Hot Hot Heat - Elevator (2005) by Hot Hot Heat (보컬) on maniadb.com

Witless, humorous conversatoin
Has filled me up like an old gas station
I'm wallowing in a pool of gasoline

Self appointed sherrif of a popular ghostown
I'm open to bribes but I've arrested no one
I'm galloping to meet my bride to be
She'll woo the saloon then sing us both to sleep

But... I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time

Drop dead gorgeous art history drop out
Thought of her fatherought to pay her to clear the whole shop up
She carries her cameras in hand to complete the look

Screenplay players co-writing screenplay
Cotton candy fot the eyess but cotton balls for the brain
He thinks to himself, "Thank God the bar's not too high"
Just look at his face and then you'll see why

But... I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time

Hollywood waiter with a chip on his shoulder
Only break has been his back and yet he's just getting older
He's washing his clothes in a sink of self pity

Retired ball playerguest hosting a talk show
Earned a trophy and a wife and twice he's won the lotto
I'm running aways but don't know who from or why
Just look in his eyes and then you'll see why

I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time

I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I'm running out of time
I've run out of time

It's not enough to hear
me say you've won
You only wanted me for having fun
But now I think you've gone
and had your way
And left me with a pile of bills to pay

I can't even rewind the tape machine
To listen to your drunken reasoning
So here it is - your final lullaby

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So Goodnight

I've given up on social niceties
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys
Along with all your records I can't stand
You never even listen to any one of them
You're never gonna drag me out again
With all the people that were never ever
even your friends
So here it is - your final lullaby

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life

A little bit of rain I'd say is fair
But when it starts to
thunder they all stare
This isn't goodnight, this is goodbye...

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life

So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight -

It's not enough to hear me say you've won
You only wanted me for having fun
But now I think you've gone and had your way
And left me with a pile of bills to pay
I can't even rewind the tape machine
To listen to your drunken reasoning
So here it is - your final lullaby

Goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So Goodnight

I've given up on social niceties
I threw 'em out when I threw out your keys
Along with all your records I can't stand
You never even listen to any one of them
You're never gonna drag me out again
With all the people that were never ever even your friends
So here it is - your final lullaby

Goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight

A little bit of rain I'd say is fair
But when it starts to thunder they all stare
This isn't goodnight, this is goodbye...


So goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
Goodnight, goodnight.
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life

Goodnight, goodnight
You're embarrassing me
You're embarrassing you
So Goodnight, goodnight
Walk away from the door
Walk away from my life
So goodnight

He was in the habit of
taking things for granted
Granted there wasn't much for
him to take
And the only thing constant was
the constant reminder
he'd never change
Tight fisted with his compliments
it didn't seem to bother him
that talk is even cheaper
told in bulk
And the only thing constant was
the constant reminder
He'd never change
And so she yelled at him
You owe me an IOU
owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU
owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get this time
She was in the habit of
reapplying makeup Makeup
eaten up by crocodile tears
And the only thing constant was
the constant reminder
she'd never change
Overtly individual
covertly traditional
She couldn't seem to
make up her mind
And the only thing constant was
the constant reminder
she'd never change
And so he yelled at her
You owe me an IOU
owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU
owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get this time
Oh Is it real I don't know
But I'll act as if it is
What's our deal I don't know
But I'll act as if it is
what I think that it is
If it is then this might just work
They were in the habit of
taking things for granted
Granted they never quite knew
what they had
And the only thing constant
was the constant
reminder they'd never change
And so they yelled out loud
You owe me an IOU
owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
You owe me an IOU
owe me an IOU
You owe me an IOU
Don't think that I'll forget
I know what I should get
Yeah I know what I should get
this time

Watch your children around the abandoned well
Don´t ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
I´m just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
And the perfect plan that should pull me out

Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I´d end up here

Jingle jangle that´s the sound of coins
Spent on useless toys made for useless boys
I´m just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
There´s a piece of land that I got my eye on

Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I´d end up here

Friday night I´ll raise my glass and say
"Tomorrow things will change! I can´t afford to wait."
But by Monday morning my alarm clock knows
How this story goes and the ending´s the same as the start

Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I´d end up here

Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I´d end up here

Watch your children around the abandoned well
Don´t ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
I´m just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
And the perfect plan that I´m working on

Watch your children around the abandoned well
Don't ask me to tell if they slipped and fell
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
And the perfect plan that should pull me out

Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here

Jingle jangle that's the sound of coins
Spent on useless toys made for useless boys
I'm just a salesman with my suitcase in hand
There's a piece of land that I got my eye on

Another day, another night, another year
Another smile, another lie, another tear
This better not be all I got
I never thought I'd end up here

Friday night I'll raise my glass and say
"Tomorrow things will change! I can't afford to wait."
But by Monday morning my alarm clock knows

And the perfect plan that I'm working on

I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around
Dug a hole in Southern Carolina - took me straight to China safe and sound
Donated my map to the lost and found

While working for a common cause I only got a kamikaze state of mind
This self defeating meeting of the minds is eating what was once so hard to find

But right then the clouds parted in the sky
The horizon took us all a little by surprise
Watch the sky
And as the howling winds subsided, the locals ran out, all waving their hands and singing:

Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Wait here - stay here

I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around
Rolled a pair of dice in Paris that got me to paradise all safe and sound.

Stole my temper back from the lost and found
No longer needed to be seated on a sinking ship just waiting there to drown
Jump off now - jump off now
And as they lead us to their village, a thousand voices all started to sing out loud:

Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us
Wait here - stay here

From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
And all the people on the island they already know why they sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
From the sunrise up above to the sunset below, they all sing
Welcome in, welcome back, well come on let's go
And all the people on the island they all want to show why they sing
Why they sing, why they sing, why they're singing

Welcome to the island of the honest man
Do what you want - there is no need to impress us
Welcome to the island of the honest man
We don't believe in what the big people tell us

Welcome to the island of the honest man
This is the island of the honest man
Welcome to the island of the honest man
This is the island of the honest man
Wait here - stay here

I was picked up and then dropped off in a culture counter-clockwise turned around

HOT HOT HEAT LYRICS

"Middle Of Nowhere"

Don't get mad if I'm laughing
Blame the caffeine for all the 5 am phone calls
I haven't slept a single night in over a month
And not even once did you start to make sense to me
Well maybe I'm a little bit slow, or just consistently inconsistent
She said, "Unpredictability's my responsibility, baby."

But you're waiting at the door where everybody's hanging out just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it
but you would anyway

To give you something to go on
when I go off
back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on
when I go off
back to the middle of nowhere

They chewed me up and then
they spit me out
And I'm not supposed
to let it bother me
But maybe I'm a little bit weak -
I let my frailty take the wheel
She said, "Maybe there's a bit of me
waiting for a bit of you. baby."

But you're waiting at the door
where everybody's hanging out
just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it
but you would anyway

To give you something to go on
when I go off
back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on
when I go off
back to the middle of nowhere

But you're waiting at the door
where everybody's hanging out
just like they hung out before
You didn't have to do it but you did it to say
That you didn't have to do it
but you would anyway

To give you something to go on
when I go off
back to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on
when I go off back
to the middle of nowhere
To give you something to go on -
to go on back to the middle of nowhere

Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth

I don't wanna wait anymore

Wake up cinnamon
They can't get in and that's them at the door,
Cuz checkout time is noon and pretty soon it's a quarter to four

I don't wanna wait anymore

Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone

Small town girls and boys make too much noise so I keep to myself
But acting tough is rough - enough is enough - I feel like hell
Tied up in London, you came undone with a two handed tug
With pieces of a phone, thrown at the door, spread out on the rug

I don't wanna wait anymore

Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone

I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away
And end this awful holiday
Come and play, come and stay, and end this awful holiday
I gotta say I cannot wait
Not even one more night or day
Why don't you fly and get away and end this awful holiday

Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone
Wash your dirty mouth
Your dirty mouth
Watch your little mouth cuz you taste like you're already gone

I found a soldier in a box
A souvenir that someone lost at such a cost
The cemetery gates were closed
Only the humming birds would smell the flowers brought for ghosts
There's not much fame or fortune
For the fortuneteller selling fortunes to the broke

Soldier in a box... he's mighty lonely
Soldier in a box... he's nothing special

He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself

"No need to say this letter better get to where he lays his head!" she said
Seventeen months of wondering why she forgot to send her thoughts was all he got instead

Her soldier in a box... he's mighty lonely
Soldier in a box... he's nothing special

He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody's there
He's serenading himself

He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares
He's serenading himself cuz nobody's there
He's celebrating himself cuz nobody cares

Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?

Running with scissors wasn't smart
I tripped and cut open your heart
I didn't mean to, but I seem to
Have pushed us back to the start

In the wake of my mistake
I felt your voice starting to shake
The timing couldn't have been worse
For me to be this far away

Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?

Traveled the world under your spell
Cast on me in a motel
It turned my rain clouds in to rainbows
But I couldn't even tell

As days apart turned in to weeks
My memory played hide and seek
While I was playing show n' tell
I took your trust and set it free

Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?

Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
Now who will dry your eyes?
Shame on you for getting wet
How can you act surprised?

Running with scissors wasn't smart
I tripped and cut open your heart
I didn't mean to, but I seem to
Have pushed us back to the start

In the wake of my mistake
I felt your voice starting to shake
The timing couldn't have been worse
For me to be this far away

Blame me for the elevator
I know you will
oh know you will
It's not me who's the operator
but you're going down down down
You'll be sorry when you're singing
all alone
But don't take me up
I'll just fall down once again
Don't take me up
I'll just fall down

Wake me when you're educated
I know you will
oh know you will
You'll be self medicated
you're spinning round
You'll be there
but no one will even know your name
But don't take me up
I'll just fall down once again
Don't take me up
I'll only find my way back down
Don't take me up
It's true I've dabbled at times with
confident lines
I was half of a man nearly
half of the time
In an innocent way
I thought it could stay
with us both on the ground
With us fooling around
Let's just stay on the ground
Let's stay fooling around
on the ground

Don't take me up
I'll just fall down like
I knew that I would
Don't take me up
I'll only find my way back down
Don't take me up
I'll just fall down

I'll just fall down

I'll just fall down
