Lillaby Lyrics - Jack's Mannequin

these hammers and strings 

been following been following me around 

from a box filled garage 

to the the dark punk rock clubs 

of 1000 American towns 

and my friend calls me up 

she says how have you been? 

I say Dear I've been well. 

yeah the money has been coming. 

but i miss as hell 

I still hear you in this old piano, yeah 

She says Andy, I know 

that we don't talk as much 

but i sill hear your ghost 

in these old punk rock clubs 

come on write me a song 

give me something to trust 

just promise you wont let it be 

just the keys you touch 

Give me something to believe in 

a breath from breathing 

So write it down 

I don't think I'll close my eyes, 

Cause lately I've not been dreaming 

so whats the point in sleeping 

it's just that at night 

I've got no where to hide 

so I'll write you a lullaby. 

a lullaby 

these hammer and strings 

been following me around 

behind passenger vans 

to snow dirts and sands 

of 1000 American towns 

And My friends calls me up 

with her heart heavy still 

she says Andy the doctors 

prescribed me the pills 

but i know I know I'm not crazy 

I just lost my will 

so why am I why am I taking them still? 

Give me something to believe in 

a breath from breathing 

So write it down 

I don't think I'll close my eyes, 

Cause lately I've not been dreaming 

so whats the point in sleeping 

it's just that at night 

I've got no where to hide 

so I'll write you a lullaby. 

a lullaby
