Fit to Be Tied
Fit to Be Tied: Unveiling a Criminal's Heart in Crooked Dreams
Lyrics
I'm sleeping soft tonight
I find comfort in my sleep tonight.
Keeping warm with crooked dreams
I am comforted by distorted or deceptive dreams.
The pennies of a dead man's eyes
A metaphorical reference to valuing something from a deceased person.
Never let my pockets weep
I never let my financial difficulties show.
And I'm sorry you had to know me
I apologize for being acquainted with me in times when I'm emotionally distressed.
When I'm so fit to be tied
I am emotionally overwhelmed and not in control.
I'm such a mensch in my clothes
I present myself well in appearance.
But my plans are criminal
Despite my outward appearance, my intentions or actions are unlawful.
So give me your hand in a quote
Offering a partnership with someone, suggesting collaboration in deceitful plans.
I'll save your grim and single soul
I will protect and save you from a grim and lonely existence.
I'm hoping you're the type
Expressing a desire for a specific type of person, possibly one easily deceived.
The kind that falls for every line
A preference for someone who falls for charm and deception.
The kind that sings along to all of my wrongs
Describing a partner who accepts and overlooks the speaker's faults.
Too good to be a find
Describing the partner as too good to be a fortunate discovery.
Now honey, my time is money
The speaker values time highly and implies a transactional aspect to relationships.
And you've come dressed in rags
Commenting on the partner's modest or poor appearance.
I'm such a mensch in my clothes
Reiteration of presenting well in appearance despite criminal intentions.
But my plans are criminal
Reiteration of having unlawful plans despite a respectable appearance.
So give me your hand in a quote
Continued suggestion of collaboration in deceitful plans.
I'll save your grim and single soul
Reiterating the promise to save the partner from a grim and lonely life.
I'm such a mensch in my clothes
Reiteration of presenting well in appearance despite criminal intentions.
But my plans are criminal
Reiteration of having unlawful plans despite a respectable appearance.
So give me your hand in a quote
Continued suggestion of collaboration in deceitful plans.
I'll save your grim and single soul
Reiterating the promise to save the partner from a grim and lonely life.
I'm such a mensch in my clothes
Reiteration of presenting well in appearance despite criminal intentions.
But my plans are criminal
Reiteration of having unlawful plans despite a respectable appearance.
So give me your hand in a quote
Continued suggestion of collaboration in deceitful plans.
I'll save your grim and single soul
Reiterating the promise to save the partner from a grim and lonely life.
Mensch in my clothes
Reiteration of presenting well in appearance despite criminal intentions.
But my plans are criminal
Reiteration of having unlawful plans despite a respectable appearance.
So give me your hand in a quote
Continued suggestion of collaboration in deceitful plans.
I'll save your grim and single soul
Reiterating the promise to save the partner from a grim and lonely life.
I'm such a mensch in my clothes
Reiteration of presenting well in appearance despite criminal intentions.
But my plans are criminal
Reiteration of having unlawful plans despite a respectable appearance.
So give me your hand in a quote
Continued suggestion of collaboration in deceitful plans.
I'll save your grim and single soul, single soul
Final reiteration of the promise to save the partner from a grim and lonely life.
