Deer Tick Lyrics

If I Try To Leave lyrics - Deer Tick

If I try to leave

I won't know where I'm going

If I reach up my sleeve

I'll find my compass broken

Aw, who would take my place

If I were to go?

If I were to leave

For destinations unknown

If I try to leave

And find another future

Leave you in your grief

And other desperate measures

Some animals survive

But I only play dead

If I were to leave

From my own beloved

The same old town

But I don't make the same rounds

The same old man

But I ain't with the old crowd

I don't have to try hard

Loving you is easy

You know sometimes I wish

That you'd still try to teach me

Let love do me in

Love me 'til the end

I could never leave

You know I'd lose an old friend

The same old town

But I don't make the same rounds

The same old man

But I ain't with the old crowd

If I try to leave

I won't know where I'm going

If I reach up my sleeve

I'll find my compass broken

The same old town

But I don't make the same rounds

The same old man

But I ain't with the old crowd

Forgiving Ties lyrics - Deer Tick

I got caught between boredom and anger

A hammer came to the party to blind

All of my confidence

It had a warrant

Knocked on the door

And split open my mind

What are we doing?

Who are these people?

How did we let them get a

Word in edgewise?

I'm not looking for forgiving ties

I'm just looking for a way to survive

I and I

I'm not looking for forgiving ties

I'm just looking for a way to survive

I and I

For me, for you

And then for them, too

I got stuck in a state of reluctance

My hand was bitten by the mouth that it fed

I tried to slip back into the bathroom

A thought approached me

As my fingers bled

Who are these people?

How do they see me?

Would they get up if I

Let them down now?

I'm not looking for forgiving ties

I'm just looking for a way to survive

I and I

I'm not looking for forgiving ties

I'm just looking for a way to survive

I and I

For me, for you

And then for them, too

If they survive every buried disorder

And come to terms with a life on the ledge

I could be kind to myself in the mortar

And take a moment with the hammer again

Who are you fooling?

You're just a turnstile

I know the way

And I can see myself down the line

I'm not looking for forgiving ties

I'm just looking for a way to survive

I and I

I'm not looking for forgiving ties

I'm just looking for a way to survive

I and I

I'm not looking for forgiving ties

I'm just looking for a way to survive

I and I

For me, for you

And then for them, too

Grey Matter lyrics - Deer Tick

Sometimes you think you know who people are

Then you meet 'em and they leave you hanging in the dark

Makes me wonder how I ever could have gotten far

Come on, take a ride on a falling star

You won't regret it, the places you'll go

Never forget it, it's a hell of a show

Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home

Some come to the light, some run for the door

Let the chemical spill into your grey matter

The bomb went off and all the ashes are scattered

Just when you think that you can't get any sadder

Disaster comes so hang onto your ladder

You won't regret it, the places you'll go

Never forget it, it's a hell of a show

Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home

Some come to the light, some run for the door

You won't catch me living in the past

No, I'm still looking for a greener kind of grass

Ain't gonna find it in a looking glass

So come on, you never know if this will be your last

You won't regret it, the places you'll go

Never forget it, it's a hell of a show

Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home

Some come to the light, some run for the door

You won't regret it, the places you'll go

Never forget it, it's a hell of a show

Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home

Some come to the light, some run for the door

You won't regret it, the places you'll go

Never forget it, it's a hell of a show

Turn around, click your heels if you wanna go home

Some come to the light, some run for the door

If She Could Only See Me Now lyrics - Deer Tick

If she could only see me now

A brand new smile upon my face

I look around but she has left me no trace

If she could only see me now

The bright new colors in my eyes

To show her love that she would recognize

If she could only see me now

Now some they can survive

With a love they've gotta hide

They're lying to themselves, I know

Oh, but me, I realize

When the chance has passed me by

I see it happening all over the world

And now

Now that I've finally been set free

She'd know exactly what she means to me

If she could only see me now

Now some they can survive

With a love they've gotta hide

They're lying to themselves, oh lord

Oh, but me, I realize

When the chance has passed me by

I see it happening all over the world

If she could only see me now

Well, I wouldn't stumble on my words

And I would say it 'til the whole world heard

If she could only see me

Oh, yes I'm sure

If she could only see me

If she could only

If she could only see me now

Running From Love lyrics - Deer Tick

Every evening when the sun goes down

My soul's off speeding to the wrong part of town

Issue a grievance to the sky above

And I'm always running, running from love

I keep on running

Running from love

I keep on running

Running from love

Dead of winter, in the deepest snow

My soul is trudging down the side of the road

And my head and heart can tend to push and shove

And I'm always running, running from love

I keep on running

Running from love

I keep on running

Running from love

Running from–

I keep on running

Running from love

I keep on running

Running from love

My wings are broken

I don't see a way up (Ooh)

So I keep on running

Running from love

Once In A Lifetime lyrics - Deer Tick

No one knows how the story will unfold

And as it goes, one minute friend, one minute foe

When I saw you walk away last night I realized

How strange it felt to me when you left my side

And it didn't feel right

Once in a lifetime

Never looking back again

Now is the right time

If there's anything you've longed to share

No one knows where in the world we're supposed to go

Confusion grows like a black hole taking everything and so

While I've got you near I begin to understand

It's perfectly clear

That this could be our only chance

Once in a lifetime

Never looking back again

Now is the right time

If there's anything you've longed to share

I don't know why, but I feel more

(Ooh la la la, ooh la la la)

Than all the love I've had before

(Ooh la la la, ooh la la la)

I'm hanging on your every word

And this you realize I'm sure

Once in a lifetime

Never looking back again

Now is the right time

If there's anything you've longed to share

Once in a lifetime

Never looking back again

Now is the right time

If there's anything you've longed to share

Once in a lifetime

(Once in a lifetime)

Once in a lifetime

(Now is the right time)

Once in a lifetime

(Now is the right time

If there's anything you've longed to share)

Once in a lifetime

Never looking back again

Now is the right time

If there's anything you've longed to share

Once in a lifetime

Disgrace lyrics - Deer Tick

I had a dream that you were back

Full of sex and betrayal

Not that you'd know about it, anyway

Unless I mentioned it to you

In the moment I was changed

After waking up

Before the shame all fades away

Don't let your disgrace go free

Just use your enemy

Don't let your disgrace go free

Woo, hoo, hoo

And all the choices you have made

That may have left you changed

Your companion, your regret stays the same

But now we're ripping up the road

With a charming sense of strength

Now that I see

That the holes demand the faith

Don't let your disgrace go free

Just use your enemy

Don't let your disgrace go free

Woo, hoo, hoo

If pain is a hanger on

I want to feel sad and strong

I've got to be moving on

I've got no time to waste

Don't let your disgrace go free

Just use your enemy

Don't let your disgrace go free

Woo, hoo, hoo

Don't let your disgrace go free

Just use your enemy

Don't let your disgrace go free

Woo, hoo, hoo

My Ship lyrics - Deer Tick

It's been a long time

Since I saw you

Where've you been?

Man, you grew

I've been hanging by a thread

Night is young, you're here instead

Of the places you should be

Would you even know it's me?

You've come a long way

You've changed your name

I come here every day

And nothing's changed

I've been losing all my bets

Living with a few regrets

Oh, the time, it seemed so free

Would you even recognize me?

At night's first call

It's happy hour

Gazing from

My lonely tower

I've been waiting for my ship

Yours came fast and you left quick

Without a glance, not a word

And I know you won't return

It's been a long time

A Light Can Go Out In The Heart lyrics - Deer Tick

I'm left with my last drop

I know I'll leave you with scars

In the face of even cancer

Sometimes a light can go out in the heart

Some decades we mastered

Some of their birthdays were duds

We never found that magic marker

Sometimes a light can go out in the heart

You and I were the glass knot

All twisted heat in the sun

It wasn't love, it wasn't madness

Sometimes a light can go out in the heart

A race that's too close to judge, now

At a pace that ain't fun

Now your life has no particular reason

And love is the happiest loser

It's still painful to watch it run

Run away

Such beautiful roses

So many graves left to fill

But those couldn't fool us

Sometimes a light can go out in the heart

Even still, a light can go out in the heart

The Real Thing lyrics - Deer Tick

I guess I've settled for half of what I need

You burned through me like wildfire

And there ain't nothing new to see

I've given half my life away wondering which direction's home

With a jagged piece of you somewhere

Stuck deep into my soul

You know how it feels

Can't get no relief

This couldn't be real

But it feels like the real thing

The real thing

I guess I always thought that I'd have my second chances

The days are now so precious

The timeline keeps advancing

Just behind the door, I thought, were the answers to my questions

All I wanted was a clean break

But ended up here in a mess

You know how it feels

To be brought to your knees

This couldn't be real

But the heartache, it feels like the real thing

The real thing

Always searching

Never finding

Always somewhere else

I think

You know how it feels

This couldn't be real

But it feels like the real thing

You know how it feels

Can't get no relief

This couldn't be real

But it feels like the real thing

The real thing

You know how it feels

To be brought to your knees

This couldn't be real

But the heartache, it feels like the real thing

The real thing

Born At Zero lyrics - Deer Tick

You're coming back, I don't know why I feel so bad

Oh, a picture always hurts more than words

You're born at zero and dead at 23

Ain't it fucking cold and the dirt comes free

You make it clear, you take me as insincere

A picture I can't live without seeing

Oh, you made your point, I never robbed you of a choice

And I can hear a longing in your voice

I'm a sorry mess to see your face

I wanna hold you close, but I push you away

I wanna feel your skin upon my skin

But I'm not feeling great about letting you in

Close your eyes, it's just about time to speak

Our dreams only come true in better dreams

I dream of me in the middle of a rugged street

Oh, praying to God that one day I'll be clean

Oh, look at the clock, I wish it was a time machine

And I could've been anything [?]

I'm a sorry mess to see your face

I wanna hold you close, but I push you away

I wanna feel your skin upon my skin

But I'm not feeling great about letting you in

Born at zero and dead at 23

Ain't it fucking cold and the dirt comes free

Bury Deep lyrics - Deer Tick

(originally by Ian O'Neil)

Well I see the night is bringing down the sun

And I taste salt like I'm sucking where a bee stung

And a man wakes up with a throat of sand

To choke away a life he says he can't stand

Now every window that I look through

Moves so fast that I can't seem to reach you

And I will forget every sin that I regret

And I'll bury deep every lover true or cheap

And it's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

It's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

Now the streets become all stale again

And I'll smile cold and let darkness steal an old friend

And I'll taste your love when I get home

And your lips will know enough to speak what I know

Now everybody that I look through

Moves so slow that I can't seem to touch you

And I will forget every sin that I regret

And I'll bury deep every lover true or cheap

And it's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

It's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

And I will forget every sin that I regret

And I'll bury deep every lover true or cheap

And it's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

It's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

Cake And Eggs lyrics - Deer Tick

Well Heaven's a beach

Just you and me

Laying in a bed of sand

With a blanket and a cooler

And a 12 inch ruler

Try to catch us if you can

Life is a party

And you can cry if you want to

But you're the only invitee

Sometimes it's cake

Sometimes it's eggs

But your the only thing I eat

And you can count on me

When your in a jam and you need a hand I'm free

When your in jail and can't make bail

I've got the money

People come and people go

Nothing ever stays the same

But the only thing that'll never change

Is that your always on my brain

And this old house

Could fall down

And the town could bottom out

But I don't care

If I had you dear-we'll do our lovin' somewhere else

You can count on me

When your in a jam and you need a hand I'm free

When your in jail and you can't make bail I've got the money

Foot massage, mowing the lawn

Any little thing you want

I'd do it in an instant

For gravy and biscuits

So baby, turn that oven on

You can count on me

When your in a jam and you need a hand I'm free

When you're in jail and you can't make bail I've got the money

Dancing In The Dark lyrics - Deer Tick

I get up in the evening

And I ain't got nothing to say

I come home in the morning

I go to bed feeling the same way

I ain't nothing but tired

Man I'm just tired and bored

With myself

Hey there baby

I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire

Without a spark

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer

Radio's on

And I'm moving 'round the place

I check my look in the mirror

I wanna change my clothes

My hair, my face

Man I ain't getting nowhere

I'm just living in a dump

Like this

There's something

Happening somewhere

Baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire

Without a spark

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older

There's a joke here somewhere

And it's on me

I'll shake this world off

My shoulders

Come on baby this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town

And they'll be

Carving you up alright

They say you gotta stay hungry

Hey baby I'm just about

Starving tonight

I'm dying for some action

I'm sick of sitting 'round here

Trying to write this book

I need a love reaction

Come on now baby gimme

Just one look

You can't start a fire

Sitting 'round crying over

A broken heart

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

You can't start a fire worrying

About your little world

Falling apart

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Hey baby

Mr. Cigarette lyrics - Deer Tick

He's the starving man's supper

He's the tired man's rest

He's the selfish man's possession

The hopeless man's best bet

He's the quiet man's conversation

He's the cold man's blanket

He's the lonely man's companion

Mr. Cigarette

He's the lost man's road map

He's the driving man's jet

He's the poor man's t.v. set

He's the frightened man's courage

The beaten man's comeback

He's the lonely man's companion

Mr. Cigarette

Tar Nicotine, Tar Nicotine

Cancer, I die! Ho, ho ho!

Tar Nicotine, Tar Nicotine

Cancer of the Soul

He's the bleeding man's bandage

He's the angry man's regret

He's the fallen man's redemption

The slighted man's revenge

He's the inmate's currency

He's the dying man's last request

He's the loveless man's good-night kiss

Mwah!

Mr. Cigarette

Rough Around The Edges lyrics - Deer Tick

(originally by John McCauley)

Pulled in to meet you, windows down

Duct taped mirrors, exhaust pourin' out

Always late, never unwound

When will I learn to shut my mouth?

Guess I'm rough

Rough around the edges

Honey, I'm rough

Rough around the edges

You find the beauty in the simple things

In desert sunsets and in movie scenes

I see the flaws and all the in betweens

The past was cruel and it caught up with me

I guess I'm rough

Rough around the edges

Honey, I'm rough

Rough around the edges

Curtains closed so I can sleep in late

Nothin' on the TV, but it always plays

Dirty dishes, butts in the ash try

Don't feel like pickin' up the damn phone today, no

I'm feelin' rough

Rough around the edges

Honey, I'm rough

Rough around the edges

If I let you down, baby, don't take it too hard

When my mind becomes a question mark

When I want closure, then I get confused

Don't believe in much, but I believe in you

I'm just rough

Rough around the edges

Yeah, I'm rough

Rough around the edges

She's Not Spanish lyrics - Deer Tick

I went out walking and you were not there

They say you look familiar, famous and destined to win

And they say you look Spanish with your long dark hair

Well I may agree, but you do not see what I do

And I know you're alone

While you wait for me at home

But I'll make you see

You're not Spanish to me

And I know that it's hard to see a change in me

But I'd rather be home, in a kitchen with nothing to do

And a lie is a failure and I'd fail if I say

That I know the truth, that I have the answers for you

But you know I'm alone

While you wait for me at home

But I'll make them see

She's not Spanish to me

So, Lord, let me dream and draw pictures of her

I'm faithful you know, the purity carried me through

And truth spoke in anger is a means to an end

Thread from the spool, drawing me back home to you

But you know I'm alone

While you wait for me at home

But I'll make you see

You're not Spanish to me

(originally by Pogues)

Here a tower shinning bright
Once stood gleaming in the night
Where now there's just the rubble
In the hole here the paddies and the frogs
Came to gamble on the dogs
Came to gamble on the dogs not long ago

Oh the torn up ticket stubs
From a hundred thousand mugs
Now washed away with dead dreams in the rain
And the car-parks going up
And they're pulling down the pubs
And it's just another bloody rainy day

Oh sweet city of my dreams
Of speed and skill and schemes
Like Atlantis you just disappeared from view
And the hare upon the wire
Has been burnt upon your pyre
Like the black dog that once raced out from trap two

Run Of The Mill lyrics - Deer Tick

(originally by George Harrison)

Everyone has choice
When to and not to raise their voices
It's you decides
Which way will you turn
While feeling that our love's not your concern
It's you decides

No one around you
Will carry the pain for you
No one around you
Will love you today and throw it all away

Tomorrow when you rise
Another day for you to realize me
Or send me down again
As the days stand up on end
You've got me wondering how I lost your friendship
But I've seen it in your eyes

Though I'm beside you
I can't carry the lame for you
I may decide to
Get out with your blessing
Where I'll carry on guessing

How high will you leap
Will you make enough for you to reap it?
Only you'll arrive
At your own made end
With no one but yourself to be offended
It's you decides

Strange, Awful Feeling lyrics - Deer Tick

I lost you while staring at a wall
No mirrors work, this change was inevitable
What a strange and awful feeling
Such a strange and awful feeling
I don't want you to know

Identity flirts with identity down in the blood
You're changing yourself not for you but for who you were
What a strange and awful feeling
Such a strange and awful feeling
I don't want you to know

It's known I've walked this road before
And rapped upon the devil's door
To see if he'd let an old friend in again

Sink inconsistently into the mist of my shroud
My fingers are blistered, I hope I ain't thinking aloud

I see you when you're sleeping
I know when you're awake
I don't want you to know

We stare at the faith we left waiting to rust in the hall
Our land is in pain and the future is stuck in the doorway
What a strange and awful feeling
Such a strange and awful feeling
I don't want you to know

Hey! Yeah! lyrics - Deer Tick

Don't make me wait, another day
I'm awake now, and I can see
That the heart, it knows what it wants
And takes what it needs, won't you take me please?

Hey, what a shame
Can you take me to a higher plane
I can think think of nothing
That ever seemed to keep you down
Yeah, so it seems
That I'm beggin' for your company
You're the only peace of mind
I think I've ever found

They might set me up
Just to beat me down
They might wish me luck
Before they kick me out
Let me stand
Down in your shade
Just give me the word
I'll be your runaway

Hey, what a shame
Can you take me to a higher plane
I can think think of nothing
That ever seemed to keep you down
Yeah, so it seems
That I'm beggin' for your company
You're the only peace of mind
I think I've ever found

Hey, what a shame
Can you take me to a higher plane
I can think think of nothing
That ever seemed to keep you down
Yeah, so it seems
That I'm beggin' for your company
You're the only peace of mind
I think I've ever found

Hey, what a shame
Can you take me to a higher plane
I can think think of nothing
That ever seemed to keep you down
Yeah, so it seems
That I'm beggin' for your company
You're the only peace of mind
I think I've ever found

And I can think of nothing
That ever seemed to keep you down
No I can think of nothing
That ever seemed to keep you down

Cocktail lyrics - Deer Tick

I started missing the days
Where as soon as I'd wake
I'd make a cocktail
I'd spend the time that you took
Giving me dirty looks
With my cocktail

And just like every love affair
Well the fault in my armor shows
And the boat is shot full of holes
And I get a little green
I could be dancing on one leg
And enjoying the masquerade
But I'm not making any lemonade
But I got lemons if you need

In my meandering way
I'd sing a serenade and sip a cocktail
My very own world view I'd tell the people I knew
Through a cocktail

Who can you turn to
When the world is bleeding you dry?
Man, they'll turn you loose
And watch you wither in the daylight
Sometimes I feel like a corpse
With a lifetime subscription
Just a strange proposition
Or a thankless sacrifice

Now how is every day the same
In a variety of places?
All the dull and empty spaces
In the middle of a crowd
I could be slipping off the wing of a dove
Or tied up onto the train tracks
But either way I ain't coming back
The only way out is down
Yeah, the only way out, my friend
Is falling down

"Deer Tick, Vol. 2" (2017)

Don't Hurt lyrics - Deer Tick

I'm not sure if I'm entitled
To anything I feel
Only friends that I can trust
Are my four spinning wheels
One more curve and maybe it won't hurt
They'll find you in my wake
Forget my face, I'm just a name
I smiled by mistake

So what hurts in your long and quiet hours?
If I bite, all my wounds are tasting sour

I can't explain what I became
Or who I saw in you
But above the clouds hanging in the air
It wouldn't be much use
"Come on, John, sing your stupid song"
You can fake the whole way through
Don't you want to escape and make your own fate?
And fade into the blue?

Now what hurts in your long and quiet hours?
If I bite, all my wounds are tasting sour

Now I'm the only one
And you're the only one

Jumpstarting lyrics - Deer Tick

Afraid to say that you need a jumpstarting
Anything to get you off of that cross
If you feel like your friends are parting
I can be your rock

Afraid to say that there are no more chances
There were all yesterdays to lose
If the world doesn't leave you enchanted
I'll be there for you

And if they really don't know
And if they really don't care
Well if they don't know or care
I care

It seems to me like you're feeling so sorry
Like a string of old rosary beads
Tucked away let them be forgotten
And I'll be your beliefs

I know you may find the darkness soothing
You think you need it no matter what the cost
The hands of the clock don't seem to be moving
But you can't find time to get lost

And if they really don't know
And if they really don't care
Well if they don't know or care
I care
Care

Well if they really don't know
Well if they really don't care

Well if they really don't know
Well if they really don't care
Well if they don't know or care
I care
Yeah

Well if they really don't know
Well if they really don't care
Well if they don't know or care
I care
Care

Afraid to say that there are no more chances
There were all yesterdays to lose
If the world doesn't leave you enchanted
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you
I'll be there for you

Look How Clean I Am lyrics - Deer Tick

I guess it kinda started like some motion disease
Uncomfortable but certain that you've become a sleaze
Accomplished all my dreams, man, look what I done?
They're looking back at me saying "time to have some fun"

Look how clean I am!
Look how clean I am!
Look how clean I am!
Look how clean I am!

I'm tired and I'm hungry and I cannot think straight
I'm streaming on my television waiting for the sweat to break
Changing all my covers, be best that I can be
I'm staring down the barrel of a well adjusted legacy

Look how clean I am!
Look how clean I am, man!

Yes you can have can a cigarette, I cannot stand to smoke
You're swimming in sobriety, I guess I missed the boat
So feeling unproductive with nothing on tv
I'm looking up a restaurant to wallow in publicity

Look how clean I am!
Well look how strong I am!
And look how dumb I am!
Yeah look how clean I am!

It's A Whale lyrics - Deer Tick

Heading nowhere
With the last of my kind
I'm a martyr
And I live on borrowed time
And I'm fine
Hey!

Atta girl
Atta boy
I love to see you fall in line
Fall in line

Heading nowhere
With the last of my kind
I'm a martyr
And I live on borrowed time
And I'm fine
Hey!

Atta girl
Atta boy
I love to see you fall in line

Tiny Fortunes lyrics - Deer Tick

Can you believe what he did to himself
Spent tiny fortunes on power and pills
I know you wanted to have it some other way
Cut it out, get the keys, let me stay

Way up under this mountain of scum
We look up at the strangers above
I know you want to have it some other way
Cut it out, get the car, let me stay

Well I've been looking at the blacktop
Waiting for you
Well you can't understand it
You can't handle that I
Was having a good time, while you
Were having a hard time
But you were having a good time too

Reflect the painful, reflect the good
Of our reflection, reflect as you should
I know you wanted to have it some other way
Cut it out, get the keys, let me stay

Well I've been looking at the blacktop
Waiting for you
Well you can't understand it
You can't handle that I
Was having a good time, while you
Were having a hard time
But you were having a good time too

Well I was having a good time
You were having a hard time
I was having a good time
You were having a good time too

Sloppy lyrics - Deer Tick

You've got a way with words
You've got away with murder
You've got an itchy finger
Even when your brain's the trigger

Even in disgrace, you can be afraid
Paint it on your face, you can stand in place
You can ride the merry-go-round
It don't stop, it don't wait

You've got an accusation
You've got a sound solution
You've got an execution
Sloppy in its execution

Even in disgrace, you can be afraid
Paint it on your face, you can stand in place
You can ride the merry-go-round
And don't stop, it don't wait

You've gotta find the button
You've got a broad assumption
You've got a business luncheon
In your companion's dungeon

Even in disgrace, you can be afraid
Paint it on your face, you can stand in place
You can ride the merry-go-round
And don't stop, it don't wait

Wants / Needs lyrics - Deer Tick

Take anything you want
We've got everything you need
It's all free of charge
No purchase's necessary

She want a brand new car
And I need a brand new soul
I pull the pin to her heart
Sit back and watch her explode

Grab all your arms can carry
'Cause this deal's a steal
Participation may vary
Come down and spin the wheel

She need a brand new heart
And I want a bag of coal
I put a dent in her car
Whenever I lost control

Hanging ten off of a cliff's edge
You wish that you could fly away
Like an extraterrestrial being from outer space

She need a UFO
And I need a brand new brain
This is a horror show
Gotta fix the window-pane

S.M.F. lyrics - Deer Tick

I'd be better off stoned
It wouldn't hurt me to listen
Well I'm not trying
To make some noise tonight

You're the last man standing
Down at the shitty music festival
Such an honor to meet you
What an honor for me
To shake your hand

To be loved by someone
Feels pretty good
But you hate it, I knew you would
To be liked by someone
Feels pretty nice
But your hate is so exciting

You'd be better off home
You didn't come here to listen
No, you're just trying
To get with a friend tonight

Now when the last band plays
Down at the shitty music festival
Well, you'll come down
To the after party glow

To be loved by someone
Feels pretty good
But you hate it, I knew you would
To be liked by someone
Feels pretty nice
But your hate is so exciting

You might be better off stoned
You might be better off stoned
Might be better off stoned
Better off stoned

Down at the silent disco
Hey that's some real rock n' roll
Under a silvery moon
Your ride's lights are acid trails

To be loved by someone
Feels pretty good
But you hate it, I knew you would
To be liked by someone
Feels pretty nice
But your hate is so exciting

Mr. Nothing Gets Worse lyrics - Deer Tick

Yeah I'll make a crash landing on an army site, I'll
Step in your cake and I'll ruin your party
And if nothing comes out well I maybe shouldn't speak
And I'll live my damn life, fall down when I please
But you can't be with from [?]
Somethin' I said, the money on Friday
Every ball I know well they never did blame me
The door's slammed shut, you know it's never gonna change me

Nothing you've seen and nothing you've heard
Nothing gets better, Mr. Nothing Gets Worse

Had my fall and I can't get up
My hands on backwards and my eyes are glued shut
Got lost halfway down the pumpkin trail
Threw in a key to my skeleton jail
Nothing but silence on my radio waves
Musta slipped my mind well today, today
Feeding our feelings to the ceiling fan
There's birds in the bush, there's nothing in my hand

Like nothing you've seen and nothing you've heard
Nothing gets better, Mr. Nothing Gets Worse

Well [?] won't you take me to your room
Got a [?]
I swear that I read, I just bought a book
But I left it in my car, institutions are the worst
Forget all the kids with the college diplomas
Thought that I knew but I guess I don't wanna
Get ready for the worst 'cause I know that I'm the best
Like a child with the door and I'm just a sticky mess

Like nothing you've seen and nothing you've heard
Nothing gets better, Mr. Nothing Gets Worse

Come on, party!

"Deer Tick, Vol. 1" (2017)

Sea Of Clouds lyrics - Deer Tick

They worked me over, there was nothing they could see
I hid it all behind my eyes
Somewhere in a fog of a million pleasantries
I kept my secret safe inside

When we were younger and we couldn't help but dream
I couldn't keep you in my life
As we get older now, I cannot help but think
We've all just settled for a lie

Well, hello to your sea of clouds
Tell me are you ever coming down
Tell me how you never hit the ground
Tell me how you live your life so easily
As a memory

Did we make promises or did we just pretend
Before you slipped away one night
It feels like a movie and long before the end
Someone turns on all the lights

So I played the beginning, again and again
'Til there was nothing more that I could find
Whatever you needed from me, I'm not sure
I only wish I had complied

Well, hello to your sea of clouds
Tell me are you ever coming down
Tell me how you never hit the ground
Tell me how you live your life so easily
As a memory

Come work me over, cause I do not wish to hide
I hide it all behind my eyes
As we get older now, can you not help but cry?
We've all just settled for a lie

Well, hello to your sea of clouds
Tell me are you ever coming down
Tell me how you never hit the ground
Tell me how you live your life so easily
As a memory

Well, hello to your sea of clouds
Tell me are you ever coming down
Tell me how you never hit the ground
Tell me how you live your life so...

Card House lyrics - Deer Tick

If I lose another pound
I'm heading underground
I'm out of place in my own skin
How the pit of my heart
Got its pitiful start
Well, we may always ponder that

Pass the bomb from one to the other
We're in love it's the only bother
Once upon a time we had lightning in a bottle
Now next time you tip the bottle up you'll see it's running dry

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground

Chills down your spine and a
Mouthful of flies and you
Cannot identify the cause
But everybody knows
You've been too long exposed
To my cellular assaults

Taking turns to scrape the bottom
We're so in love in tainted waters
Once upon a time we had lightning in a bottle
Now next time you tip the bottle up you'll see it's running dry

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground

Once you put the roof on the top of your card house
I'll make all the walls fall down
You can sail away on the finest timbers
I can run your ship aground

Doomed From The Start lyrics - Deer Tick

Now the clouds, they box me in
No virgin light on my virgin skin
Another lie for another win
Reconsider your next of kin

All the people that you trust
Are they like me? They've all gone nuts

Now the rainbow has turned to dust
Paper trails have been turning up
Dogs will fight over mostly piss
But when they're hungry, it's mostly this

All the people who say they love you
Sue each other, the fault is on you

Looking past all the red tape
I can see your life's drifting away

All God's children
Who throw around their weight
Like overgrown children
We're all bound to break

Now the moon, she seems so far
Like pawn shop walls and their guitars
Maybe dad makes me throw a punch
Maybe I have grown up enough

All the people who wanna claim blood
They can't sweep it under their rugs

All God's children
Who throw around their weight
Like overgrown children
We're all bound to break

Hope Is Big lyrics - Deer Tick

Happy Birthday Black Sun of my cancerous blood
Will you please feed me my tube
So many oceans to swim but I lost my will to swim
Hope is big but they're always gonna win

I felt a cool breeze on my invalid knees
It reminded me of our kiss in the summer
Vicarious like my grandmothers kiss at Christmas
Hope is big, but they're always gonna win

Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Yeah, they're always gonna win

All the ashes were red, the firetrucks lost in it
A tombstone flickered on the Fourth of July
Janitor keys jingle jangle the loneliest tune
Hope is big but we're always gonna lose

Now you're up and you're out of your impervious doubt
And your love, it won't bring us the truth
And I hear rats in moonlight tangled up in a fight
Hope is big but they're always gonna win

Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Yeah they're always gonna win

Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Hope is big, ho-o-ope, it's so big
Yeah they're always gonna win

Only Love lyrics - Deer Tick

Working on the courage to cross that line
I can see a storm cloud swirling in your mind
Take me down a notch or crumble my tower
Just give me a couple days and start swinging your hammer

'Cause it's only love, so don't be afraid
It will let you down, but not today
It's only love, only love
It won't let you down until tomorrow

Working on my plan to settle my bones
Dropping my mask and let my tired eyes show
I could feel the truth about to fall like rain
Playing house is starting feel like pain

But it's only love, so don't be afraid
It will let you down, but not today
It's only love, only love
It won't let you down until tomorrow

One last night I know
One last chance I've blown
One more night before we dig up what we've sown
And speak of what we've always known

That it's only love, so don't be afraid
It will let you down, but not today
It's only love, only love
It won't let you down until tomorrow

Only love, so don't be afraid
It will let you down, but not today
It's only love, only love
It won't let you down until tomorrow

Cocktail lyrics - Deer Tick

Me And My Man lyrics - Deer Tick

Me and my man goes walking 'round the block
Me and my man ain't got time to stop and talk
Got too many games to play
Oh boy, my man looks after me

Me and my man
Me and my main man
Me and my man
Me and my main man
Running fast
Catch us if you can

Me and my man, we always have a ball
Might hear us howling as we're headed up the hall
Got too many games to play
Oh boy, my man looks after me

Me and my man
Me and my main man
Me and my man
Me and my main man
Running fast
Catch us if you can

Well even I will have my day
I scratch and claw to get my way
Come closer, I won't bite
It feels so good to have me in the fight

Me and my man
Me and my main man
Me and my man
Me and my main man
Me and my man
Me and my main man
Running fast
Catch us if you can

End Of The World lyrics - Deer Tick

Don't hang around, son, blacked out by fear
All bits of reason are lost in a smear
Out of our reach, and beyond our ideas
There's a world we all seek that's beginning to tear

Don't mess around, son, we will need you here
The dust's about to fall and the smoke's about to clear
Far from the edge 'neath a sky, dull and drear
Never to free your soul from its toils and its snares

Out with the old and in with the blue
I surmise I won't have any answers for you

Climb the walls, there's no lesson in this scrawl
I am sure I don't have any answers at all

Should you accept you were holding the gun
Meditation, aggravation, makes it all come undone

Out with the old and in with the blue
I've been told I don't have any graces, it's true

Limp Right Back lyrics - Deer Tick

I'm sick of shaking hands
I'm feeling all too weathered
I can't count the ways
That we've become untethered
But I can limp right back
I'll put things back together

If you're gone, it's alright
There are roses on the vine
And I was made to march on
'Til the end of me

I'd blow away your tears
And suffer for your pleasure
Been tossed around before
And lost just like a feather
So I will limp right back
I put things back together

If you're gone, it's alright
There are roses on the vine
And I was made to march on
'Til the end of me

Through sickness and in health
The friends I know so well
Pain, blame
Means to satisfy

Through sickness and in health
The friends I know so well
Pain, blame
Means to satisfy

I'm sick of shaking hands
I'm feeling all too weathered
I can't count the ways
That we've become untethered
But I can limp right back
I'll put things back together

If you're gone, it's alright
There are roses on the vine
And I was made to march on
'Til the end of me

Rejection lyrics - Deer Tick

If I send a dream down the pipe, where's it go
Down to a pile at the bottom of a hole
I will give you my hand, I will give you control
You can try to buy back what you've already sold

I don't wanna feel like a reject today
I don't wanna live like that
Burn another page from that playbook baby
I don't wanna live like that

If I send a dream down the pipe, where's it go
Down to the fire and it turns into smoke
I will give you the keys to a happier home
There'll be no one around to tell you just what you owe

I don't wanna feel like a reject today
I don't wanna live like that
Burn another page from that playbook baby
I don't wanna live like that

I don't wanna feel like a reject today
I don't wanna live like that
Burn another page from that playbook baby
I don't wanna live like that

"Negativity" (2013)

The Rock lyrics - Deer Tick

My love for you is old, but new.
I'd give the rock to only you.
It is the piece that can't break through
The window of our love. [x3]

Don't paint my picture
Sleeping on the ground
Come on! Little sister,
You know what you have found
The heart, beaten like a sinner.
The sweat, melting like a bad trip.
Uuuuu, the rock sits there dead!

Don't hold me closer
It's all too sweet to last.
Come on! Fellow gonner,
The glory days have passed
the lungs, crazy for your perfume
the tongue, praying for renewal
Uuuuu, the rock no interest.

Don't paint my picture
Sleeping on the ground
Come on! Little sister,
You know what you have found.

The Curtain lyrics - Deer Tick

The excuses turn to makeup
And know what man I am
I boast my silly knowledge
And crucify my friends
It's only looking back
On my crooked footprints
I break myself a promise
Not to do that again

The stage hands are all gone
The curtain still remains
It hides the puppeteer
Oh, pulling on my strings
I could swear I'm in control
I could make a judge convinced
But I know my spirit quit
I don't wanna be
Your bargaining chip

The organ pleases no one
The piano is pulling teeth
The guitar is strung with nothing
And never makes a beep
It's only now I laugh
While the master takes a break
Who's counting all those tickets
Who's drooling on the stage

The sound men are all gone
The curtain still remains
It hides the puppeteer
Oh, pulling on my strings
I could swear I'm in control
I could make a judge convinced
But I know my spirit quit
I don't wanna be
Your bargaining chip

The stage hands are all gone
The curtain still remains
It hides the puppeteer
Pulling on my strings
I could swear I'm in control
I could make a judge convinced
But I know that my spirit quit
I don't wanna be
Your bargaining chip
Your bargaining chip

Just Friends lyrics - Deer Tick

When you stare from across the room
I can't tell if you're looking at me
Or just looking through

The others celebrate the end of the work week
But it's Tuesday for me and you
To say that we're just friends would never do us justice
We're a couple of gems
Swept into the dust bin

When you pay your respects to the past
I can't tell if it's a nervous laugh
And you think we could have made it last

The others frail and they cut of their tails
Their dreams dance to death in their glass
We're more than just dreamers when we ourselves believe it
We have the rest of our lives
Just gotta reach out and steal it

You're sending me up the river
I can't seem to remember
That you said he just needed a friend
Just a friend

When you speak are you holding back?
It's all I've asked between now and the past
I'd love to hear you answer that

They'll turn on the lights and we'll say our good nights
Though they're not good enough to last
While I'm tossing and turning, is your love burning, or have we layed it to rest?
Are we really just friends?
Are we really just friends?

The Dream's In The Ditch lyrics - Deer Tick

Well the dream's in the ditch
Now the kids are all pissed
But its not new to hate what they make you do
First they pull all your teeth
Then they'll want you to eat
Well get over it kid
You don't want any part in it

But its not the way you cant afford your time
Or the envy of the friends you've left behind
So whenever you go they can have everything you lose
Is this it? This is it

So they paid you to scream
But it buried your dreams
So you wait for the pain
That will send you to sleep again
Now you walk with your wolves
Like you got nothing to lose
Act like you don't care
While you pray for a cross to bear

But its not the way you cant afford your time
Or the envy of the friends you've left behind
So whenever you go they can have everything you lose
Is this it? This is it

Is this it?
Is this it?
This is it!

But its not the way you cant afford your time
Or the envy of the friends you've left behind
So whenever you go they can have everything you lose
This is it. Is this it?

Mirror Walls lyrics - Deer Tick

I never call your name
I just whisper
I never lose my skin
I just blister

Tell me that a promise never hurt
Tell me that success was your reason for concern

I never curse your name
I just joke
I never cut no corners
I just hope

Tell me that our time was not spent in vain
Tell me I can sop it up and save it from the drain

Lived in walls made of mirrors
Dialin out for calls
Laugh at all you sinners
The tv station's always wrong
The coffee never takes too long
Moving on
Give my regards to the maid
You're no face

I left the porch light on
In case you showed up
I cut my credit cards
And tried to grow up

Tell me you can keep me in this world
Tell me I can eat your dirt and come up with a pearl

Lived in walls made of mirrors
Dialin out for calls
Laugh at all you sinners
The tv station's always wrong
The coffee never takes too long
Moving on
Give my regards to the maid
You're no face

Lived in walls made of mirrors
Dialin out for calls
Laughed at all you sinners
The tv station's always wrong
The coffee never takes too long
Moving on
Give my regards to the maid
You're no face

Mr. Sticks lyrics - Deer Tick

A keeper’s cell, yeah, keep it narrow
Come and see the ugly things that life can bring
I’m out of my skull, my edges though
Waiting for a day and a claim to stake

Oh, Mr. Sticks, with the hug and kiss
You may say goodbye to all you’ve ever known
Oh, Mr. Mist, how’s your life like this?
Oh, the light that’s at the end is the star of the show

But baby cries and an old man dies
So cross your fingers tight and you’ll freeze time
A son gives his hand, a daughter gives her hand
Well, you see the change in the world for your littlest girl

Oh, Mr. Sticks, with the hug and kiss
You may say goodbye to all you’ve ever known
Oh, Mr. Mist, with a life like this
Oh, the light that’s at the end is the star of the show

If my heart goes, ‘fore my lungs blow
I can see a sudden match until death

Oh, Mr. Sticks, with the hug and kiss
You may say goodbye to all you’ve ever known
Oh, Mr. Mist, how’s your life like this?
Oh, the light that’s at the end is the star of the show

Oh, the light that’s at the end is the star of the show

Trash lyrics - Deer Tick

Think it's gonna snow
Think I'll stay home
The thought of goin' out
Sends chills down my back bone
Look round the house
Lookin for the past
I wanted too much more
and now look where I'm at
look where I'm at

When the sun will shine
and I can see the grass
bid you siyonara
and pack my tracks
look around the bars
check every show
just to reconfirm that it's my time to go
my time to go

[Chorus:]
Where's all the romance that I used to know?
I wanna fall in love again with the open road
the open road

Think I'm gonna stop
Think I'm gonna rest
Wicked man is tired
and he don't wanna jest
Get what I want
say what I can
I guess it's no surprise when I show up again
show up again

don't dig the food
don't want the drink
dry out in style
waste all my ink
I'm checkin out past noon
bill me if you want
it's my disposition as a wasteful savant
as a wasteful savant

[Chorus:]
Where's all the romance that I used to know?
I wanna fall in love again with the open road
the open road

Thyme lyrics - Deer Tick

Take your time
But if you waste it
Take mine too
I don’t mind
As long as you and me are in tune
You’re mine
My brain’s a hazy place these days

Take your clothes off
Climb up into my bed
I'll take your money
I'll steal your oxygen
Can you see?
All of my boundless treachery

I felled a zero, at least it must have been
You’re just a hero, I need a heroine
Unchained black melodies gaining strain

I don’t mind the circle
It don’t mean to boast
But you’re divine
You got me feelin’ comatose
My friend, I fear we’re drawing near the end
I watched the shadows
Dance across the walls
I followed blindly
Chasing down the halls
I see
Monsters in my peripheries

Take your time
But if you waste it
Take mine too
I don’t mind
As long as you and me are in tune
You’re mine
My brain’s a hazy place these days

In Our Time lyrics - Deer Tick

Back in the days
When we used to dance
You chuckle every time that I misstep

Now that we're older
And our hairs get grey
You never cut me slack for my mistakes
You know I never meant to sink to such depths
Why would I jeopardize what we built behind that fence?
Stay with me baby when you can
Its a pain to see but I'm still your man

Back in our time
Before the children
We were all the envy of our friends
Then we were blessed
3 little babies
Whatever broke we built it up again

You know I never meant to sink to the bottom
Why would I jeopardize what I built as a father?
Stay with me on some lost weekend
It's a pain to see but our hearts we can mend

Back in the days
When we used to dance
You'd chuckle every time that I misstep
Now that we're older
And our hairs get grey
You never cut me slack for my mistakes
You know I never meant to sink to such depths
Why would I jeopardize what we built behind that fence?
Stay with me baby when you can
It's a pain to see but you're still my man
It's a pain to see but I'm still your man

Hey Doll lyrics - Deer Tick

1,2,3

I used to know you, perhaps too well
All my emotions were puzzled 'neath your spell
When you roamed, I felt high
And your place was all my pride
Catch my breath
Sweet goodbyes
Waste of all my time

I get so down on myself
You talk like somebody else
It ain't like that when we're apart
What happened doll?

Used to know ya... all too well
I wouldn't control ya, wouldn't take it so well
When you speak, I'm numb
Feelin' oh so dumb
Say goodbye, I say hey
So whatchu do today

I get so down on myself
You talk like somebody else
Nah, I'm too sad to turn the radio on
I look so down on myself
You talk like somebody else

It ain't like that when we're apart
It ain't like that when we're apart
It ain't like that when we're apart

Pot Of Gold lyrics - Deer Tick

This poetry, ain't worth a damn
I shape my words, I've got a plan
It came to me, some cracked-out thought
My ear was such, you couldn't warn
Leaning on my broken crutch
A balanced meal, an early lunch
All the signals came so blurred
For better or worse, I just can't learn

So I'll never
No I'll never
Said I'll never
No I'll never

A carnival, I'll wave my skull
An old trust fault, you got my call
Quick escapes, from huge mistakes
What would you say, if you were awake
Brian found a pot of gold
Brian knows just how to roll
We laughed until the sun came up
We almost crashed his father's truck

So I'll never
No I'll never
Said I'll never
No I'll never

Save me
Save me

This poetry, ain't worth a damn
I shape my words, I got a plan
It came to me, some cracked-out thought
My ear was such, you couldn't warn
Leaning on my broken crutch
A balanced meal, an early lunch
All the signals came so blurred
For better or worse, I just can't learn

So I'll never
No I'll never
Said I'll never
Oh I'll never

Said I'll never
No I'll never
I'll never
No I'll never

Save me...

Big House lyrics - Deer Tick

It's a big house with all these things you're so unsure of
in a big world with all these things you've never heard of
Fix me up now if it seems that I need fixin
and correct me if I stand to be corrected

It's a sad song with all these words you've heard enough of
It's a cliff walk with only one side you want to fall off
Lift me up now let me walk amongst the gifted
If i'm askin too much, it's just pleased to be comforted

Every morning when you mean that you keep your hands clean
and it's running down your arms casting shadows on your heart
You showed me how to die, put a price on how to cry
You showed me how to tie, I'll just catch you by and by

It's a deep hole, that you dug with all your lyin
It's a flag pole and you don't know how low it's flyin
The saviors need the saving when they show you how they're spineless
The lovers need the let down or they'll figure out you're heartless

Every morning when you mean that you keep your hands clean
but it's runnin down your arms, oh it's tearin you apart
you spoke into the sky and you've lied a million times
You showed me how to die, I guess I'll catch you on the other side

"Divine Providence" (2011)

The Bump lyrics - Deer Tick

I got a lust for life
And a dangerous mind
My trail of dust
Who knows what you'll find
I can take a tree
And tear it from its roots
If you see me
I suggest you move

We're full-grown men
But we act like kids
We'll face the music
Next time we roll in

Give me a spark (Give him a spark!)
You'll get an atom bomb (Get an atom bomb!)
Give me some pills, (Give him some pills!)
When I can't stand up! (He can't stand up!)
I'm at your function (I'm at your function!)
And I'm an animal! (What an animal!)
I'm in your town (He's in your town!)
Got a warrant out!

We're full-grown men
But we act like kids
We'll face the music
Next time we roll in

[Whistling]

I got a name (He's got a name)
They call me the bump (They call him the bump)
One night with me (One night with him!)
Is gonna mess you up (Gonna mess you up!)
I saw the light (He saw the light!)
And I ran like a fool (And he ran like a fool!)
I'm a drunken devil (He's a drunken devil!)
And I'm the king of cool!

We're full-grown men
But we act like kids
We'll face the music
Next time we roll in

We're full-grown men
But we act like kids
We'll face the music
Next time we roll in

Oh we'll face the music
Next time we roll in

Funny Word lyrics - Deer Tick

I don't have to be a hero
I can just walk these streets
Wait around for a drive-by wake up call
I don't have to go work just to the job complete
That kind of work always me feel so small

It's your concern, it' my concern
You tell me that you love but, but love is such a funny word

I could hitch a ride to Phoenix or up to Ontario
There'll always be a stranger with a light for my soke
I could dream about the big time
I could play the lottery
Make my first million from a gas station scratch-off machine
It's your concern, it's my concern

You ask me if I love you
Don't ask a question with such a funny word
It's really funny you let me sleep all morning
You let me share your bed and you say that I need to make a few new friends
Love works both ways you tell me every day

But love is such a funny word, oh baby
Love is such a funny word
I tell you that love is such a funny word

Let's All Go To The Bar lyrics - Deer Tick

I don't care if it rains
(Let's all go to the bar)
I don't care if there's a hurricane
(Let's all go to the bar)
And I don't care if I'm the one to blame
(Let's all go to the bar)

Gimme, gimme, gimme, I always want more
(Let's all go to the bar)
I don't wanna go to the liquor store
(Let's all go to the bar)
I don't care if you're already drun
(Let's all go to the bar)

This is one night school that I won't flunk
(Let's all go to the bar)
I'm not gonna stand for being down on my luck
(Let's all go to the bar)

Forget if you'll regret when the morning comes
We'll have a heart attack, we're having too much fun
If the coops show up we ought run, run, run
But we'll laugh in their faces when they tell us we're done

I don't care if you puke in my ride
(Let's all go to the bar)
Baby, just as long as you take you piss outside
(Let's all go to the bar)
I don't care what daddy says, you're coming out tonight
(Let's all go to the bar)

Pack of cigarettes and a fake ID
(Let's all go to the bar)
We don't like it baby if it don't come cheap
(Let's all go to the bar)

Now listen up, though, cause I don't think you heard me!!
Forget if you'll regret it when the morning comes
We're having too much fun
If the cops show up we oughta run, run, run
We'll laugh in their faces when they tell us we're done

I don't care if it rains
(Let's all go to the bar)
I don't care if there's a hurricane
(Let's all go to the bar)
I don't care if I'm the one to blame
(Let's all go to the bar)

Let's all go to the bar
Let's all go to the bar
Let's all go the bar

Clownin Around lyrics - Deer Tick

Though I’ve walked down a crooked path
Then don’t mean it wasn’t cursed
My feeble heart was filled with wrath
My poison mind with thoughts perverse
And the devil is living my basement
I’m trying hard to hide him from my wife
And I know some day I’m gonna have to face him
But for now I keep my secrets with the night

As I breathe through this windy city
The devil he now rides upon my back
And all the boys here look mighty pretty
I need to fix and Lord I need it fast
I let my house guests rest in my crawl space
Don’t let anyone tell you that I’m a bad host
I take cover behind my white face paint
While I battle my bitter father’s ghost
Uhuu, uhuu, uhuu!

And by now the hounds have surely caught my scent
In just a short time I’m no longer free
Oh, Lord you know I would repent
But now the devil he speaks for me
And the icy needle kisses my veins
As I kiss my dear sister goodbye
Now as I descend into the final flames
Is my turn to die

Main Street lyrics - Deer Tick

I can’t sleep, I can’t close my eyes
Blinked one second, the whole world pass you by
Yeah, I guess I’m in
All the days you spent

I can’t eat, I can’t use my mouth
Miss one day and the whole world cast you out
Yeah I guess I try
All the times a lie

Of goodbye times, you ain’t on my side
Satisfaction, too much of mine
Song goes here, never let me down
Oh the main street seems so lonely now

I can’t hear, I can’t use my ears
Miss one speech and you’re uninformed to tears
Yeah I guess I’m scared
Every time I care

I can’t breathe, I can’t use my nose
Miss one night from the stomped on bag of blow
Yeah I guess I’m wrong
I can’t sing a song

Of goodbye times, you ain’t on my side
Satisfaction, I go way too much of mine
Song goes here, never let me down
But the main street seems so lonely now

I can’t write, I can’t bleed my soul
Loose one friend and you whole might find its whole
Yeah I guess you’re strong
But I won’t let it show
Speak to me again,
And I have never have felt it, before.

Chevy Express lyrics - Deer Tick

Chevy express
No children conceived
The beer cans rattle around

The tags are old
The engine's cold
I'm idle in a neighboring town

Highway work
No progress made
The states just taking their time

Something's wrong
Bridge is strong
They're bagging money all the while

He got the trade
He got the money
And the honey to apologize

He got the skin
But I got it thick
And the tricks for compromise

Crazy kids
Their money in pits
And a selfish sense of bitch

We know them
We hate them
I could have sworn they was diggin the ditch

But that kid was cute
That kid ate fruit
Then the kid was found in a blanket

Clues ain't there
The cops were square
It must have been an immigrant

She got the trade
She got the money
And the honey to apologize

She got the skin
I got it thick
And the tricks for a compromise

Credit cards
Email alerts
Cash to the win.com

Water's cold
Walls are mold
But we got a little co-op farm

Drugs and terror
Which one's better
Mother nature's waging a war

I'll take the rap
I'll buy the gas
Give the money to the Indian boy

I got the trade
I got the money
And the honey to apologize

I got the skin
He got it thick
And the tricks for a compromise

I got the trade
I got the money
And the honey to apologize

I got the skin
He got it thick
And the tricks for a compromise

Something To Brag About lyrics - Deer Tick

Oh say can you see,

Johnny's got a bottle of wine
No one is gonna make it work on time
And oh, just set me free
Why don't the boss go ahead and fire me
Now Johnny's got a bottle of wine
And I'll never make it work on time

Uh, I want [?] him on the scene
But these down town girls get up so mean
And the dark [?] everyone else
But they all wanna be by themselves
And oh[?]on the scene
But these down town girls you get up so mean

And gotta keep moving, gotta keep fighting
[?] stop living, so so righteous
And there's something in your swagger
Something in your style
And you,
You give me something to brag about

You leave me no choice
Sometimes I wanna [?] thinking in my voice
And girl something's in your eyes
I bet you probably thinking you gonna change my life
But now you're leaving me no choice

But I don't even care [?] my voice
Cause I gotta keep moving, I gotta keep fighting
[?] stop living, so so righteous
And there's something in your swagger
Something in your style
And you,
You give me something to brag about
You give me something to brag about, whoa.

Walkin Out The Door lyrics - Deer Tick

Well, I forget when I began
Oh, swimming in the sand
I guess it hit me with a man is just a man

So I tried to get some truth
Outta these clothes that I outgrew
I cut my way to the back of the line, and I found you

But I know you don't see me like before
But you'll never catch me walkin' out that door

And I've been living here for years
But there's a stranger in the mirror
Well, it's a rat race baby, making money off of what we feared

And to the kids who have some words
About my friends or about her
Why don't you step out of the ghetto, say exactly what you learn

'cause we ain't taking their shit anymore
That's why you'll never catch me walkin' out that door

I wanted to be all the things that you adore
I wanted you to see your change
But I ain't them
And I know that
Well, you ain't leaving me behind

Well, I should step up to the plate
Instead of sleep away my days
Dreamin' 'bout a time that's long since gone by

Here I go again
Isolating all my friends
Inviting people to my party, but not letting anyone in

And it doesn't seem like it's worth fighting for
So grab your bullshit, I'm showin' you that door

Make Believe lyrics - Deer Tick

I saw you dancing through the window
Saw you dancing to the band and it's me
I saw you messing around with an old friend
You said you didn't even see

Saw you walk on through the doorway
Saw you walking hand in hand
Saw him touching you the way lovers do
And now it won't happen again

Well, you, I think you know what I mean
That I'm not gonna stand around and play make believe

Darling, if you love me tell me baby
Was it I the one in your world who took everything that was upside down
And put it right side up for you?

When you close that door behind you
I'll carry on feeling no regrets
I'll carry the image of you and all you put me through
I'm not gonna get it out of my head

Well you I think you know what I mean
That I am not gonna stand around and play make believe
Well you I think you know what I mean
That I am not gonna stay around and play make believe
