Pick a Place and Read
Well I said, "Take it or leave it," and she left it on the bedroom floor
There was quiet in the corners, there was trouble in a bag behind the door
And all the lies too oft repeated, they were seated in repose upon the porch
And in the midst of all this clamor is the struggle to remember us before
Now that you're holding up your diary every time we meet
Saying this may be the single saddest book there'll ever be
Sit down beside me, pick a place and read
And I will hear you, and I will hear you
And on that day you took your turn, I sat with loneliness we learned
Hungry as the desert sun, darling of the doomed and drunk
And all the bad news that can fit jumps in my ear
And does insist that these things always end like this
Like this, oh woah
This, like this
Well we knew there would be trials
We knew there would be faults
And it was gonna take a while yet
To start to see results
Now that you're holding up your diary every time we meet
Saying this may be the single saddest book there'll ever be
Sit down beside me, pick a place and read
And I will hear you, and I will hear you
And on that day you took your turn, I sat with loneliness we learned
Hungry as the desert sun, darling of the doomed and drunk
And all the bad news that can fit jumps in my ear
And does insist that these things always end like this
Like this, oh woah
This, like this
3:51
Dear Old Dad
Good old dad, he showed his hand
He poured his drink on the carpet
And outside I was watching the fireworks
Burn out above like a card trick
And when we slept you left your bed
And ran to the arms of a grown man
And all that night you left your light in
The back of Vanessa Martin's mom's van
And you still just borrow what you cannot steal
You will ask what isn't owed
When you find out that none of that is real
Come back and dance the night away in dirty clothes
One by one we all moved on
While you just clung to your childhood
And all that shame you prick your veins with
Will never love you like I do
Someone stands to hold your hand
Oh, down there deep in the barroom
All the night look left and right
Love, tell me, tell me, where are you?
And you still just borrow what you cannot steal
You will ask what isn't owed
When you find out that none of that is real
Come back and dance the night away in dirty clothes
La da dee da
Da dee da dee da
Da dee da dee da
Da dum [x4]
And you still just borrow what you cannot steal
You will ask what isn't owed
When you find out that none of that is real
Come back and dance the night away in dirty clothes
7:19
Goat's Milk
Well I remember you, you haven't changed a bit
You've still got that sadness, it's hanging from your lips
You point your tattooed fingers at the fish
As they swim off to the sunset so freely
(Oh there they go, there there they go)
With the contents of your pockets you give surnames like Shabazz
Treat them like your children and you dress them up in drag
You're all down passing out predictions on the ave
To conclusions of the book we are both reading
(Somewhere between the spines)
They say time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
He says "well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones"
You look into the mirror blowing kisses at your flaws
Speaking broken Spanish, drinking goat's milk through a straw
The twinkle from your eyes is said to stimulate the gods
Or the businessmen who idolize your lunchbox
(Saying what's he got, well what's he got)
You watch the soldiers starving from your bleachers in the shade
On Halloween you heed their knocks and feed them hand grenades
You'll suffer through martinis while ol' Frank Sinatra's played
On the speakers there to drown out the gunshots
(Oh my, my, my, my)
Time is always watching, he pours himself a drink
He says "well I don't read the news, I'd rather use that time to think
How I fly on by while you fiddle with your phones
Like foolish waves go crashing over unsuspecting stones"
(Oh my, my, my, my)
Communism's crumbled, cabinets have lied
And if they told you half the truth, you'd do your best to act surprised
There are holes in every mountain, lines on every road
There are tractors at the tree line making gypsies of the Joads
10:09
May the Road
May all the roads that you take now be smooth ones
And you will awake with a smile
Should all your wanderings bring to you wisdoms
Which you can forget for a while
When there is gold darling for you to find there
May you make of it the most
It will not matter now too much if I'm there
You'll be there, there, there for us both
May all your happiness these days be lasting
And you'll know what's real and what's not
Go now and glorify all of your passions
And be good to what you have got
When you are called, darling down to the river
Don't you just run to get wet
Stretch your paws along the shores
And gaze, gaze, gaze into her depths
Stretch your paws along the shores
And gaze, gaze, gaze into her depths
Stretch your paws along her shores
And gaze, gaze, gaze into her depths
12:44
Junk Food Chiminey
I could be happy if I died today
If I go on living, I will try do same
And all of our old quarrels may swing down soon
They are calling from the rafters, our clarity a fluke
But for now, let's make love with the lights on
And I won't wonder where you have been nor with whom
The pictures of your saints hanging crooked from the drywall
The body of the goddess in your thin red shoes
And none need understand all the reasons we have come here
But as the days grow shorter they may have their say
Look me in the eyes before they do, little darling
I would be happy if I died today
13:54
Heaven is a Chandelier
Go and get your drugs, honey
Go and get your drugs
I am fond of those things too
Some of them so much
Give away my whole life to 'em
Give away my bed
Come about on some strange couch
Just wishing that I were dead
Ashley hitched from Houston
She was raped in Abilene
Beaten with a bottle
As the night laid mute her screams
When she finally reached here
She was happy as can be
There's a bright light shining in the big blue sky
And I never know what it means
And I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month
Heaven is a chandelier
But don't all look up at once
I go down to the park to give away my cigarettes
I go down to the park where I sit and wait for death
But I can't wait forever with the breezes and the bums
The soldiers came to shoot us down but Jesus jammed the guns
And when the bottles all were empty, when he called us to our feet
He promised us salvation and some real nice things to eat
We were good then 'til the morning when the daylight did us in
Oh the past it picked our pretty little pockets, it gets thirsty for revenge
And I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month
Heaven is a chandelier, but don't all look up at once
Oh I can't help singing dirges on the ides of every month
Heaven is a chandelier, so don't all look up at once
(Lyrics Pasted from Genius Lyrics)
