lyrics

(the neck is soft)

He offered me a Gibson and eleven hundred cedis
He turned it over twice and told me it was finished
He said the frets are gone, the neck is soft, it will not hold
And every single thing he said was completely true

The neck is soft (the neck is soft)
He is right, the neck is soft
That is the point, the neck is soft
The neck is soft

The neck is soft, is soft, the neck is soft, is soft
It is soft in the exact shape of my father's hand
The neck is soft, is soft, the neck is soft, is soft
You are offering me money for the only thing I have

Thirty-one years of one man's thumb in one position.
That is not damage. That is a recording. That is the last one.
When it finally goes, that is the second time he dies.
(BAND RETURNS)

The neck is soft, is soft, the neck is soft, is soft
It is soft in the exact shape of my father's hand
The neck is soft, is soft, the neck is soft, is soft
You are offering me money for the only thing I have

(the neck is soft...)
