Table Talk
Hail Mary Mallon Lyrics

I work well when the air is heavy
I am the most productive when the atmosphere around me is serious

Everyday before the roosters ready
I begin working early in the morning, even before the cocks start crowing

Won′t see a break till the day gets done
I work constantly until the day's work is completed

Till the stars cut cake and the moon get some
I will work tirelessly even till the late-night hours when the sky is dark and silent

And when it does then I'll do what I can
After my work is completed, I will do my best to use the remaining time productively

To offer it a place in the space at the end
I will make use of that time to do something creative and worthwhile

Dead water war and a portion of bread
Life is full of struggles and challenges, even to get a mere portion of daily bread

And a pocket full of stones it can toss at my head
Sometimes, even those who need help will harm you - it's important to be prepared

Leap awake shake off the chill and
I quickly shake off negativity and laziness to start the day energetically

Won′t stop marching my arches are killing
I won't give up or stop working, even if my feet hurt terribly from walking or standing all day

Spill a little more when the martyrs are trained
I put in extra effort when I see others working hard for a cause

Willing ready able, cable armed ready aim
I am always prepared for any situation, and can adapt and respond accordingly

Stain glass pain killers copped
I find solace in temporary distractions or entertainment to cope with the pain of life's challenges

Rain coat game then complain when it stops
I am well-prepared for difficulties, but still often complain when they cease and everything becomes easy

Vein dry I.V drain tiny drop
I am depleted and exhausted, relying on small moments of rest or respite

I'm thinking I can save all the saints who forgot
I have a desire to help those who have been forgotten or are struggling, even if it seems impossible

How to pick a weapon apart with your teeth
I am resourceful and determined, willing to do whatever it takes to survive and succeed

In a dark alley blind when the targets retreat
I am adaptable and able to think on my feet even in the most challenging and dangerous environments

Park, repeat, Parkinson tick
Sometimes, my life feels monotonous, repetitive and boring

Made it to the movies with a marketing trick
Sometimes success in life requires clever marketing or promotion, more than actual merit

Come home greasy buckets of fried
After a long day's work, I come home tired and often eat unhealthy, but satisfying food

Fox in a box and a tux with a tie
Appearances can be deceiving, and sometimes even those who seem successful and put-together have their own challenges

None will be the wiser or struck with surprise
Others usually can't tell what's really going on in someone's life or mind

When we rock through the roof when the trucks have arrived
When we achieve success or accomplish something great, we will make a big impact

"Hold it down" alright f*** it, no one here is in ear shot of it
There's no need to be quiet or secretive; we can speak freely, even if nobody is listening

They're all talking beer and the tied up luggage
Others are distracted by superficial and unimportant things, while important issues are ignored

Did you hide the knives by the dry rub bucket?
I don't trust others fully and am always prepared for the worst

Lead um out single file, tell them why the kids gone wild
I will lead others to take bold and daring action, and explain to them the reasons behind it

And when they try to get up with a dressed smile
Even when others try to deceive or manipulate me, I won't be fooled

Get fed up and think of gitmo style
I will stand up and fight back against oppression and injustice, even if it means being aggressive or violent

We can take this all to heart, little by little we can fall apart
If we let ourselves get too caught up in the problems and challenges of life, we will slowly begin to break down

Or we can let um find our kind
We can align ourselves with people who share our values and goals

In the back of the bus near the firing line
We need to be strategic and careful, even when we are fighting for a just cause

Or we can give um one last hope
We can give people a reason to keep going, even when everything seems hopeless

Then push them off of the back of the boat
Sometimes, we need to take a risk and push people out of their comfort zones to help them succeed

Or we can give them wings and a couple of tries
We can help others gain the skills and confidence they need to succeed on their own

To let um figure out how we got this fly
We can teach others how to succeed and achieve what we have, so they can do it on their own

Pass the peas, mash and the beans
We can sit down and share food and conversation with others as a way to connect and build trust

At a rally to gather his faculties
We can come together and unify as a group to support a common cause or goal

A little dog-day tension elude detection
Sometimes we need to work hard and push through challenging and stressful times without giving up

In the pews of the die-with-your-boots-on section
Sometimes we have to stand up and fight for what we believe in, even if it's difficult or dangerous

What took two with a fusion of thirst and a punk jump view
Sometimes we can achieve great things by combining different skills, approaches, and perspectives

Three, Mallon with no regard
I am willing to take risks and do what it takes to succeed, even if it's unconventional or dangerous

Beyond full house clubs over lonely hearts
Sometimes, those who seem successful and popular are actually lonely and hurting inside

I′m on cruise, the DWI is ramen and
I am relaxed and comfortable, even when I'm in difficult or challenging situations

Rooster sauce
I have my own way of doing things, and I stick to it even if others don't understand or approve

And still never cut the boosters off
I always push myself to do better and be better, even when I'm doing well already

Until a room of consumers and moody Veruca Salts
Even when others are negative or critical, I will stay focused on my goals and keep pushing forward

Can overlook a little whooping cough
I will keep working hard and persevering, even through small setbacks or challenges

We all cooped, up, loops, drugs
Sometimes we feel stuck and trapped in life, and turn to unhealthy ways of coping

Eight bit-crowbar loosen the drums
Sometimes we need to be creative and unconventional to succeed, like using a crowbar to loosen a drum

And become best friends like a noose and a lung
Sometimes our biggest challenges become our closest companions, like a noose that has been cut and a lung that can inhale freely

Or cooter removing a duke from a truck
Sometimes we need to use humor to lighten the mood and help us get through difficult situations

Beep beep why y′all so slow, ok here's how the blitz gon′ go
I am ready to take action and move quickly, even if others are hesitant or slow

The second the poisonous sun is gone
When things are difficult or toxic, we need to be patient and wait for the right moment to act

I want silverbacks on the Jumbotron
When I succeed, I want it to be big and memorable, like having my picture on a jumbotron

My bad if Columbo's on, we don′t plan really these things very well
Sometimes, things don't go according to plan and we have to adapt and make it work

Arm in the sky, one to the side, why
Sometimes we need to make bold and dramatic gestures to get others to notice us

That spells L, take one and resign
Even when things don't go well, we need to keep trying and eventually we will succeed
