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
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
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
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
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

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

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
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
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
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!
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
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
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
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
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
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!
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

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!
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...
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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
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.
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
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?
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?
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
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
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
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
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
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
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...
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
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
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
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
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

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
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.
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

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
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

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.
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

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

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
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
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
Now It's Your Turn lyrics - Deer Tick
If you see
My reflection
In the goal
That guides your road
We could be
Our invention
Running from
Letting go
But our eyes
Make bridges burn
Those nights
Are all we've earned
Well I'm alone
Here's my heart
Now it's your turn.
Well if you need
An opinion
Or some cash
To make your rent
Well I could be
Your addiction
Talk is cheap
Well that's it
And our eyes
Make bridges burn
Those nights
Are all we've earned
Well I'm alone
Here's my heart
Now it's your turn.
If you see
My reflection
In the goal
That guides your road
We could be
Our invention
Running from
Letting go
But our eyes
Make bridges burn
Those nights
Are all we've earned
Well I'm alone
Here's my heart
Now it's your turn.
My reflection
In the goal
That guides your road
We could be
Our invention
Running from
Letting go
But our eyes
Make bridges burn
Those nights
Are all we've earned
Well I'm alone
Here's my heart
Now it's your turn.
Well if you need
An opinion
Or some cash
To make your rent
Well I could be
Your addiction
Talk is cheap
Well that's it
And our eyes
Make bridges burn
Those nights
Are all we've earned
Well I'm alone
Here's my heart
Now it's your turn.
If you see
My reflection
In the goal
That guides your road
We could be
Our invention
Running from
Letting go
But our eyes
Make bridges burn
Those nights
Are all we've earned
Well I'm alone
Here's my heart
Now it's your turn.
Electric lyrics - Deer Tick
I need you to make me proud
I need electric to play it loud
But I don't need your sympathy
I'm just a player in your kings and queens
I don't want to lose my sight
I don't want to fight my fight
On a big screen TV
I don't wanna burn your money
I need you to get me by
I need electric to get me high
But I don't need your friendly smiles
I'm just the bricks and you're the miles
I don't want to live like you
And I don't want to know your truth
But I'll always do my thing
But you have me on your string
I need you to make me shout
I need electric to drown you out
But I don't need all of your words
I am sound, you can't be heard
I don't want to waste your breath
I don't want you to forget
I'm the problem, you're the test
I can't hear you, none of these
I need electric to play it loud
But I don't need your sympathy
I'm just a player in your kings and queens
I don't want to lose my sight
I don't want to fight my fight
On a big screen TV
I don't wanna burn your money
I need you to get me by
I need electric to get me high
But I don't need your friendly smiles
I'm just the bricks and you're the miles
I don't want to live like you
And I don't want to know your truth
But I'll always do my thing
But you have me on your string
I need you to make me shout
I need electric to drown you out
But I don't need all of your words
I am sound, you can't be heard
I don't want to waste your breath
I don't want you to forget
I'm the problem, you're the test
I can't hear you, none of these
Miss K. lyrics - Deer Tick
Don't you waste anytime with those bags under your eyes
Put you bag in your hand and run with me
Just to know you're this close
Darlin' I nearly choke
Can't you see you can have all my tomorrows
Come on Miss K wrap your lovin' arms around me
Talk dirty, turn me on, let's get goin'
Well we're young and we're brave
So turn your back and walk away
Turn your back to the past and take off fast
Just to dance in your arms it's like I can't fall apart
Take a chance change your stance and see what happens
Come on Miss K wrap your drunken arms around me
Talk dirty, turn me on, let's get goin'
Well our lives are ever changing
Some shit always hits the fan
Oh, but when we first locked eyes
Well Miss K You took me by surprise
Don't you waste anytime with those bags under your eyes
Put you bag in your hand and roll with me
Just to know you're this close
Darlin' I nearly choke
Can't you see you can have all my tomorrows
Come on Miss K wrap your lovin' arms around me
Talk dirty, turn me on, let's get goin'
Come on Miss K wrap your lovin arms around me
Talk dirty baby, turn me on, let's get goin'
Let's get goin'
Get goin'

Darlin' I nearly choke
Can't you see you can have all my tomorrows
Come on Miss K wrap your lovin' arms around me
Talk dirty, turn me on, let's get goin'
Well we're young and we're brave
So turn your back and walk away
Turn your back to the past and take off fast
Just to dance in your arms it's like I can't fall apart
Take a chance change your stance and see what happens
Come on Miss K wrap your drunken arms around me
Talk dirty, turn me on, let's get goin'
Well our lives are ever changing
Some shit always hits the fan
Oh, but when we first locked eyes
Well Miss K You took me by surprise
Don't you waste anytime with those bags under your eyes
Put you bag in your hand and roll with me
Just to know you're this close

Can't you see you can have all my tomorrows
Come on Miss K wrap your lovin' arms around me

Hey where we goin'
Let's just go
Keep movin' baby
Choir Of Angels lyrics - Deer Tick
Sing choir of angels
Sing through the night
I'll be still
I'll be quiet
They took my body
They robbed me blind
There's no turning back now
No use in crying
Every lonely road is behind me
That led me through the changes I don't feel
And I lost sight of flesh and bone
Little I knew, I was going home
Sing choir of angels
Sing me to sleep
Sing soft and sweet
I'm yours to keep
I fought their battles
and I gave my life
For peace and quiet
For pain and strife
Now every lonely road is behind me
That led me through the changes I don't feel
And I lost sight of flesh and bone
Little I knew I was going home
Sing through the night
I'll be still
I'll be quiet
They took my body
They robbed me blind
There's no turning back now
No use in crying
Every lonely road is behind me
That led me through the changes I don't feel
And I lost sight of flesh and bone
Little I knew, I was going home
Sing choir of angels
Sing me to sleep
Sing soft and sweet
I'm yours to keep
I fought their battles
and I gave my life
For peace and quiet
For pain and strife
Now every lonely road is behind me
That led me through the changes I don't feel
And I lost sight of flesh and bone
Little I knew I was going home
Twenty Miles lyrics - Deer Tick
Raindrops like bullets on my fragile skin
Insecurities I've had are creeping within
Now I'm twenty miles outside of the place that you live
And I need one more chance now that time's running thin
Well you are the things that'd make up my dreams
When I've spent every dime that jingled my jeans
I deserve every stone that's thrown out at me
I'll think of your smile, I'm in love with your teeth
I'm losing when I am not playing no games
Now would you take me back when I've gambled my pay
And I've got no directions without her little fingers
Barbed wire, razor wire, nothing keeps me from her
And if I had no boots I'd trek through the mud
While mosquitoes are racing to draw the first blood
If you're running away then I'm looking for you
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
Oh if your running away then I'm looking for you
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
If your running away then I'm looking for you
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
Oh if your running away then I'm looking for you
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
Oh if your running away then I'm looking for yo
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
Insecurities I've had are creeping within
Now I'm twenty miles outside of the place that you live
And I need one more chance now that time's running thin
Well you are the things that'd make up my dreams
When I've spent every dime that jingled my jeans
I deserve every stone that's thrown out at me
I'll think of your smile, I'm in love with your teeth
I'm losing when I am not playing no games
Now would you take me back when I've gambled my pay
And I've got no directions without her little fingers
Barbed wire, razor wire, nothing keeps me from her
And if I had no boots I'd trek through the mud
While mosquitoes are racing to draw the first blood
If you're running away then I'm looking for you
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
Oh if your running away then I'm looking for you
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
If your running away then I'm looking for you
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
Oh if your running away then I'm looking for you
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
Oh if your running away then I'm looking for yo
And if you've lost your way I'm seeing you through
Goodbye, Dear Friends lyrics - Deer Tick
Some roads that you take
Some bonds we'll choose to break
I swore I'd no longer be the pallbearer
But I carried you to bed
So you could rest your head
You were taking off a load, heavy drinking
The world it carries on
Your memories and song
And your pictures on my wall, are not forgotten
There was hymns that came from mouths
That turned crosses upside down
But it came through their teeth with great ease
And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about
But you carry on in pictures and in song
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend
Some stories break your heart
And some with such applaud
Buried deep inside, where it's OK to cry
Some boys won't shed a tear
Oh, but I tell it like this here
It can break me down and get me where it hurts the most
And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about
But you carry on in pictures and in song
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend
But you carry on in pictures and in song
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend
Some bonds we'll choose to break
I swore I'd no longer be the pallbearer
But I carried you to bed
So you could rest your head
You were taking off a load, heavy drinking
The world it carries on
Your memories and song
And your pictures on my wall, are not forgotten
There was hymns that came from mouths
That turned crosses upside down
But it came through their teeth with great ease
And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about
But you carry on in pictures and in song
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend
Some stories break your heart
And some with such applaud
Buried deep inside, where it's OK to cry
Some boys won't shed a tear
Oh, but I tell it like this here
It can break me down and get me where it hurts the most
And all are bobbing heads in sync
And all have got a lot on their minds to think about
But you carry on in pictures and in song
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend
But you carry on in pictures and in song
And the unmade bed you slept in
Where I laid you down to rest one last time
Goodbye, dear friend, Goodbye, dear friend
Piece By Piece, Frame By Frame lyrics - Deer Tick
Seems like I relied too hard on a dream
Now tell me girl where have you really been
Cause I've only got this life right here
Wasted all and contain all the fear
But I caught your eye on a Friday night
I removed myself and got caught up in loose nights
So ask me again yes lets meet again
You know I've built a kingdom on second chances, yes I did.
Well I've been there now once or twice
Now tell me girl did you think that was very nice
And I would say it was just one moment
But it was gone just as fast as it came
So I drowned myself in a tall glass of whatever
Does it matter to you?
And the tears would come with the cold cold rain
And I know for sure that I succumb to the pain
And I'd love to tear apart your name
Piece by piece frame by frame
Well id love to tear apart your name
Id love to tear apart your days
Piece by piece, and frame by frame, and piece by piece, frame by frame
Now tell me girl where have you really been
Cause I've only got this life right here
Wasted all and contain all the fear
But I caught your eye on a Friday night
I removed myself and got caught up in loose nights
So ask me again yes lets meet again
You know I've built a kingdom on second chances, yes I did.
Well I've been there now once or twice
Now tell me girl did you think that was very nice
And I would say it was just one moment
But it was gone just as fast as it came
So I drowned myself in a tall glass of whatever
Does it matter to you?
And the tears would come with the cold cold rain
And I know for sure that I succumb to the pain
And I'd love to tear apart your name
Piece by piece frame by frame
Well id love to tear apart your name
Id love to tear apart your days
Piece by piece, and frame by frame, and piece by piece, frame by frame
The Sad Sun lyrics - Deer Tick
The sad sun
shining down on the day I drove to the cape
And a thing that was slowly dying
The sad sun was taken away
Never had your chance to live
And it's hard to forgive
Never had your chance to love
And it does not happen like this
In heaven, if heaven exists
And we'll never know until the moment we're finished
And the few that care
What have they accomplished right here?
The sad sun
Shining down on the day I drove to the cape
And a still thing was slowly dying
The sad sun was taken away
The sad sun was telling me that
You'll never see his light again
All rolling around with no skin
And your wrists cut from start to end
And they're laughing
Clouding your head with bad thoughts
But I'm your friend
And the close encounter
Never happens like this
Never had your chance to live
And it's hard to forgive
Never had your chance to love
And it does not happen like this
In heaven, if heaven exists
And we'll never know until the moment we're finished
And the few that care
What have they accomplished right here?
What have they accomplished right here?
The sad sun
shining down on the day I drove to the cape
And a thing that was slowly dying
The sad sun was taken away
Never had your chance to live
And it's hard to forgive
Never had your chance to love
And it does not happen like this
In heaven, if heaven exists
And we'll never know until the moment we're finished
And the few that care
What have they accomplished right here?
The sad sun
Shining down on the day I drove to the cape
And a still thing was slowly dying
The sad sun was taken away
The sad sun was telling me that
You'll never see his light again
All rolling around with no skin
And your wrists cut from start to end
And they're laughing
Clouding your head with bad thoughts
But I'm your friend
And the close encounter
Never happens like this
Never had your chance to live
And it's hard to forgive
Never had your chance to love
And it does not happen like this
In heaven, if heaven exists
And we'll never know until the moment we're finished
And the few that care
What have they accomplished right here?
What have they accomplished right here?
The sad sun
Mange lyrics - Deer Tick
These words they make the world spin here in steady rotation
Until the new words turn the new world into oblivion
Well at the end of the line and this new world feels pretty rotten
Then we'll go our separate ways to put new blood in our system
I've never seen eyes so hurt, the kind that scream my name
Now what can I make of life when it all seems like a game?
I've gotta tie up all my loose ends 'fore my skin turns to mange
So I've gotta look at the sky and imagine I've found my place
Until the new words turn the new world into oblivion
Well at the end of the line and this new world feels pretty rotten
Then we'll go our separate ways to put new blood in our system
I've never seen eyes so hurt, the kind that scream my name
Now what can I make of life when it all seems like a game?
I've gotta tie up all my loose ends 'fore my skin turns to mange
So I've gotta look at the sky and imagine I've found my place
When She Comes Home lyrics - Deer Tick
The whole world is wrong today
But you've been gone so long
That I lost count of days
When you come home
I'm gonna tell you how I got along
I'm gonna tell you, gonna tell you
Everything I thought
Emptiness was bought with your plane ticket
Not so much as a kiss goodbye
I don't want to think of the reasons why
I don't wanna think of reasons why
Most things I wanna say
They will go unspoken always
But if you look a little closer in my eye
You will know everything there is to know
You're gonna know you're gonna know
Everything I thought
Overcome the sloth, got me a ride to New York
And not so much as a reason why
I just want a kiss, a kiss goodbye
I just want a kiss, a kiss goodbye
The whole world is wrong today
But you've been gone so long that I lost count of days
But when you come home
I'm gonna tell you how I got along
I'm gonna tell you, gonna tell you
Everything I thought
Emptiness was bought with your plane ticket
And not so much as a reason why
I just want a kiss, a kiss goodbye
I just want a kiss goodbye
But you've been gone so long
That I lost count of days
When you come home
I'm gonna tell you how I got along
I'm gonna tell you, gonna tell you
Everything I thought
Emptiness was bought with your plane ticket
Not so much as a kiss goodbye
I don't want to think of the reasons why
I don't wanna think of reasons why
Most things I wanna say
They will go unspoken always
But if you look a little closer in my eye
You will know everything there is to know
You're gonna know you're gonna know
Everything I thought
Overcome the sloth, got me a ride to New York
And not so much as a reason why
I just want a kiss, a kiss goodbye
I just want a kiss, a kiss goodbye
The whole world is wrong today
But you've been gone so long that I lost count of days
But when you come home
I'm gonna tell you how I got along
I'm gonna tell you, gonna tell you
Everything I thought
Emptiness was bought with your plane ticket
And not so much as a reason why
I just want a kiss, a kiss goodbye
I just want a kiss goodbye
Hand In My Hand lyrics - Deer Tick
Everybody is alone in this world
Touches feeling close but never touching
And everyone is alone
So long as I'm awake
I'll never dream alone again
Everyone is rolling for themselves
She lives down Elk
I say its a ghost town
When she's not, not around
Everybody is alone in this world
Touches feeling close but never touching
When everyone is alone
She don't need a thing
All I can do is give
That is some touches
She don't understand
I'll take her hand (in my hand)
Again and again
Everybody is alone in this world
Touches feeling close but never touching
And everyone,
Everyone is alone
I take her hand
In my hand
Again and again
Everybody is alone in this world
Touches feeling close but never touching
And everyone is alone
Touches feeling close but never touching
And everyone is alone
So long as I'm awake
I'll never dream alone again
Everyone is rolling for themselves
She lives down Elk
I say its a ghost town
When she's not, not around
Everybody is alone in this world
Touches feeling close but never touching
When everyone is alone
She don't need a thing
All I can do is give
That is some touches
She don't understand
I'll take her hand (in my hand)
Again and again
Everybody is alone in this world
Touches feeling close but never touching
And everyone,
Everyone is alone
I take her hand
In my hand
Again and again
Everybody is alone in this world
Touches feeling close but never touching
And everyone is alone
I Will Not Be Myself lyrics - Deer Tick
I feel stuck between two places
Crust and the reward of your face
And I'm burning up inside
As I drive and twist the knife
Between us, well it should remain ours
Between their blood clots and scars
I won't consider advice
When they carry the deadliest vice
And I feel that I ain't done wrong
Yes it's just when I have no place to go
Nobody can be themselves
If they just act like someone else
And you know that I'd wait an awful long time
But you gave up and shoved me aside
So gouge, gouge out my eyes
Cause I know true love is blind
Now we'll envy each other to death
To be able to finish each others sentences
And I lie awake
Cause I gave up prescription drugs
My brain gets tired
As I lay watching too much time
So gouge, gouge my eyes
Cause I know true love is blind
And no one can be themselves
If they only act like someone else
Crust and the reward of your face
And I'm burning up inside
As I drive and twist the knife
Between us, well it should remain ours
Between their blood clots and scars
I won't consider advice
When they carry the deadliest vice
And I feel that I ain't done wrong
Yes it's just when I have no place to go
Nobody can be themselves
If they just act like someone else
And you know that I'd wait an awful long time
But you gave up and shoved me aside
So gouge, gouge out my eyes
Cause I know true love is blind
Now we'll envy each other to death
To be able to finish each others sentences
And I lie awake
Cause I gave up prescription drugs
My brain gets tired
As I lay watching too much time
So gouge, gouge my eyes
Cause I know true love is blind
And no one can be themselves
If they only act like someone else
Blood Moon lyrics - Deer Tick
In you I was invited
So in your arms I'll die
Every other man got away
But I won't even try
Twenty coins in your pocket
Twenty nails in your coffin
With faith and salvation
Oh you must be joking
Now the moon has a watchful eye
And it bleeds in the sky
And the red rock drips on rocket ships
And you hid your eyes
cause you just couldn't take it
Years of delusion put scars on your face
And we'd make the earth quake
With every step that we'd take
You're hung on your mission
Of destroying your vision
Constricted and timid
you're a time bomb ticking
All the heavens in the clouds
Are a pendelum swinging down
So hurry up young man
Go and bury your head
And know no one's around right now
to water the ground
Hey big daddy what's on your mind?
All the things that you're thinking of
All the time
Is it heresy to speak of
Or an undying love?
If you told me it wouldn't change me
You said you'd act boldly
But your hesitating
Now I'll escape and I'll never come back around
Well you won't learn nothing
Until you bend down and taste the ground
Taste the ground
All the colors, grey
In your head made of hay
Won't you take me now?
For the hearst will stop
Then the flesh will rot
And the blood moon we see is an act
It's an act of god
So in your arms I'll die
Every other man got away
But I won't even try
Twenty coins in your pocket
Twenty nails in your coffin
With faith and salvation
Oh you must be joking
Now the moon has a watchful eye
And it bleeds in the sky
And the red rock drips on rocket ships
And you hid your eyes
cause you just couldn't take it
Years of delusion put scars on your face
And we'd make the earth quake
With every step that we'd take
You're hung on your mission
Of destroying your vision
Constricted and timid
you're a time bomb ticking
All the heavens in the clouds
Are a pendelum swinging down
So hurry up young man
Go and bury your head
And know no one's around right now
to water the ground
Hey big daddy what's on your mind?
All the things that you're thinking of
All the time
Is it heresy to speak of
Or an undying love?
If you told me it wouldn't change me
You said you'd act boldly
But your hesitating
Now I'll escape and I'll never come back around
Well you won't learn nothing
Until you bend down and taste the ground
Taste the ground
All the colors, grey
In your head made of hay
Won't you take me now?
For the hearst will stop
Then the flesh will rot
And the blood moon we see is an act
It's an act of god
Christ Jesus lyrics - Deer Tick
Woke up next to the king
Got up, gonna fix me some things
And it makes me sick how I can't trust him
No I can't trust him
Said the bottom of his belly
That's where he would keep me
Christ Jesus
As I'm floating
And you get a brick and you drop it down on me
Christ Jesus
Have you seen us
Down on our hands and knees
And tell us what's the reason
Like a hawk that's hung in the sky
A hard-on when I die
And you passed away
And that horizon never came
No, it never came
It's the time of the week no one sees but me
Christ Jesus
As I'm drowning
And I struggle to breathe
It's your face I don't see
Christ Jesus
Please don't leave us
If in peace you'll keep us
Well then you should have believed us
Please let me inside
And hear out my desire
'Cause soon I may die
Yes one day I will die
I'll get eaten by the rust
You cremate and breathe the dust
And I'll weaken your lungs
And I'll bite off your tongue
Christ Jesus
Please don't leave us
Down on our hands and our knees
Or I'll never believe, no
Christ Jesus
As I'm drowning
And I struggle to breathe
It's your face I don't see
Christ Jesus
Got up, gonna fix me some things
And it makes me sick how I can't trust him
No I can't trust him
Said the bottom of his belly
That's where he would keep me
Christ Jesus
As I'm floating
And you get a brick and you drop it down on me
Christ Jesus
Have you seen us
Down on our hands and knees
And tell us what's the reason
Like a hawk that's hung in the sky
A hard-on when I die
And you passed away
And that horizon never came
No, it never came
It's the time of the week no one sees but me
Christ Jesus
As I'm drowning
And I struggle to breathe
It's your face I don't see
Christ Jesus
Please don't leave us
If in peace you'll keep us
Well then you should have believed us
Please let me inside
And hear out my desire
'Cause soon I may die
Yes one day I will die
I'll get eaten by the rust
You cremate and breathe the dust
And I'll weaken your lungs
And I'll bite off your tongue
Christ Jesus
Please don't leave us
Down on our hands and our knees
Or I'll never believe, no
Christ Jesus
As I'm drowning
And I struggle to breathe
It's your face I don't see
Christ Jesus
Easy lyrics - Deer Tick
I woke up this morning
I was feeling that this should end
Using all that time
And all my luck friends
I've got a bad defense
And it's not just circumstance
That put me here
In a bad, bad place where I stand
And you don't know
How easy it is
No, you don't know how easy it is
You were never there
No, never there
Out the door
With the devil in my eyes
That son of a bitch crossed me once
But he won't cross me twice
Little angel on my shoulder
Well she better be right
She got me flying like a wild man
In the middle of the night
And you don't know how easy it is
No, you don't know how easy it is
You were never there
No, never there
This whole world
And everything you see
There ain't nothing that'll keep you from
Getting to me
No, you don't know how easy it is
No, you don't know how easy it is
You got no idea how easy it is
No, you don't know how easy it is
You were never there
No, never there
Never there
You were never there
Little White Lies lyrics - Deer Tick
Well everybody, everybody who has reached out so far to me,
Well never did we ever think that these were desperate times or misery,
And they softly spoke of how it's supposed to be,
Never did I think that I was so naive.
So please let me be lonely tonight,
For how many times I thought this was the life,
But I'm not so sure I even am alive.
Well I've torn apart and warded off nearly every lover every friend,
Every smile was so delicate, floated around until the nights would end,
And I'd wander off and then I'd find a bed,
With the thought of her still dancing 'round my head...
So please let me be lonely tonight,
How many times I thought that you were right,
But I knew that they were all Little White Lies.
Oh!
You have my heart so take my money too,
Look at how I've gone and made myself a fool,
I couldn't please you, you never believed that I was true,
So darlin', oh darlin', please let me forget about you... Oh!
So please let me be lonely tonight,
You know that I don't want to have to yell or fight,
No I'm not the one to judge what's wrong and right.
So please, let me be lonely tonight,
Oh I know that in your heart you'll be just fine,
So forget you ever looked into my eyes.
Well never did we ever think that these were desperate times or misery,
And they softly spoke of how it's supposed to be,
Never did I think that I was so naive.
So please let me be lonely tonight,
For how many times I thought this was the life,
But I'm not so sure I even am alive.
Well I've torn apart and warded off nearly every lover every friend,
Every smile was so delicate, floated around until the nights would end,
And I'd wander off and then I'd find a bed,
With the thought of her still dancing 'round my head...
So please let me be lonely tonight,
How many times I thought that you were right,
But I knew that they were all Little White Lies.
Oh!
You have my heart so take my money too,
Look at how I've gone and made myself a fool,
I couldn't please you, you never believed that I was true,
So darlin', oh darlin', please let me forget about you... Oh!
So please let me be lonely tonight,
You know that I don't want to have to yell or fight,
No I'm not the one to judge what's wrong and right.
So please, let me be lonely tonight,
Oh I know that in your heart you'll be just fine,
So forget you ever looked into my eyes.
Smith Hill lyrics - Deer Tick
Elbows on the window sill
My head against the pane
You've seen so many grow and die
But you forgot most of their names
So I fire that arrow into the great big sky
And I hope that it never comes down
Unless you're coming with it
It's better with you around
I could drink myself to death tonight
Or I could stand and give a toast
To those who made it out alive
It's you I'll miss the most
But tonight I'll see my sweetheart
I've got a fifty dollar bill
But somewhere in her weak heart
She knows I never will
Oh love, it's hard to hide it
True love, it's hard to find it
Though I was once beside it
I've fallen far behind it
From a tiny room up on Smith Hill
It's easy to disappear
It's easier to run off hiding
Then say "I don't want you here"
I can't stand to face the facts
It'd only leave you hurt
I don't care much for what you have to say
But I'd like to know what you heard
Oh love, it's hard to hide it
True love, it's hard to fid it
Though I once was beside it
I've fallen far behind it
It's a long way free
You can't tread on me
And in the morning when you're crying
You'll see
My head against the pane
You've seen so many grow and die
But you forgot most of their names
So I fire that arrow into the great big sky
And I hope that it never comes down
Unless you're coming with it
It's better with you around
I could drink myself to death tonight
Or I could stand and give a toast
To those who made it out alive
It's you I'll miss the most
But tonight I'll see my sweetheart
I've got a fifty dollar bill
But somewhere in her weak heart
She knows I never will
Oh love, it's hard to hide it
True love, it's hard to find it
Though I was once beside it
I've fallen far behind it
From a tiny room up on Smith Hill
It's easy to disappear
It's easier to run off hiding
Then say "I don't want you here"
I can't stand to face the facts
It'd only leave you hurt
I don't care much for what you have to say
But I'd like to know what you heard
Oh love, it's hard to hide it
True love, it's hard to fid it
Though I once was beside it
I've fallen far behind it
It's a long way free
You can't tread on me
And in the morning when you're crying
You'll see
Song About A Man lyrics - Deer Tick
How can a man feel anything
When all he ever got was sympathy?
Take both your hands and put them round my neck
You're a fool for wanting everything
It couldn't be much fun being a millionaire to one
Cause a million's just a million of one thing
Cutting to the chase, I suppose there'll be a day
When all your tired hands will be put to shame
I've got a restless old woman standing by my side
She cannot wait for the finer things in life
She waited all this time so I suppose she has the right
But I drank away all the things I could provide
All of that aside I never meant to make her cry
But crying is just the baby inside
The ones that mess around that tend to fuss and bring us down
Tugging at your lips to make you frown
So my grandson will be living with a chip on his shoulder
And God don't listen to his prayers anymore
I hope he understands when he's a little bit older
That I always wished the best for him
Sing a lullaby in the morning when I rise
Sing it 'til I'm far away from here
If this can be my chance to feel it once in my life
Then sing it brother, cause I don't even care
When all he ever got was sympathy?
Take both your hands and put them round my neck
You're a fool for wanting everything
It couldn't be much fun being a millionaire to one
Cause a million's just a million of one thing
Cutting to the chase, I suppose there'll be a day
When all your tired hands will be put to shame
I've got a restless old woman standing by my side
She cannot wait for the finer things in life
She waited all this time so I suppose she has the right
But I drank away all the things I could provide
All of that aside I never meant to make her cry
But crying is just the baby inside
The ones that mess around that tend to fuss and bring us down
Tugging at your lips to make you frown
So my grandson will be living with a chip on his shoulder
And God don't listen to his prayers anymore
I hope he understands when he's a little bit older
That I always wished the best for him
Sing a lullaby in the morning when I rise
Sing it 'til I'm far away from here
If this can be my chance to feel it once in my life
Then sing it brother, cause I don't even care
Houston, TX lyrics - Deer Tick
I'll walk with the moon tonight
And cut through the air with a curse like a knife
And it can float around and I can do what I like
There's no good place in town but I feel alright
I ain't gonna talk like your sweetheart, no
I'm through messing around
And I ain't gonna talk like your sweetheart, no
I'm through always letting you down
There's nothing left and I am sure that it's a sign
That maybe I'm about as good as gone
I know it's best that in this empty heart of mine
Is where I'll begin to moving on
Oh, move on
I fit right on the face of the earth
So inane and soar
And I took it all for what it was worth
Cause it's not worth a penny more
Not anymore
And I ain't gonna talk like a gentleman, no
I'm thorough always chasing you around
I ain't gonna talk like a gentleman, no
I'm sick of always letting myself down
There's nothing left and I am sure that it's alright
And I was always just about as good as gone
And I know it's best that in this broken heart of mine is where I'll begin to moving on
Oh, move on
And cut through the air with a curse like a knife
And it can float around and I can do what I like
There's no good place in town but I feel alright
I ain't gonna talk like your sweetheart, no
I'm through messing around
And I ain't gonna talk like your sweetheart, no
I'm through always letting you down
There's nothing left and I am sure that it's a sign
That maybe I'm about as good as gone
I know it's best that in this empty heart of mine
Is where I'll begin to moving on
Oh, move on
I fit right on the face of the earth
So inane and soar
And I took it all for what it was worth
Cause it's not worth a penny more
Not anymore
And I ain't gonna talk like a gentleman, no
I'm thorough always chasing you around
I ain't gonna talk like a gentleman, no
I'm sick of always letting myself down
There's nothing left and I am sure that it's alright
And I was always just about as good as gone
And I know it's best that in this broken heart of mine is where I'll begin to moving on
Oh, move on
Straight Into A Storm lyrics - Deer Tick
Is it wrong to think that it ain't no fun
To be anything but second to none?
When I'm second to him every time that I come around
Tell me baby, how long 'til we're gonna get down?
I'm a stranger now in my own house
I'm a brand new man watching her undo her blouse
I see my mama of a princess, though she herself was never a queen
So now I'm heading out West and I'm gonna get this body clean
Throw it out
Make some noise
Whatever that it takes you to destroy
Each and every sign of life but little old me
He's away
He's in jail
Why don't you man the ship before it sets sail?
I said we're heading absolutely, positively straight into a storm
If we go all the way back now, where the story began
Back when I was getting paid and I'm a lucky man
And then I got busy, and I'm messing up all my good things
I said. "I'ma sweep her, oh, sweep her right off her feet."
Now I'm sitting here afraid of my next move
I feel worlds apart from how she thinks I do
Sometimes baby, it feels like maybe I don't have any blood
No heart, no soul, no hands, no feet, no love
Throw it out
Make some noise
Whatever it takes you to destroy
Each and every sign of life but little old me
He's away
He's in jail
Why don't you man the ship before it sets sail?
I said we're heading absolutely, positively straight into a storm
Throw it out
Make some noise
Whatever it takes you to destroy
Each and every sign of life but little old me
He's away
He's in jail
Why don't you man the ship before it sets sail?
I said we're heading absolutely, positively straight into a storm
To be anything but second to none?
When I'm second to him every time that I come around
Tell me baby, how long 'til we're gonna get down?
I'm a stranger now in my own house
I'm a brand new man watching her undo her blouse
I see my mama of a princess, though she herself was never a queen
So now I'm heading out West and I'm gonna get this body clean
Throw it out
Make some noise
Whatever that it takes you to destroy
Each and every sign of life but little old me
He's away
He's in jail
Why don't you man the ship before it sets sail?
I said we're heading absolutely, positively straight into a storm

Now I'm sitting here afraid of my next move

No heart, no soul, no hands, no feet, no love

Friday XIII lyrics - Deer Tick
Come on baby it's a quarter to five
I've been living on the couch and I'm losing my mind
I haven't gotten a touch in a long, long time
Since Friday XIII part nine, going to hell
Thumbing through all the magazines
And I can drink a lot better than I could in my teens
Have we learned nothing but to kick and scream?
We're as civilized as we could have ever dreamed and what's that mean?
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Oh won't you please love me again?
The kind of attraction I couldn't leave
Keep watching the static on TV
Might be as well but not as bad
When your silence shows of our public failure
I woke up in the middle of the night
Sheets soaked, still drunk, terrified
Something tells me you're not alive
The pulse keeps getting softer
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Oh won't you please love me again?
Come on, baby
You've got something to lose
I'll buy you new clothes
I'll buy you new shoes
All kinds of things that we could really use
But all I need is you
I need you girl, you got that heart and soul
We've been living in the dark and digging our holes
But all that we need's right under our nose
Boy, don't you think I know?
I guess so
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Oh won't you please love me again?
Please love me again
I've been living on the couch and I'm losing my mind
I haven't gotten a touch in a long, long time
Since Friday XIII part nine, going to hell
Thumbing through all the magazines
And I can drink a lot better than I could in my teens
Have we learned nothing but to kick and scream?
We're as civilized as we could have ever dreamed and what's that mean?
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Oh won't you please love me again?
The kind of attraction I couldn't leave
Keep watching the static on TV
Might be as well but not as bad
When your silence shows of our public failure
I woke up in the middle of the night
Sheets soaked, still drunk, terrified
Something tells me you're not alive
The pulse keeps getting softer
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Oh won't you please love me again?
Come on, baby
You've got something to lose
I'll buy you new clothes
I'll buy you new shoes
All kinds of things that we could really use
But all I need is you
I need you girl, you got that heart and soul
We've been living in the dark and digging our holes

Please love me again
