about

I work in a cabinet shop. I do woodworking as a hobby. I am something of a klutz as well. None of these things add up to healthy hands.

lyrics

Paper cuts, rug burns and knee scrapes
Ankle sprains, chapped lips and stubbed pinky toes
These little indignities keep piling up
Where they all come from, aw who the hell knows?
It’s splinters and blisters and hangnails
Loose tooth from a bar fight outside of Mobil
I’m happy to say, I’m doing okay
It just seems like I’m always waiting to heal

It’s sunburn and spasms and pimples
Hangovers, heartburn and rocks in my boots
If it ain’t one damn thing it’s another
I swear these afflictions are all in cahoots
It’s bad knees and backaches and bunions
Pinpricks too small for to see though I feel
I ain’t saying life is nothing but strife
It just seems like I’m always waiting to heal

It’s hay fever springtime and summer
Seasonal affective disorder come fall
Oh lord I can’t even remember
The feeling of feeling no hurting at all
A wound mends and another one opens
There’s always some blood that has yet to congeal
When the man rides in on that white donkey
You can bet I’ll still be here a-waiting to heal

Painless Parker Brooklyn, New York

Born under a barstool and raised by a pack of wild koalas, Painless Parker plays a mixed bag of country laments, sea shanties, murder ballads and classic rockers, filtered through a grimy, whiskey-stained punk lens. He's fluent in two languages, and can cuss in at least seventeen. He enjoys rabble-rousing, shindigging, booze drinking and merrymaking. ... more
