Good Fucking Bye
So ya broke down trying to leave town. I
broke down crying on your return. Ya left me feeling hopeful.
I'd never see your face again. Ya made for a bad lovers liver.
Ya stole all the covers and busted my head. Ya made me such an asshole.
I wish we never met. I'm tired of being bored. I'm through
with the headaches and hiding my hands that tremble like earthquakes under
the table, under the daytime sky. Good fucking bye. When ya
lose hope it's hard to cope. Watching the tyranny with sober eyes
at daybreak and sunset. All hours in between are spent murdering
time. Ya made for a bad lovers liver. Ya stole all the covers
and fucked up my head. Ya made me such an asshole. I wish we
never met. I'm tired of being bored. I'm through with the headaches
and hiding my hands that tremble like earthquakes under the table, under
the daytime sky. Good fucking bye. Good fucking bye.
Good fucking bye.
The City That Day
Saw you standing there holding my heart.
Too many drinks pulled the words apart. But I got your name, remembered
it. Dumbfounded. I'm dumb as shit. I'm just glad that
I went to the city that day. And I saw you standing there all alone.
For some reason you were holding two coats. I asked you, "Do you
need a hand?" Ya said, "No thanks. I've got other plans."
I'm just glad that I went to the city that day. And I saw him wake
up on the sidewalk. His next drink was the topic of talk. He
said, "Give me something quick and sweet. My whole life I've lived
on the street." I'm just glad that I went to the city that day...
to the city that day... to the city that day... to the city that day.
Next To You
You're walking the thin line between here and out
of control. You kept me in mind. Ya got the papercuts to prove
it. And your sea sick smile screams sweet nausea. Seventy-six
was a good year for me. It's been uphill since. Don't... don't
cry or stop to wonder why we crashed out like thunder on the floor, or
down from the ceiling. It was nice waking up next to you. And
ya crossed the line between here and out of this world. Ya blow my
mind... (mind... mind...) like a colt 45 every time. Don't cry or
stop to wonder why we crashed out like thunder on the floor, or down from
the ceiling. It's been nice waking up next to you. Don't cry
or stop to wonder why we crashed out like thunder on the floor, or down
from the ceiling. It's been nice waking up next to you. And
our sea sick smiles are screaming home sweet home.
In Your Wake
And so it seems you were to be king for a day.
Don't let your dreams of blood hunger in the way. You know these
streets, they lay there patiently awaiting your fall... like a phone call.
And I see you've made all the right decisions. I believe your head
stone recieved the wrong inscription. Didn't read anything about
how much we miss you at all. So with a broken stick in dirt we scrawled
'Here lies our dreams come true. Here lies X's for eyes on me and
you.' Want you to know I hope you got all you wanted. Want
you to know that I took all I could take. It's been so hard to see
and breathe through all the smoke left in your wake... in your wake.
And now I see you've made all the right decisions. I believe your
head stone recieved the wrong inscription. Didn't read anything about
how much we miss you at all. With a broken stick in dirt we scrawled
'Here lies our dreams come true. Here lies X's for eyes on me and
you.' Want you to know I hope you got all you wanted. Want
you to know that I took all I could take. It's been so hard to see
and breathe through all the smoke left in your wake... in your wake...
in your wake... in your wake.
Soul To Keep (For Phyllis) (7 Seconds cover song)
I woke up from a dream, I could've sworn I heard
the phone. Fan's blowing in the corner like it does when she's at
home. Familiar desperate feeling, always cold and dark inside.
I'll probably sit here hoping soon that she'll be by my side. Yeah,
I saw her smile that chased the blues away. Her warmth will make
it all okay... cause it's one to go and one to stay. I guess it has
to be that way. I found my kindred spirit. Now she's with me
as I sleep. And it's in her hands, up to her where she'll put my
soul to keep... soul to keep. Out there in the hard world trying
to blend into the day. A thousand different faces stare... I try
to look away well. I can feel her move within me and her voice is
in my head. With that in mind I seem to find a way back home again.
Yeah, I saw her smile that chased the blues away. Her warmth will
make it all okay... cause it's one to go and one to stay. I guess
it has to be that way. I found my kindred spirit. Now she's
with me as I sleep. And it's in her hands, up to her where she'll
put my soul to keep... soul to keep... soul to keep... soul to keep...
soul to keep.
