I stuck a six inch gold blade inside the head of a girl. she: lying through her teeth. him: lying on his back. hands of this one,hands off she cried. grinning at me from hip to hip.
I've been contemplating suicide,. but it really doesn't suit my style,. so I think I'll just act bored instead. who can take (alt: And Contain) the blood I would've shed?.
You were planning to stay in, you had it carefully planned. Your coat was hanging in the hall, your hat was in your hand. You walked over to your woman, your pale distracted love.
there is woman-pie in here. mr. evangalist says she's hit. the best cook you ever had. ya can't blame the good-woman now, dad. and ya looked him up for 20 years.
She passed by my window. Her eyes were all aglow. Bent to pick her glove shed dropped. From the bright and brittle snow. . Nature had spoken it in the Spring.
Once she lay open like a road. Carved apart the madness that I stumbled from. But she fell away. She fell away. . Shed me like a skin. She fell away. Left me holding everything, oh.
This is a dead letter tale. If I could make this print talk. You made a deep mark/deep mark on me. and only saints say such things as those. so I slid under the floor.
Well, I lived with one. Well, I lived with one, I lived with two,. I even lived with a third. I wanna tell you about number one. He was a miserable shitwringing turd.
O say goodbye to the little girl tree. O you know that I must say goodbye. To the little girl tree. This wall I built around you. Is made out of stone-lies.
Born of the river. Born of its ever changing, never changing murky water. Oh riverboat just rollin' along through the great, great greasy city. Huck standing like a Saint upon its deck.
I climbed the hill, lay in the grass. A little dark eyes girl drifted past. She said, "All the best has come, it could not last. And the worst is has come true".
Down the road I look and there runs Mary. Hair of gold and lips like cherries. We go down to the river where the willows weep. Take a naked root for a lovers seat.
[As sung by Mick Harvey; Nick's live versions deviate from this.]. Credits: Humphreys/Lovett/Richards/Lynch/Anderson/LPA. . I look at you in your sad dark eyes.
No one said it was going to be easy. To get our voices to blend.. Peaceful feelings don't always come easy. But they're a means to an end.. . It's a good life but it's fast paced.
It's summertime. And the living is easy. Fish are jumping. And the cotton is high. Your daddy is rich. And your mommy's good looking. So hush pretty baby, don't you cry.
Through early morning fog I see. visions of the things to be. the pains that are withheld for me. I realize and I can see.... . [REFRAIN]. . That suicide is painless.
I don't know much about love. How it cures and frees the soul. Makes you whole and all that other stuff. But I was kissed by lady luck. And I know that I'm stuck on you.
Strolling down the highway. I'm gonna get there my way. Just keep on down-a-walking. You hear my guitar, rocking. Well I stroll on down. On down the highway.
