"Mayonnaise" (2019)

White City lyrics - Deer Tick

(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
