Shiny, shiny, shiny boots of leather. Whiplash girl, child in the dark. Comes in bells, your servant, don't forsake him. Strike, dear mistress and cure his heart.
Wish that I was on old Rocky Top down in the Tennessee hills. Ain't no smoggy smoke on Rocky Top ain't no telephone bills. Once I had a girl on Rocky Top half bear the other half cat.
Things could be lazy. If they werent so crazy. I wasnt following you. Running in circles wont find me no purpose. Its right here with you and what I do.
I've been trying to say what I mean. I keep getting stuck somewhere between. All the words I've been trying to say. Are pent up and broken by the end of the day.
It's a sunny day outside. Lovely sunny day outside. Happy butterfly outside. I'm locked up inside. . I don't know if I can hear another tale. Of how amazing you can be.
I was born on the banks of the river grew up in a floatin' shack. Old Man River was my front yard we had snakes and frogs out back. I learned to cry to a steamboat whistle I cut my teets on a pal of a cat.
Give me your black lungs. And your blue eyes. And we'll trade them in for a new disguise. Give me your best bet. And your worst lie. And we'll fill them in with a straighter line.
Continued the waiting, tearing at the wing. (I lost a friend). A terrible plaything broken on a swing. (I lost a friend). Kept boxes of old days when you were afraid.
She don't claim to be the perfect one. And I don't claim to be Sir Lancelot. We ain't sure when we're positive. . It's likely that we'll sit here scratching our heads.
Quittin' time quittin' time like a big dollar bill a waitin' on a little thin dime. Quittin' time quittin' time wanna find my baby by the docks at quittin' time.
I'm running out of room, don't make me say it. There is nothing left in me, don't make me. Too much for hotel rooms, don't make me say it. Sleeping pills, don't make me.
Your body aches from all the alcohol you drank. But you tell yourself that you're still in control. This chick's been talking for so long about herself.
Went away. Haven't seen you in a while. How've you been?. Have you changed your style, and do you think. That we've grown up differently?. Don't seem the same.
Put your hand in the hand of the man who stilled the waters. Put your hand in the hand of the man who calmed the sea. Take a look at yourself, then you can look at others differently.
They call me useless, careless, nobody ought to miss. With the thing they don't understand. They call me hopeless, heartless, there's no way out of this.
Your shirts are pressed. Your words are planned. Your jeans are ripped. Your skin is tan. And like the cancer in your hands. You plague this town with schemes and plans.
I got sleep in my eyes and my bones ain't tellin' lies. Wish this rig could drive itself I'd rest a while. Can't go too fast or slow why I keep drivin' I don't know.
Not for nothing. (Star fucker, yeah). Not for nothing. (Star fucker, sucker). . Not for nothing. (Star fucker, baby). Move your stuff in. (Happiness ends).
I take a walk down to the shore. And I wonder how much longer Ill sustain these steps. Its been a month since Ive been gone. And its been a month too long since you have graced me with your presence.
She gave herself to me. She's gone away from me. Where is the heartbeat coming from?. Lost is the heartbeat where I come from. . Lie awake when the morning comes and I taste the fear.
