radio

shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
i'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
while you're taking your time with apologies
i'm making my plans for revenge
red eyes on orange horizons
if Columbus was wrong i'd drive straight off the edge
i'd drive straight off the edge

taking your own life with boredom
i'm taking my own life with wine
it helps you to rule out the sorrow
it helps me to empty my mind
making the most of a bad time
i'm smoking the brains from my head
leaving the coal calling the kettle black and orange and red
this kettle is seeing red

i've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling
in case you haven't heard i'm sick and tired of trying
i wish you would take my radio to bathe with you
plugged in and ready to fall

shaking like a dog shittin' razorblades,
waking up next to nothing after dreaming of you and me
i'm waking up all alone, waking up so relieved
while you're taking your time with apologies
i'm planning out my revenge
red eyes on orange horizons
if Columbus was wrong i'd drive straight off the edge
i'm seeing red

i've got a big fat fuckin' bone to pick with you my darling
in case you haven't heard i'm sick and tired of trying
i wish you would take my radio to bathe with you
plugged in and ready to fall

plugged in and ready to fall

southern rock

i can't believe my heart's still pounding
i can't believe how close i came
and meanwhile heaven's falling
the fallen angels flown away
and that'll be me someday
with stolen wings and evil ways
straight south with the keys to the pearly gates

hard to believe my heart stopped pounding
hard to believe i played this game
my worst nightmares became real
i got so scared that i forgot my name
and that'll be me someday
with stolen wings and evil ways
straight south with the keys to the pearly gates

hell yes

i gave up on you a long time ago
how can you blame me?
we made plans to meet and you never showed
you kept me waiting
they said everything would work out just fine
they said you'd help me
but as it turns out it was all a lie
and they're off someplace far away laughing at me

you've been there for me one time in my life
but it didn't matter
you came and went so fast all my hope
and faith in you shattered
and now here i sit alone in this room
no one to confide in
you watched all my dreams come apart at the seams
you laughed, you left, you waited in hiding

bless me dark father i have sinned
i've done it before and i'll do it again
cuz it keeps me warm, and makes you smile
been beneath me all the while
hell yes

you gave up on me along time ago
i can't say i blame you
i rejected the faith in your holy rays
is what it comes down to
they said everything would work out just fine
i just went crazy
but i'm better now having a good time
being selfish, and drunken, and vulgar, and lazy

bless me dark father I have sinned
i've done it before and i'll do it again
cuz it keeps me warm, and makes you smile
been beneath me all the while

bless me dark father i can't win
without you i'm as good as dead
cuz you keep me warm, you make me smile
you've been on my shoulder all the while


whispering sweet nothings
you've been whispering sweet nothings

armageddon

i wrote the words to this song on the back of a photograph
behind your back it goes
a little something like this is way to big to miss
i got a letter in the mail
the sender failed to let me know where it came from
opened it up and sure enough there we were
arm in arm (up in arms) again
i know it's small but my last call's been called
half an hour ago
i know it's late but do you think you could at least
fix it for me
then i'll go i'll go alone i swear
i won't tell a soul
i'll drink this beer and write in fear
of a song everybody hates
armageddon, let the light in
before we say goodbye give us something to believe in
armageddon, we're not begging
for too much i don't think
just need a goodbye kiss (one last salute)
before we sink
we sink

private eye

i dragged this lake looking for corpses
dusted for prints, pried up the floorboards
pieces of planes and black box recorders
don't lie
and i've been preoccupied with these sick, sick senses
that sense dna on barbed wire fences
maybe someday i'll find me a suspect
that has no alibi
new year's eve was as boring as heaven
i watched flies fuck on channel 11
there was no one to kiss, there was nothing to drink
except some old rotten milk someone left in the sink
and there's no ring on the phone anymore
there's no reason to call I passed out on the floor
smoked myself stupid and drank my insides raisin dry
but at the right place at the right time
i'll be dead wrong and you'll be just fine
and i won't have to quit doing fucked up shit
for anyone but me
and at the right place at the right time
it will have been worth it to stand in line
and you won't have to stop
saying "i love cops" for anyone but me
your private eye

bleeder

you came to me like a dream
the kind that always leaves
just as the best part starts
it ends so abruptly
and leaves you stunned
and naked in your bedroom all alone
it’s kinda funny how something so soothing gets interrupted
by the ring of a telephone
and you broke me like the cigarette
that i busted on the day i quit
but now that i've been drinking
i'm outta smokes and i wish that i had it.
woke up to my daily headache
and the realization that you are gone
oh my sweet darling happiness
you've been away from me all along
one thing that i've never said
i'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
a lonely liver suspended in liquid
you came to me like a dream
the kind that always leaves
just as the best part starts
it ends so abruptly
and leaves you stunned
and naked in your bedroom all alone
it’s kinda funny how something so soothing gets interrupted
by the ring of a telephone
ine thing that i've never said
i'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
a lonely liver suspended in liquid
its one thing that i never did was smile
missing a case, lacking a lid
my heart bleeds for what you never did...
you never did
for what you never did...
never did.
for what you never did...
never did...
you never did...
it’s one thing that i've never said
i'm truly happy in my heart and in my head
a lonely liver suspended in liquid
its one thing that i never did was smile
missing a case, lacking a lid
my heart bled for what you never did until now.
