Альбом Deer Tick

I woke up this morning
I was feeling that this should end
Using all that time
And all my luck friends
I've got a bad defense
And it's not just circumstance
That put me here
In a bad, bad place where I stand
And you don't know
How easy it is
No, you don't know how easy it is
You were never there
No, never there
Out the door
With the devil in my eyes
That son of a bitch crossed me once
But he won't cross me twice
Little angel on my shoulder
Well she better be right
She got me flying like a wild man
In the middle of the night
And you don't know how easy it is
No, you don't know how easy it is
You were never there
No, never there
This whole world
And everything you see
There ain't nothing that'll keep you from
Getting to me
No, you don't know how easy it is
No, you don't know how easy it is
You got no idea how easy it is
No, you don't know how easy it is
You were never there
No, never there
Never there
You were never there

Well everybody, everybody who has reached out so far to me,
Well never did we ever think that these were desperate times or misery,
And they softly spoke of how it's supposed to be,
Never did I think that I was so naive.

So please let me be lonely tonight,
For how many times I thought this was the life,
But I'm not so sure I even am alive.

Well I've torn apart and warded off nearly every lover every friend,
Every smile was so delicate, floated around until the nights would end,
And I'd wander off and then I'd find a bed,
With the thought of her still dancing 'round my head...

So please let me be lonely tonight,
How many times I thought that you were right,
But I knew that they were all Little White Lies.

Oh!
You have my heart so take my money too,
Look at how I've gone and made myself a fool,
I couldn't please you, you never believed that I was true,
So darlin', oh darlin', please let me forget about you... Oh!

So please let me be lonely tonight,
You know that I don't want to have to yell or fight,
No I'm not the one to judge what's wrong and right.

So please, let me be lonely tonight,
Oh I know that in your heart you'll be just fine,
So forget you ever looked into my eyes.

Elbows on the window sill
My head against the pane
You've seen so many grow and die
But you forgot most of their names

So I fire that arrow into the great big sky
And I hope that it never comes down
Unless you're coming with it
It's better with you around

I could drink myself to death tonight
Or I could stand and give a toast
To those who made it out alive
It's you I'll miss the most

But tonight I'll see my sweetheart
I've got a fifty dollar bill
But somewhere in her weak heart
She knows I never will

Oh love, it's hard to hide it
True love, it's hard to find it
Though I was once beside it
I've fallen far behind it

From a tiny room up on Smith Hill
It's easy to disappear
It's easier to run off hiding
Then say "I don't want you here"
I can't stand to face the facts
It'd only leave you hurt
I don't care much for what you have to say
But I'd like to know what you heard

Oh love, it's hard to hide it
True love, it's hard to fid it
Though I once was beside it
I've fallen far behind it

It's a long way free
You can't tread on me
And in the morning when you're crying
You'll see

How can a man feel anything
When all he ever got was sympathy?
Take both your hands and put them round my neck
You're a fool for wanting everything
It couldn't be much fun being a millionaire to one
Cause a million's just a million of one thing
Cutting to the chase, I suppose there'll be a day
When all your tired hands will be put to shame
I've got a restless old woman standing by my side
She cannot wait for the finer things in life
She waited all this time so I suppose she has the right
But I drank away all the things I could provide
All of that aside I never meant to make her cry
But crying is just the baby inside
The ones that mess around that tend to fuss and bring us down
Tugging at your lips to make you frown
So my grandson will be living with a chip on his shoulder
And God don't listen to his prayers anymore
I hope he understands when he's a little bit older
That I always wished the best for him
Sing a lullaby in the morning when I rise
Sing it 'til I'm far away from here
If this can be my chance to feel it once in my life
Then sing it brother, cause I don't even care

I'll walk with the moon tonight
And cut through the air with a curse like a knife
And it can float around and I can do what I like
There's no good place in town but I feel alright
I ain't gonna talk like your sweetheart, no
I'm through messing around
And I ain't gonna talk like your sweetheart, no
I'm through always letting you down
There's nothing left and I am sure that it's a sign
That maybe I'm about as good as gone
I know it's best that in this empty heart of mine
Is where I'll begin to moving on
Oh, move on
I fit right on the face of the earth
So inane and soar
And I took it all for what it was worth
Cause it's not worth a penny more
Not anymore
And I ain't gonna talk like a gentleman, no
I'm thorough always chasing you around
I ain't gonna talk like a gentleman, no
I'm sick of always letting myself down
There's nothing left and I am sure that it's alright
And I was always just about as good as gone
And I know it's best that in this broken heart of mine is where I'll begin to moving on
Oh, move on

Is it wrong to think that it ain't no fun
To be anything but second to none?
When I'm second to him every time that I come around
Tell me baby, how long 'til we're gonna get down?
I'm a stranger now in my own house
I'm a brand new man watching her undo her blouse
I see my mama of a princess, though she herself was never a queen
So now I'm heading out West and I'm gonna get this body clean
Throw it out
Make some noise
Whatever that it takes you to destroy
Each and every sign of life but little old me
He's away
He's in jail
Why don't you man the ship before it sets sail?
I said we're heading absolutely, positively straight into a storm
If we go all the way back now, where the story began
Back when I was getting paid and I'm a lucky man
And then I got busy, and I'm messing up all my good things
I said. "I'ma sweep her, oh, sweep her right off her feet."
Now I'm sitting here afraid of my next move
I feel worlds apart from how she thinks I do
Sometimes baby, it feels like maybe I don't have any blood
No heart, no soul, no hands, no feet, no love
Throw it out
Make some noise
Whatever it takes you to destroy
Each and every sign of life but little old me
He's away
He's in jail
Why don't you man the ship before it sets sail?
I said we're heading absolutely, positively straight into a storm
Throw it out
Make some noise
Whatever it takes you to destroy
Each and every sign of life but little old me
He's away
He's in jail
Why don't you man the ship before it sets sail?
I said we're heading absolutely, positively straight into a storm

Come on baby it's a quarter to five
I've been living on the couch and I'm losing my mind
I haven't gotten a touch in a long, long time
Since Friday XIII part nine, going to hell
Thumbing through all the magazines
And I can drink a lot better than I could in my teens
Have we learned nothing but to kick and scream?
We're as civilized as we could have ever dreamed and what's that mean?
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Oh won't you please love me again?
The kind of attraction I couldn't leave
Keep watching the static on TV
Might be as well but not as bad
When your silence shows of our public failure
I woke up in the middle of the night
Sheets soaked, still drunk, terrified
Something tells me you're not alive
The pulse keeps getting softer
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Oh won't you please love me again?
Come on, baby
You've got something to lose
I'll buy you new clothes
I'll buy you new shoes
All kinds of things that we could really use
But all I need is you
I need you girl, you got that heart and soul
We've been living in the dark and digging our holes
But all that we need's right under our nose
Boy, don't you think I know?
I guess so
Come on baby won't you feel alright?
It feels like forever since I've been warm at night
So let's get back to what all that was fair and just
Oh won't you please love me again?
Please love me again

You don't have to say anything
But you have got to mean everything
This woman on my mind, her lies stink the same as mine
And I don't think I should go home to her
Desperate is my plan but hear my plea
When the cradle falls from the tree
If that babe ain't walking, and I have done my talking
Well, I will walk away a free man
There's a label on the bottle that I read
But it don't have a thing to do with me
I ain't carrying no child, it's only dreams I got inside
And tonight they're getting drunk with me
I tried to treat you with respect
Can't you do me one better than neglect?
All the time we spent apart, it really made us who we are
You're as lonely as a ghost on Halloween (You've been messing around behind my back)
So you don't have to say anything I know you didn't mean everything
Who could I be kidding?
I'll always have my mind on quitting
And I don't think that I'll feel no other way

Life is beautiful, but beauty is a dying art
Life is wonderful, there's only so much you can wonder about
Before life drives you mad, and before nobody cares
Before life drives you mad, and before nobody cares

There are only words, and words mean nothing at all
There's not a single word, to speak for my rambling around
But I was searching for something, a sleepless night, painless and drugged
Oh I was searching for something, a sleepless night, painless and drugged

Time means nothing at all, it's a mark of the living to die
Space is gonna fall, and the Sun's meant to stare us straight in the eye
So maybe you will feel fire, maybe some day your love is wild
Maybe you will feel fire, maybe some day your love is wild

Heaven is an endless pit, I can fall forever but I'd never make it
Hell is all that you know, cause you've been hurt and you've walked on coals
And you crush under every command, hell on Earth is what life's always been
Yeh, you crush under every command, hell on Earth is what life's always been

Lost in foreign tongues
I was stung by your velvet touch

Look to the eyes, so black
They're so cracked, I was your last attack

If you call on me
Then I'm left to see
No, I'll never be that man you wish I'd be

If you call on me
Then I'm left to see,
No I'll never be those things that you should see

See that boy sleeps
Upon steel beams, he's made of dreams

You look to the eyes so black
They're so cracked, I was your last attack

See that little man
Running with his severed hands,
No he'll never work in this town again

See that little man
He's got the severed hands,
And he'll never work in this town again

Lost in foreign tongues
I was stung by your velvet touch
