been staring for a hundred hours. run down a spiral drain. keep mouth clamped tight, and it isn't right. three words keep running round my mind. but my tongue is hard to find.
You can't sell me incense. My world smells good enough to eat. So let's not eat, just smell the good and longing. Not owning. We'll circle like insects.
Seven hundred miles to play to fifteen angry men.. I need some sleep.. We hate them too.. They hate the songs.. This show is free.. Just call it luck..
Walking through the sand. To the tune of the band. Come, take my hand. I'll show you the dream land. . Looking through summertime. Listen to my chime.
And when you said it was gonna be all-right. we almost believed you. . It's the voice of the poor. In a dying land. The drunk and the drugged and the damned.
Boat on a hill, never going to sea. Anchored to a fixer upper's dream. This. boat is beat, never gonna be a boat now. Thirsty, sees the sea from high on.
I could walk a million miles. Suffer freezing rain and failure, it's familiar. This time you have gone too far. Stole my memories and teardrops, now it all stops.
I'm putting on my blinders.. I'm walking straight to me.. I'm following my carrot.. It's plenty hard to reach.. Keep your foot out of my door.. I don't want you on my floor..
Flattered that you think I warrant ugliness. Gutters. drain west, mud made a mess of us. It's time to leave. this place. I'd saw through your wrist to find a.
Flattered that you think I warrant ugliness. Gutters drain West, mud made a mess of us. It's time to leave this place. . I'd saw through your wrist to find a better trap that fits.
Hey!. I know you got time for one. burn one, burn one, hey. burn one, burn one, hey. I know you got time for one. burn one, burn one, hey. burn one, burn one.
It seems I spend my days now wrapped in veils of sleep.. Caught in slumber's grasp,. nowhere that I should be.. I grew so goddamned tired of fighting against these chains..
Eight thirty you head to work. Get your coffee and your paper and pretend it's worth it. Shakedown when Friday comes. try to turn your paycheck into more than surviving.
[Verse 1]. Yo, sexy ass girl. I ain't gon' lie you got me open. Ain't nobody here so I was hoping. That you could bust it wide open. Nah, I'm just playing.
Seated by the wing.. . A little face inside a ring.. . Plane came in late.. . Run up the ramp into my arms.. . My arms.. . You're only thirteen.. . Wide-eyed and nervous just like me..
They said go left and you went right. And now what once was a life has just become a fight. In this street life. What once you called stars have become your roof.
You're in my house, you're in my clothes. No one knows (knows). You're in my head like a dumb song. It just goes (goes). You're on my face, you're on my lips.
There was a sun once.. It lit the whole damn sky.. It kept everything alive.. And there was a man once.. He looked it straight in the eye.. He saw everything..
You're undecided.. You ride a fence but that fence divides.. No side is still a side.. A look in your eyes says I hold myself above you.. You can't see through my skin..
A '63, 10,000 miles. What was I thinking?. . I drove myself insane. No small getaway. . Asleep with both hands on the wheel. White knuckle weekend. . Chewing ephedrine.
