop acting so precious there’s no good time to decide
Stop acting so precious Go on make a life
Go on make a life
