With the cops on your lips it's a holy routine If you'd stop all your trips you could see what I mean I forgot not to slip 'bout you're under 18 You had it in your hands, had it in your hands You had it in your hands, had it in your hands your hands, oh oh hoo
Leave it up to me It's a known disease Keep it in your fleece Don't worry about the custom police, don't I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer
But you got no relief from the pain in your head And it's hollow and greased and it says that you're dead But you make fun and tease and the things that you said They always stab your back, always stab your back... They always stab your back, always stab your back Your back, oh ho hoo
Leave it up to me It's a known disease Keep it in your fleece Don't worry about the custom police, don't I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer
They always stab your back, always stab your back... They always stab your back, always stab your back Your back, ouh ho hoo
Leave it up to me It's a known disease Keep it in your fleece Don't worry about the custom police, don't I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer
Leave it up to me It's a known disease Keep it in your fleece Don't worry about the custom police, don't I'll tell you just how good it can be And I've been holding out for love ever since I had a heart
When you were young What did you dream? What did you love? What would you be?
A rush from your head... Down to your feet And everything stopped.
And you wanted it So much. You said you needed it So much. But then you hated it So much. You said you took it down You took it now You wanna go back to those bad days Cryin like youve never been hurt Waitin for the next drug
Oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh Ohh-oh
You said youll never be hurt
Oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Ah ah ah
Under your coat Under your sleeves Now youre a ghost Nobody sees
You lay down your head But youll never sleep Youll never forget...
How you wanted it So much. You said you needed it So much. But then you hated it So much. You said you took it down You took it now You wanna go back to those bad days Beatin on somebodys car Waitin for the next drug
Oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh Ohh-oh
You said youd never be hurt Cryin like youve never been hurt Waitin for the next drug
Oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Ah ah ah
Now your shame is sticking out It makes you wanna shout Im so sorry And you wanted it So much. You said you needed it So much. But then you hated it So much. You said you took it down You took it now You wanna go back to those bad days Beatin on somebodys car Waitin for the next drug
Oh Oh-oh Oh-oh Oh Ohh-oh
You said youd never be hurt Cryin like youve never been hurt Waitin for the next drug
Don?t you worry baby, I told you I was coming home. I went into the back, fell between the cracks, all alone. So when you say you did, well I say you didn?t. When you roll your eyes, I think you?re kidding. It?s a memory; that we could never be. And it?s big and black, it?s stuck on your shoulder. And it drags you down, it makes you feel older. It?s a photograph, all that we never had. It?s a lot (It?s a lot) A? 4
And it?s a cardboard box, stuck in a corner. It?s your back wood talk, I?ll make it in tone. It?s your funny ring. Midas is everything. And it?s the call I made, when you were looking. It?s the slack I gave, I read in a book. It?s a magazine, all that you?ve never seen. It?s a lot (It?s a lot) A? 3 It?s a lot
And it?s not what you thought It?s a lot
Don?t you worry baby, I told you I was coming home. I would never leave you there, waiting in your chair, all alone. So when you say you did, well I say you didn?t. When you roll your eyes, I think you?re kidding. It?s a memory; All we could never be. It?s a lot (It?s a lot) A? 7 It?s a lot And it?s not what you thought It?s a lot
Well it all began like a new routine We were drunk, we were tired, we were sick, we were in between And the jig was up when the sun went down It was dark, it was mean, it was black, there was not a sound And when the morning papers did not come We shook our heads We knew that we were done And so we sat and prayed for just another try
Throw your babies in the water Dah Dah Dah Let your hair down like you used to And tell all your sons and daughters Dah Dah Dah They don't have to grow up like you They're not supposed to
Now the birds don't sing and the cars won't go There's a lump in your throat There's no songs on the radio And the walls caved in, and the well went dry, and the mountain shook And the people all wondered why And in the morning I woke up to find there's someone here There's someone in mind and so I hung my head and And began to cry
Throw your babies in the water Dah Dah Dah Let your hair down like you used to And tell all your sons and daughters Dah Dah Dah They don't have to grow up like you They're not supposed to
Cradled whipped and mother's tongue It's not hard to see what went wrong If I told you once like I done told you twice, You can beg you can kneel you can pray, you'll be sacrificed And when the morning papers did not come We shook our heads We knew that we were done And so we sat and prayed for just another try
Throw your babies in the water Dah Dah Dah Let your hair down like you used to And tell all your sons and daughters Dah Dah Dah They don't have to grow up like you They're not supposed to
Throw your babies in the water Dah Dah Dah Let your hair down like you used to And tell all your sons and daughters Dah Dah Dah They don't have to grow up like you They're not supposed to
Here I am, Its just so far to go I had you in my sight, well then you turn out all the lights I had a big idea, I was gonna let you know. But my voice was strange. it changed before i let it go But first you're so in love, then you're suffocated But when you told me off. Well I was serenated
Im awake. let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up Like you're with the one you love. Wait. Act like you don't know me. Stick around and show me up, like you're with the one you love
I see you out with him, and we go toe to toe You broke my heart in half but still I couldn't help but laugh Just when I thought I could. . never love you more You said you'd rather see me dead, then at your door. But first you're so in love, then you're suffocated
But when you told me off. Well I was serenated
Im awake. let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up Like you're with the one you love. Wait. Act like you don't know me. Stick around and show me up like you're with the one you love
I should give you up, but I just can't get enough.
Just when I thought I could never love you more. You said you'd rather see me dead then at your door.
Wait let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up, like you're with the one you love. Wait. Act like you don't know me. Stick around and show me up like you're with the one you love
Throw away the paper And throw away the mail Be bad if you wanna Be prepared to feel And all the expectations I will never meet Take you to the point Of never believing And you're tired of me
My love,
But there's no one here who loves you like I do Thank god this much is true Thank god this much is true And there s no one here who knows just .. How I feel Thank god this much is real Thank god this much is .. Real and .. Broken .. Down ..
So put it all behind you Where you cannot see And if you're growing older Don't forget me Cause I will disappoint you Just because I can And I will bring you back To all that you say when you wanna call me friend And every time I show you How this is gonna end
My love,
But there s no one here who loves you like I do Thank god this much is true Thank god this much is true And there s no one here who knows just .. How I feel Thank god this much is real Thank god this much is .. Real and .. Broken .. Down ..
Cry if you wanna Tear down the walls But there s no one here who love you Or who come each time you call So throw away the paper And throw away the mail Be bad if you wanna But be prepared to feel
But there's no one here who loves you like I do Thank god this much is true Thank god this much is true And there s no one here who knows just .. How I feel Thank god this much is real Thank god this much is .. Real and .. Broken .. Down ..
Won't you be good to yourself Don't you feel like coming home It'll be good It'll be like coming home
Blend all your days into weeks Keep all your thoughts to yourself It'll be good It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay And I've been feeling dead since you went away You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
Won't you bring light to my day Won't you be somebody new It'll be good It'll be like coming home
And tell me that you wanna be With nobody else but me It'll be good It'll be like coming home
Because you need a place to stay And I've been feeling dead since you went away You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home
But oh, it's not a joke It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove It's nothing new It's up to you And when I feel it I hope you feel it too Did you hear it Yeah I heard it And I think she's coming home to me
