Kings Of Leon

Stranded in the spooky town
Stop lights are swaying and the phone lines are down
The floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangle of vein
Showing no mercy, I'd do it again
Open up your eye
You keep on crying, baby, I'll bleed you dry
The skies, they blink at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea

And it's coming closer

You shimmy shook my bone
Leaving me stranded, all in love on my own
Do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby, where do I sleep?
Feels so good, but I'm old
Two thousand years of chasing, taking its toll

And it's coming closer

Single book of matches is gonna burn what's standing in the way
Roaring down the mountain, now they are calling on the fire brigade
Bury all the pictures and tell the kids that I'm okay
If'n I'm forgotten you'll remember me for today

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I

All the black inside me is slowly seeping from the bone
Everything I cherish is slowly dying or it's gone
Little shaken babies and drunkards seem to all agree
Once the show gets started it's bound to be a sight to see

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I, I don't want to be here holding on
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I

Watch her roll, can you feel it?
Watch her roll, can you feel it?
Watch her roll, can you feel it?
Watch her roll, can you feel it?

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I, I don't want to be here holding on (Watch her roll, can you feel it?)
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone (Watch her roll)
I

Come on out and dance
If you get the chance
We're gonna spit on the rivals
All I wanna know
Is how far you wanna go
Fighting for survival

Underneath the stars
Where we parked the cars
Ain't showing signs of stopping
Pretty little girls
Naked to their curls
Ready to lay in a coffin'

If you wanna go
I'm gonna go
I've got a fire burning
Go on take my hand
When we see the band
Baby's gonna be a big one, oh yeah

Baby's gonna be a big one

When we see the lights
And we hear the fights
It's gonna be a stunner
I've got something here
If you give me one more beer
I'm gonna call the runner

I don't wanna say
What I have to say
Babe, I'm a kicking off now
If you wanna go
I'm gonna go
I'm going back down South now

I'm going back down South now

If you wanna go
I'm going back down South now
Come on take my hand
I'm going back down South now
When we see the lights
And we hear the fights
I'm going back down South now
All I wanna know
Is how far you wanna go
I'm going back down South now, oh yeah

I'm going back down South now

Got an attitude
Thinking that he's always right
Blowing smoke rings
Making me wanna fight

And then I look back
At all things I've ever done
And then I look up
Seeing that he's on the run

Seeing that he's on the run

It's a big thing
Everything your heart desires
And now I have to
Try and outdo the fight

I caught a big break
When playing in the role
I saw you laughing
Even though you know it's so

Even though you know it's so

Even when you're on the run

Even though you know it's so

It's in the way she often calls me out
It's in the cut of your pretty gown
Your come-on-legs and your pantyhose
You look so precious with your bloody nose

We're gonna come together, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday
I don't wanna know just what I'm gonna do
I don't care where you're going, I'm coming along with you

Walking her home with a grassy feel
Falling and laughing at the drinks we spill
Just one of those nights that I have to share
Chasing your death without a care

We're gonna come together, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday
I don't wanna know just what I'm gonna do
I don't care where you're going, I'm coming along with you

You know I love the way you curve

We're gonna come together, we're gonna celebrate
We're gonna gather around like it's your birthday
I don't want to know just what I'm gonna do
I don't care where you're going, I'm coming along with you

Hang your weary head you seem defeated
Like the little girl you've been with cheated
And in the conversation had to go too far
Now your dropped off drunk in the back of your heart

So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using all you know it's meant for fools

See you're smoking up in the parking lot
Shake your little butt, show 'em what you got
?? Hot and the men all want and the chase is on ??
Now your flag is flying in the dark and cold

So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using all you know it's meant for fools

It's in a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air

Are ya'll giving up? Don't want to know now
And everybody sees everybody in your town
Oh, and the small town girl she went and got a bar
She gonna shake it off she gonna give 'em what she's got

So dry your lily eyes don't be so cruel
Using aw you know, i said it's meant for fools

This is a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air
This is a celebration
There's something in the air
A little celebration
There's something in the air

Stranded in the spooky town
Stop lights are swaying and the phone lines are down
The floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun

Driven by the strangle of vein

Leaving me stranded, all in love on my own
Do you think of me?
Where am I now, baby, where do I sleep?
Feels so good, but I'm old
Two thousand years of chasing, taking its toll

And it's coming closer

Mary, if you wanna
I'll waive my right
I'll be on the corner
Just passin' time

No, I won't
Never once
Make you cry
Just to kiss
Oh, I'll miss
Your goodbye

We'll go to the disco
We'll be a sight
We'll dance like were boyfriends
In sheer delight

No, I won't
Never once
Make you cry
With the kiss
Oh, I'll miss
Your goodbye

Oh, I won't
Never once
Make you cry
Just to kiss
Oh, and I'll miss
Your goodbye

I got a friend
Shows me all the good times
Tells me I look better
Chews me up and spits me out
And then walk my ass home
And sings a song
When I'm gone, gone, gone

I got a friend
Shoots me up and downtown
When I can't get me drunk enough
She picks me out the pieces
Of a place I call home
To sing a song
'Till I'm gone, gone, gone

Gone, gone, gone

I've got a friend
Who helps me to get up again
Showers me in bruises
Tells me I've got a big old di--
And she wants my ass home
To sing a song
'Till I'm gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone
Gone, gone, gone

Won't you give me something I need
Won't you peel me off of the street
Go and wet my tongue
Spit me up and break me a fever

Give me something I can believe in
Give me something, to walk me away
I'm a waste of time
And all in all waste of a living
Waste of a living

Can't you see me walking alone
I've been down to the horns and back
And I'm way too tired
Of blowing out the burning candles

I got no money, but I want you so
I got no money, but I want you so
I got so much I cannot handle
Cannot handle
I cannot handle

And all this pissin' around
Cut loose in this fucking town
I ain't coming back
I got my ticket on to the next one

I got no money, but I want you so
I got no money, but I want you so
And I want and I want and I want and I want it

Walk you home to see
Where you're living around
And I know this place
Pour yourself on me
And you know I'm the one
That you won't forget

In your denim eyes
I see something's awry
And I see you're weak
When he comes around
I see you're fixin' to shine
And my face won't speak

Hate to be so emotional
I didn't aim to get physical
But when he pulled in and revved it up
I said, you call that a pickup truck?
And in the moonlight I throwed him down
All kickin', screamin' and rollin' around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know, oh

Trembling misery
And as cold as a hole
I hug your bones and skin
Crackling woods gone white
And my eye swoll up now
I can see the light

Hate to be so emotional
I didn't aim to get physical
But when he pulled in and revved it up
I said, you call that a pickup truck?
And in the moonlight I throwed him down
All kickin', screamin' and rollin' around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know, oh

Just so you know, oh

Hate to be so emotional

All kickin', screamin' and rollin' around
A little piece of a bloody tooth
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know I was thinking of you
Just so you know, oh

Just so you know, oh

I got razor sharp mind that wants to cut you down
A little place in mind maybe I could bed you down
Pony up, we got a ways to go
Set me up my friend, I'm running low

Oh, if you take my hand I'm gonna get you outta here
The crash of bottles breaking and the swinging chandelier
In a rain of bullets and blood and snow
I saw the midnight coming and I watched her go

In a rain of bullets and blood and snow
I saw the midnight come and I watched her go
Yeah, I watched her go
I watched her

I watched her go

Single book of matches is gonna burn what's standing in the way
Roaring down the mountain, now they are calling on the fire brigade
Bury all the pictures and tell the kids that I'm okay
If'n I'm forgotten you'll remember me for today

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone

All the black inside me is slowly seeping from the bone
Everything I cherish is slowly dying or it's gone

Watch her roll, can you feel it?
Watch her roll, can you feel it?
Watch her roll, can you feel it?
Watch her roll, can you feel it?

I, I won't ever be your cornerstone
I, I don't want to be here holding on (Watch her roll, can you feel it?)
I, I won't ever be your cornerstone (Watch her roll)
I

When the roll is called up yonder
I hope you see me there

It's in the water, it's where you came from
It's in the water, it's where you came from

When the crowd begins to wonder
And they cry to see your face

It's in the water, it's in the story, of where you came from
Your sons and daughters, in all their glory, it's gonna shape her
And when they clash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from

So the roll it was called from yonder
Never sold yourself away

It's in the water, it's in the story, it's where you came from
The sons and daughters, in all their glory, it's gonna shape them
And when they clash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from

And when they clash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from

When the roll is called up yonder
I hope you see me there

It's in the water, it's where you came from
It's in the water, it's where you came from

When the crowd begins to wonder
And they cry to see your face

It's in the water, it's in the story, of where you came from
Your sons and daughters, in all their glory, it's gonna shape her
And when they clash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from

So the roll it was called from yonder
Never sold yourself away

It's in the water, it's in the story, it's where you came from
The sons and daughters, in all their glory, it's gonna shape them
And when they clash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from

And when they clash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from

I don’t want the street lights
Laughing at the grave
He swears he's gonna give it up
It's never gonna be enough

I just wanna be there
When you're all alone
Thinking about a better day
When you had it in your bones

This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end

I see you in the evening
Sitting on your throne
You're playing with a fireball
And post it up against wall

I just wanna hold you
Take you by your hand
And tell you that you're good enough
And tell you that it's gonna be tough

This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end

Cos I ain't got a home

Running from the street lights
Shining on the grave
Once you’ve had the good stuff
Never gonna fill you up

I wanna be the one who
Gives them all a whirl
And gives them all the finger at it
Just a little taste of it

This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end
This could be the end

Cos I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
No I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam

Said I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam
No I ain't got a home
I'll forever roam

I ain't got a home

Beneath the dance hall lights
You see my girl so sound
Lights up the ground
If you give up New York
I'll give you Tennessee
The only place to be

The cowboy's burning eyes
Don't like the sight of me
Just straight enough to breathe
I like your point of view
So don't shy away
Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

You had me holding on
Another time and place
Ride out the wave
Bury yourself away
The one and only face
Ride out the wave

Ride out the wave

The open road, the path of greatness
It's at your fingers
Go be the one that keeps on fighting
Go be the stranger
Just put your foot in front the other
Crow like a rooster
Be all in all, together something
Fear is a danger
I say

Spill on the streets of stars
Ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face

The windows are the perfect picture
They're always changing
Go on, get lost, jump in the waters
When they are raging
I say

Spill out on the streets of stars
Ride away
Find out what you are
Face to face
Once you've had enough
Carry on
Don't forget to love
Before you're gone

Come on out and dance
If you get the chance
We're gonna spit on the rivals
All I wanna know
Is how far you wanna go
Fighting for survival

It's in the water, it's where you came from
It's in the water, it's where you came from

When the crowd begins to wonder
And they cry to see your face

It's in the water, it's in the story, of where you came from
Your sons and daughters, in all their glory, it's gonna shape her
And when they clash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water where you came from, where you came from

So the roll it was called from yonder
Never sold yourself away

It's in the water, it's in the story, it's where you came from
The sons and daughters, in all their glory, it's gonna shape them
And when they clash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from

And when they clash and come together, and start rising
Just drink the water, where you came from, where you came from

I've been roaming around, always looking down and all I see
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody

Someone like you and all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street

You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you

Off in the night while you live it up, I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat

I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice

Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me, somebody

Go and let it out

Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody
Someone like you, somebody

I've been roaming around, always looking down and all I see

I got a notion to say what doesn't feel right
Got an answer in your story, today
It gave me a sign that didn't feel right, no

So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before

I just wanted to know if I could go home
Been rambling in day after day
And everyone says I don't know

So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before
So don't knock it, don't knock it, you've been here before

Got a notion to say what doesn't feel right

Find yourself a new frontier,
'Cause life is goin', goin', gone.
Fly yourself away from here into the clear,
Before its goin', goin', gone.

Say it loud and in a lie,
Before its goin, goin, gone.
Shake the hands, the hands that pick, pick the fight,
'Cause life is goin', goin', gone.

Yes I'll find you, and cut you down.
Bitter neighbors, a sleepy town.
Did you wake up all alone?
Pick your face up, we come we go,
We live until we live no more.

Travel with the dead black eye,
Before it's come and - come and gone.
Cradles and the rockin' chairs that make a life,
Before its come and - come and gone.

Yes I'll find you, and cut you down.
Bitter neighbors, a sleepy town.
Did you wake up on the floor?
Pick your face up, we come and go, we come and go,
We come and go.

I don't care what nobody says, we're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coupe de Ville, she's buckled up on navy
She don't care what her momma says, no, she's gonna have my baby
I'm taking all I have to take because taken's gonna shape me

People call us renegades 'cause we like living crazy
We like takin' on the town because peoples gettin' lazy
I don't care what nobody says, no, I'm gonna be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk, but I love her like no other

And the doctor seems to say he don't know
Where we're gonna go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go

People call us renegades 'cause we like living crazy
We like takin' on this town 'cause peoples gettin' lazy
I don't care what nobody says, no, I'm going to be her lover
Always mad and usually drunk, but I love her like no other

And her daddy doesn't say that he knows
Where we're gonna go
I'm a ghost and I don't think I quite know
Where we're gonna go

Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna go
Where we're gonna

People call us renegades
We like taking on this town

I don't care what nobody says, we're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coupe de Ville, she's buckled up on navy
She don't care what her momma says, she's gonna have my baby
I'm taking all I have to take because taken's gonna shape me

I'll be the one to show you the way
You'll be the one to always complain
Three in the morning come a bang,bang, bang
All out of fags and I just can't wait

Cancel the thing that I said I'd do
I don't feel comfortable talking to you
'Less you got the zipper fixed on my shoe
Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

Heart

Look at the shaky's, what's with the blush?
Fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyone's gathered to idolize me
I hate the way you talk, your Japanese scream

It's been too long since I left the shed
You kick the bucket and I'll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made
Too young to die, but old is a grave

I've been roaming around

Always looking down at all i see

Painted faces fill the places i can't reach



You know that i could use somebody

You know that i could use somebody



Someone like you

And all you know

And how you speak



Countless lovers under cover of the street



You know that i could use somebody

You know that i could use somebody



Someone like you



Off in the night,

while you live it up

I'm off to sleep



Waging wars to shape the poet and the beat



I hope it's gonna make you notice

I hope it's gonna make you notice



Someone like me

Someone like me

Someone like me somebody



Someone like you somebody

Someone like you somebody

Someone like you somebody



I've been roaming around

Always looking down at all i see

To grant me my purpose, bury me beneath the surface.
I'm scratchin', I'm clawin', tryin' hard to make a play.
Can't stand me beside me, give you not you get, you'll kill me.
The cold of my burrow, never sees the light of day.

Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story.
Call me, call me, I'll be there to shine a light.

The swell of the speakers, sweaty ballroom dancing fever.
They gather in numbers, help her for a closer view.
The cease fire, the weaker, here's the red, I couldn't keep her.
The dogs hound the neighbors, everything was blown away.

Call me, call me, you could only hurt the story.
Call me, call me, I'll be there to shine a light.
Machine, machines point me to the nearest party.
You'll see, you'll see, baby it's the only way.

Call me, call me, you could only...
Call me, call me, I'll be there...
Machines, machines, point me to the nearest party

Lay where you're layin', don't make a sound
I know they're watchin', they're watchin'
All the commotion, the kiddie-like play
Has people talkin', talkin'

You, your sex is on fire

The dark of the alley, the breakin' of day
Head while I'm drivin', I'm drivin'
Soft lips are open, your knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dyin', you're dyin'

You, your sex is on fire
Consumed, were the words to transpire

Hot as a fever, rattlin' bones
I could just taste it, taste it
If it's not forever, if it's just tonight
Oh, we're still the greatest, the greatest, the greatest

You, your sex is on fire

And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed, were the words to transpire

And you, your sex is on fire
Consumed, were the words to transpire

Oh she's only seventeen Whine whine whine, weep over everything Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the street Brothers fighting, when's the baby gonna sleep Heaving ship too sails away Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session It's a tick of our time and the tic in her head that made me feel so strange So I could call you baby, I could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million Oh it's the rolling of your Spanish tongue that made me wanna stay Oh she's only seventeen Whine whine whine, weep over everything Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the street Brothers fighting, when's the baby gonna sleep Heaving ship too sails away Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session It's a tick of our time and the tic in her head that made me feel so strange Said I could call you baby, I could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million Oh it's the rolling of her Spanish tongue that made me wanna stay I could call you baby, I could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million Oh it's the rolling of your Spanish tongue that made me wanna stay

Taking to the floor with the wheel to the sky I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie Locking down the door with the rhythm and rhyme I loosen my tie, I loosen my tie Trying to recall what you want me to say I shake your way, I shake your way Counting on the night for a beautiful day I shake your way, I shake your way And I say you can't get enough No you can't get enough Given a chance, I'm gonna be somebody If for one dance, I'm gonna be somebody Open the door, it's gonna make you love me Facing the floor, I'm gonna be somebody Now is your time and you know where you stand With a gun in your hand, with a gun in your hand Now I'm no longer an ordinary man Was this your big plan, your gun in your hand And I say you can't get enough No you can't get enough Given a chance, I'm gonna be somebody If for one dance, I'm gonna be somebody Open the door, it's gonna make you love me Facing the floor, I'm gonna be somebody Be somebody Be somebody

Stranded in this spooky town Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down This floor is crackling cold She took my heart, I think she took my soul With the moon I run Far from the carnage of the fiery sun Driven by the strangled vein Showing no mercy I do it again Open up your eye You keep on crying, baby I’ll bleed you dry The skies are blinking at me I see a storm bubbling up from the sea And it's coming closer And it's coming closer You, shimmy shook my bone Leaving me stranded all in love on my own What do you think of me Where am I now? Baby where do I sleep Feel so good but I'm old, 2000 years of chasing taking its toll And it’s coming closer And it’s coming closer And it’s coming closer And it’s coming closer

I'm on the corner, waiting for a light to come on That's when I know that you're alone It's cold in the desert, water never sees the ground Special unspoken without sound You told me you loved me, that I'd never die alone Hand over your heart, let's go home Everyone noticed, everyone has seen the signs I've always been known to cross lines I've never ever cried when I was feeling down I've always been scared of the sound Jesus don't love me, no one ever carried my load I'm too young to feel this old Is it you, is it me Or does nobody know, nobody see Nobody but me

You fall, my Pride Don't ever need apologize Your lips, unfold Shakin' purple from the cold You better learn to Crawl You better learn to Crawl [ Chorus ] Before I Walk away Before I Walk away You broke, My mouth The bloody bits I'm spittin out?

Don't ever need to apologize
As your lips unfold
Shaking purple from the cold

You better learn to crawl
You better learn to crawl
Before I walk away
Before I walk away

You broke my mouth
The bloody bits are spitting out
Is your grave unscathed?
The worm is counting down the day

He wants to see you crawl

Before I walk away
Before I walk away

The reds and the whites and abused
The crucified USA
As every prophecy unfolds
Oh, Hell is surely on its way

As the rat and the fly
They're searching for an alibi
As we wait the wrath
They never went to Sunday Mass

They want to see us crawl
They want to see us crawl
Before they walk away
Before they walk away

The reds and the whites and abused
The crucified USA
As every prophecy unfolds
Oh, Hell is surely on its way

She said call me now, baby, and I'd come a running
She said call me now, baby, and I'd come a running
If you'd call me now, baby, I'd come a running

I'm on call to be there
One and all, to be there
And when I fall to pieces
Lord you know I'll be there waiting

To be there

I'm on call to be there
One and all to be there
And when I fall to pieces
Lord, you know I'll be there waiting

I'm gonna brawl, so be there
One for all, we'll be there
And when they fall to pieces

I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there

That taste
All I ever needed
All I ever wanted
Too dumb to surrender

She shakes
Like the morning railway
Checking me out
With someone on her shoulder

The lamp
Flickers in the bedroom
She must feel as awkward
Whorehouse Arizona

And I go
Stand up to a giant
Said that I'm a fighter
Too drunk to remember
Too drunk to

Shake hands

My face
Is laying on the pavement
Tasting something awful
I hate when that happens

And she waves
Thinking that it's sexy
She must be plum crazy
I kinda think I like her
I kinda think I do

My cold, cold sailor heart says get on your way
I ain't too proud to say but that's how I'm made
I'll be that person till my dying day
I try so awful hard but I can't change

From runways to the road I ramble alone
This thumbnail size of heart is black as coal
Your beauty it still bring me to my knees
Don't waste a tear on me, it's my disease

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me

Those preppy boys in blue they're making fun of us
So we take it to the street 'cause we're an ornery cuss
But we're not here to make your children bleed
We're here to cover ground with a tumbleweed

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
Now guitar

Don't take these boots off me when you think that I'm dead
I'll still be running from the demon in my head
I'll be that person till my dying day
I try so awful hard but I can't change

Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no smell on me
I'll blow off in your sleep
Don't leave no smell on me
Don't leave no, left behind

She looks so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy it go, go, goes
I rev my bike next to her Camaro
And when I bite on her smile then she'll blow and she blows

I'm making eyes through my sharp sunglasses
She's such a brat now I'm packing her cigarettes
I guess I'll take off these great sunglasses
It makes her look me in the eye before she's taken away

Looks so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, it go, go, goes
She looks so cool in that new Camaro
So black as coal and it go, don't it go, go, go

She looks so cool in her new Camaro
It's black as coal and it goes boy, it go, go, goes
I rev my bike next to her Camaro
And when I bite on her smile then she blows, she blows
She blows, she blows

Homegrown
Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you got the face to play the role
And you can play with me

And all the bros
Try for the courage and try for charity tight clothes
She's got a hat and all the hat says is "Asshole"
She'll be bobbing to me

Pretty hairdos
And those lipstick kisses blown yeah. that's the right move
Make me feel like I'm the one who moves you
The only one you see

Now, take it down
And don't you let those tears quench the thirsty ground
And don't you be so scared that you can't make a sound
Make a sound for me

All of London sing
'Cause England swing and they should love the tales I bring
And those raining days, they ain't so bad when you're the king
The king they want to see

Homegrown
Rock to the rhythm and bop to the beat of the radio
You ain't got the slang but you got the face to play the role
And you can play with me

Pretty hairdos
And those lipstick kisses blown yeah, that's the right move
They make me feel like I'm the one who is moving you
The only one you see

All of London sing

The king they want to be

I don't care what nobody says, we're gonna have a baby
Taking off in a Coupe de Ville, she's buckled up on navy
She don't care what her momma says, no, she's gonna have my baby
I'm taking all I have to take because taken's gonna shape me

People call us renegades 'cause we like living crazy
We like takin' on the town because peoples gettin' lazy

Always mad and usually drunk, but I love her like no other

I'm taking all I have to take because taken's gonna shape me

Strain living with a name
They get the best of me
But I'm no walker away
I don't complain
I got much to gain
So they keep testing me
And I keep feeding their face

But they could go
Off and hit the road
And what would I care
I like going nowhere
I got the reigns
And courage I was made of
And they've got fake love
So I know I must show

It's my show
I must go
I must show
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It's my role
It's my soul

Pearl, necklaces and girls
And all the pretty things
I ain't seeking to have
It's safe to say
If I don't get this out of me
I might quite easily
End up dead or just mad

Cross my t's
Try to dot my i's
But that's just blinding me
I ain't living that way
I roll my sleeves
And make a better man of me
Or I might easily
Just give up on this show

It's my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It's my role
It's my soul

I must show
It's my show
I must go
With my soul
Not my hand
Where I stand
It's my role
It's my soul

And my show
It's my show

It's raining on Old Yeller
And it's carving a path
So now we're on our way
It's taking us on journeys
Where we wipe away frowns
Amongst a crowded place

So why you never call me
No, you never seem to call me
Now that I'm okay
I'll beat you in the end
And everytime you turn around
Here will come the coming of age

Ooh, she's at my party
She's at my party
Ooh, she's at my party
She's at my party

My cocky look emerges
When you question my moves
'Cause you ain't got no taste
You're talking 'bout my baby
I could flip you upside down
And I could mop this place

Said, why you never saw me
No you never seen my calling
Right in front your face
I'll smoke you in the end
And don't you ever turn around
'Cause here's that coming of age

Ooh she's at my party
She's at my party
Ooh she's at my party
She's at my party

Ooh she's at my party
She's at my party
Ooh she's at my party

One for all, we'll be there
And when they fall to pieces
Lord, you know I'll be there laughing

I'd come a running

To be there
To be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there
I'm on call to be there

I wanna say here's to me gonna change the world
And I wanna play till they're kicking down the door
And I'll be alright as long as I ain't seen it all
And I'm holding tight to that night we had a ball
We had a ball

Here's to the kids out there smoking in the streets
They're way too young but I'm way too old to preach
And they know it all but they still ain't seen the truth
Just play my song and I'll show it all to you

Either way you caught me whilst a lying
You caught me whilst a lying
You caught me with my pants down

My papa's slave had to go and fight the war
He beat them all and then he took them all to court
My papa called and he said do you remember me?
Now he's working awful hard in his factory

Either way you caught me whilst a lying
You caught me whilst a lying
You caught me with my pants down

We ain't even been to the ocean
We've been running barefoot the stream
We've been running barefoot through the stream
We ain't even been to the ocean

Our time as we go
We know our times will change
I talk to Jesus
Jesus says I'm okay

Pushing and jumping
Jumping the mountain range
Burning up railroad
Railroad from hell to Maine

Why does she say she's on her own
I'll be pacing on the phone
Taking numbers, taken blame
Awful sick and tired of the game

She comes from nothing
Hoping for a trace of fame
She's got a birthmark
Birthmark the shape of Maine

Why does she say she's on her own
I'll be pacing on the phone
Taking numbers, taking names
Awful sick and tired of the game

And it's cold
And it's cold
And it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're nearing the bottom

Cold
And it's cold
And it's cold when you're near
Cold when you're nearing the bottom

Our time as we go
We know our times will change
I'll talk to Jesus
Jesus everyday

Our time as we go

I want in like a substitute
I've been working awful hard for you
But you don't say you just hold your breath
So I can't touch what I haven't yet

She's a cold one and it hurts me so
It's a dark path and a heck of a toll
And she could kill me just like she did before

We'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home

Pushing and a pulling weight
It's the hard part but the true love way
Girl you're wanted like a wanted man
With your smart mouth and your killer hand

We could both share all that I have made
For a young man, it's a heck of a wage
And I feel crazy when I see your face

'Cause we'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home

And we would laugh
Laugh till we cried
Making up songs
You're making me lie

And people say our babies are walking this town
And people say our babies are walking this town
And people say our babies they're just wandering around
And people say our babies they're walking

We'd be so free
Happy alone
Sharing a smile
So far from home

And we would laugh
Laugh till we cried
Making up songs
You're making me lie
Happy alone

What I've got
Well she wants
A hurt nose
A tight knot

I got
One mile to go
On down the road
On down the road

What she got
Hell, I want
And she knows
What I'm not

And I've got one
Mile to go
On down the road
On down the road

And she sang,
"Wooh, wooh
"Wooh, wooh
"Wooh, wooh
"Wooh"

What she's got
Hell, I want
And she knows
When I'm not

And I've got one
Mile to go
On down the road
On down the road

And she sang,
"Wooh, wooh
"Wooh, wooh
"Wooh, wooh
"Wooh"

"Wooh, wooh
"Wooh, wooh
"Wooh, wooh
"Wooh"

Hot men don't take no nonsense
he stood, too ready to fight
he got a black buckle
I remember the fire in his eyes

You with your switchblade posse
I'll get my guns from the side (south)
we'll take to the yard like a cock fight
4 kicks, who's struttin now?

(whats this bit folks? something about a razor)
but there ain't shit else to do
she's a lovin on the boy from the city
I'll be lovin him under my shoe..

Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Conversation, Mississippi related
He's searching for the softball diamond

Prancin' like a bad ass who never seen a church house
Another jolly face in the choir

He's reaching and a kissin' her mouth
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes

Screamin' at the cousin that never gets no lovin'
The hairy monkeys covered tonight
Falling over tables, a black eye with no way home
And pouting underneath the street lights

He's reaching and a kissin' her mouth
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes

And no one seems to like it out loud
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes

Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes
Oh, he's such a sucker from her head to her toes

I'll be the one to show you the way
You'll be the one to always complain
Three in the morning come-a bang bang bang
All out of fags and I just can't wait
Cancel the thing that I said I'd do
I don't feel comfortable talkin' to you
'Less you got the zipper fixed on my shoe
Then I'll be in the lobby drinking for two

Eighteen
Balding
Star
Golden
Falling
Hard*

Look at the shakies
What's with the blush?
Fresh off the plane in my fuzzy rush
Everyone's gathered to idolize me
I hate the way you talk your Japanese scream
It's been too long since I left the shed
You kick the bucket and I'll swing my legs
Always remember the pact that we made
Too young to die but old isn't great

Eighteen
Balding
Star
Golden
Falling
Hard*

I'm-a gonna show the way
I'm-a gonna show the way
I'm-a gonna show the way

Eighteen

Toss me a breath when you hold me down
Hot like a razor on my face
Something's growing that don't help me now
Paging the doctor, just in case

Low and behold things are killing me
Silly expectation of a dream
Girls are gonna love the way I toss my hair
Boys are gonna hate the way I seem

Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old blues

Peach Christmas lights spitting German ling
Feels like a fast or homeless sleep
At least there's a record that I love to play
Dreaming about a place I'll never see

Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old blues

Betty, Betty, Annie is a praying
Baby, with a man like a lung
Smell her crying fighting back a fever
Mad as hell give up

Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old
Day old, day old, day old blues

Toss me a breath when you hold me down
