🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

You paint me as your great escape
But I was drowning while you walked away
I wore your chaos like a crown
But every word just tore me down
You loved the chase not who I am
You loved control not holding hands
 
... Gonna use my arms
Gonna use my legs
Gonna use my style
Gonna use my side step
Gonna use my fingers
Gonna use my, my, my imagination

'Cause I gonna make you see
There's nobody else here
No one like me
I'm special so special
I gotta have some of your attention give it to me....
 
.... Oh it makes me wonder
What's going on inside my head
Well could it be the pressure that I'm under
Makes me forget the things I never said.....
 
I've got a bike, you can ride it if you like
It's got a basket, a bell that rings
And things to make it look good
I'd give it to you if I could, but I borrowed it

You're the kind of girl that fits in with my world
I'll give you anything, everything if you want things
 
Coffee clothing pasted on
Clean my gravestone when I'm gone
And you better not let my good gal catch you here
She got a whole pile of things you don't wanna hear
 
I've been searchin', wonderin', thinkin'
Lost and lookin' all my life
I've been wounded, jaded, loved and hated
I've wrestled wrong and right
 
When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love

When the evening shadows and the stars appear
And there is no one there to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love

I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I will never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
 
First you learn the native customs,
Soon a word of Spanish or two
You know that you cannot trust them
'Cause they know they can't trust you

Expatriated Americans feelin' so all alone
Telling themselves the same lies
That they told themselves back home

Down to the banana republics,
Things aren't as warm as they seem
None of the natives are buying
Any second-hand American dreams
 
Feeling pressure on every side
Everyone wondering if I'm doing alright
I never asked that same question
Yes, this is a confession
Tired of waiting to be explained
Weakest link in the daisy chain
This is just a powerless pain
And I'm bursting out of my veins

Tip the fifth back high
And I look through the glasses of time
Oh no, don't you worry babe
Bobbing in a dead sea of blank eyes
No invention of my own
Hanging in a cloud of careless sighs
We don't care where to go
But at least we're not alone
 
And I'd sing a song that'd be just ours
But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna learn to love
But all my tears have been used up
 
They called in the mornin'
Said you were found outside
And put the phone down
Your cat jumped on my lap
And I laid down and I took a nap
Feelin' bad and full of shame
That I somehow contributed to your pain
I wish I could help you with your problems
But babe, I got enough of my own
 
If I listened long enough to you
I'd find a way to believe that it's all true
Knowing that you lied
Straight-faced while I cried
Still I look to find a reason to believe
 
Burdened by those wet dreams
Of people having fun
'Cause I know goin on vacation brings the worst
Out of everyone
And everyday is a miracle
Not to mention a threat
Of bees nests nestled in a hole in the yard
Of Travolta's bald head
 
Wind on my face, sound in my ears
Water from my eyes, and you on my mind
As I sink, divin' down deep
Deeper into your soul
 
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
Je ne sais pas what to do
You know you've completely
Stolen my heart

Morning, noon and night time too
Toujours, wondering what to do
That's the way I've felt
Right from the start

Ah, Cheri
My love for you is très, très fort
Wish my French were good enough
I'd tell you so much more

But I hope that you compris
All the things you mean to me
Darling, je vous aime beaucoup
I love you, yes, I do
 
I'd still take your Amazing Grace
I'd give all my money
And I'd still take your pretty face
I've got a houseboat docked at the
Himbo Dome
And a wristwatch that's a
Pocket knife and a megaphone
And a wristwatch that tells me
I'm on my own
And a wristwatch that tells me
I'm on my own
 
Need to get back on the wagon
Before I end up back on the train
Need to stop doing dark shit in dark rooms
Just to drown out the pain
Don't know why everybody's afraid of me
I'm a sensitive boy when push comes to shove
I got that Hunter Biden energy
I’ll make a hooker fuk around and fall in love
 
.... And we're so abused (Can't happen)
And we're so confused (Can't happen)
It's easy to believe that someone's gonna light the fuse

Can't happen here
Can't happen here
All that you fear, they're telling you
Can't happen here.....
 
From where I stand
I see a blind man on a hill
From where I stand
I see the teacher in the valley
From where I stand
I see the blind man on a hill
And he is standing very still

The way it's planned
They'll only let the fools survive
The way it's planned
You would not want to stay alive
Just one big bang
It's all they're leaving you to think about

From where I stand
I know just what they're planning
I know they're planning one big bang
And they call it Mutually Assured Destruction

From where I stand
I can see the mushrooms in the sky
From where I stand
I can watch the bleeding children cry
And they will die
And you have no wings will fly

From where I stand
I see the man on the hill
And he is standing very still
 
Over the years I've seen them turn from brown to green
Everything in-between
Watched you grow from a princess to a queen
I wanna drown in your brown velvet dopamine
