Born At Zero lyrics - Deer Tick

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

Oh, a picture always hurts more than words

You're born at zero and dead at 23

Ain't it fucking cold and the dirt comes free

You make it clear, you take me as insincere

A picture I can't live without seeing

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

And I can hear a longing in your voice

I'm a sorry mess to see your face

I wanna hold you close, but I push you away

I wanna feel your skin upon my skin

But I'm not feeling great about letting you in

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

Our dreams only come true in better dreams

I dream of me in the middle of a rugged street

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

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

And I could've been anything [?]

I'm a sorry mess to see your face

I wanna hold you close, but I push you away

I wanna feel your skin upon my skin

But I'm not feeling great about letting you in

Born at zero and dead at 23

Ain't it fucking cold and the dirt comes free

Bury Deep lyrics - Deer Tick

(originally by Ian O'Neil)

Well I see the night is bringing down the sun

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

And a man wakes up with a throat of sand

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

Now every window that I look through

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

And I will forget every sin that I regret

And I'll bury deep every lover true or cheap

And it's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

It's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

Sweet life it will remain

Now the streets become all stale again

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

And I'll taste your love when I get home

And your lips will know enough to speak what I know

Now everybody that I look through

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

And I will forget every sin that I regret

And I'll bury deep every lover true or cheap

And it's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

It's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

And I will forget every sin that I regret

And I'll bury deep every lover true or cheap

And it's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

It's worth the pain

Sweet life it will remain

Sweet life it will remain

Cake And Eggs lyrics - Deer Tick

Well Heaven's a beach

Just you and me

Laying in a bed of sand

With a blanket and a cooler

And a 12 inch ruler

Try to catch us if you can

Life is a party

And you can cry if you want to

But you're the only invitee

Sometimes it's cake

Sometimes it's eggs

But your the only thing I eat

And you can count on me

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

When your in jail and can't make bail

I've got the money

People come and people go

Nothing ever stays the same

But the only thing that'll never change

Is that your always on my brain

And this old house

Could fall down

And the town could bottom out

But I don't care

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

You can count on me

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

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

Foot massage, mowing the lawn

Any little thing you want

I'd do it in an instant

For gravy and biscuits

So baby, turn that oven on

You can count on me

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

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

Dancing In The Dark lyrics - Deer Tick

I get up in the evening

And I ain't got nothing to say

I come home in the morning

I go to bed feeling the same way

I ain't nothing but tired

Man I'm just tired and bored

With myself

Hey there baby

I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire

You can't start a fire

Without a spark

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer

Radio's on

And I'm moving 'round the place

I check my look in the mirror

I wanna change my clothes

My hair, my face

Man I ain't getting nowhere

I'm just living in a dump

Like this

There's something

Happening somewhere

Baby I just know that there is

You can't start a fire

You can't start a fire

Without a spark

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older

There's a joke here somewhere

And it's on me

I'll shake this world off

My shoulders

Come on baby this laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town

And they'll be

Carving you up alright

They say you gotta stay hungry

Hey baby I'm just about

Starving tonight

I'm dying for some action

I'm sick of sitting 'round here

Trying to write this book

I need a love reaction

Come on now baby gimme

Just one look

You can't start a fire

Sitting 'round crying over

A broken heart

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

You can't start a fire worrying

About your little world

Falling apart

This gun's for hire

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Even if we're just

Dancing in the dark

Hey baby

Mr. Cigarette lyrics - Deer Tick

He's the starving man's supper

He's the tired man's rest

He's the selfish man's possession

The hopeless man's best bet

He's the quiet man's conversation

He's the cold man's blanket

He's the lonely man's companion

Mr. Cigarette

He's the lost man's road map

He's the driving man's jet

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

He's the frightened man's courage

The beaten man's comeback

He's the lonely man's companion

Mr. Cigarette

Tar Nicotine, Tar Nicotine

Cancer, I die! Ho, ho ho!

Tar Nicotine, Tar Nicotine

Cancer of the Soul

He's the bleeding man's bandage

He's the angry man's regret

He's the fallen man's redemption

The slighted man's revenge

He's the inmate's currency

He's the dying man's last request

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

Mwah!

Mr. Cigarette

Rough Around The Edges lyrics - Deer Tick

(originally by John McCauley)

Pulled in to meet you, windows down

Duct taped mirrors, exhaust pourin' out

Always late, never unwound

When will I learn to shut my mouth?

Guess I'm rough

Rough around the edges

Honey, I'm rough

Rough around the edges

You find the beauty in the simple things

In desert sunsets and in movie scenes

I see the flaws and all the in betweens

The past was cruel and it caught up with me

I guess I'm rough

Rough around the edges

Honey, I'm rough

Rough around the edges

Curtains closed so I can sleep in late

Nothin' on the TV, but it always plays

Dirty dishes, butts in the ash try

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

I'm feelin' rough

Rough around the edges

Honey, I'm rough

Rough around the edges

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

When my mind becomes a question mark

When I want closure, then I get confused

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

I'm just rough

Rough around the edges

Yeah, I'm rough

Rough around the edges

She's Not Spanish lyrics - Deer Tick

I went out walking and you were not there

They say you look familiar, famous and destined to win

And they say you look Spanish with your long dark hair

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

And I know you're alone

While you wait for me at home

But I'll make you see

You're not Spanish to me

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

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

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

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

But you know I'm alone

While you wait for me at home

But I'll make them see

She's not Spanish to me

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

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

And truth spoke in anger is a means to an end

Thread from the spool, drawing me back home to you

But you know I'm alone

While you wait for me at home

But I'll make you see

You're not Spanish to me
