🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

But there's always a part of me that's freakin' out
All of my anxieties are freakin' out
Wish I was less uptight and a little more like whatever
Whatever

Trippin' over all of my apologies
Wish I was less uptight and a little more like whatever
Whatever
 
And then she whispered, "How can you do this to me?"

Hate me today
Hate me tomorrow
Hate me for all the things I didn't do for you

Hate me in ways
Yeah, ways hard to swallow
Hate me so you can finally see what's good for you
 
So I lay me down to lie and with the rain my lullaby I drift away to dreamless sleep
Leave behind a life that died, a victim of a plague of ghosts
I was wrapped up in my guilt buried deep within my memories, a shelter of self-pity
That I know the rain will wash away, I sense the storm arriving
 
Tonight I'm on the street with no money in my coat
And I'm blamin' everybody for this ticket I got wrote
And I'll walk along the end
‘Till I wander home again
Out beneath the rumble
I go stumblin' down the Northside wind
 
Breathed the air before, heard the thunder roar
Never knew it was for me
Always looking down, lost but never found
Eyes that looked but not to see

All my life it seems just a crazy dream
Reaching for somebody's star
Like an open door that you've passed before
But you never had the key
 
See I don't give a fuck about things like who's the best or the worst on Twitter
And the other social media, money-making scheme turning you into a zombie
Jerking you off, masturbator, procrastinator
While the kids in Silicon Valley take your money and say, "Can we get the check, waiter?"
While they bulldoze your favorite building in town and turn it into a fucking fruit shake maker
You got the brains to be the next Norman Mailer
You got the longevity to be the next Elizabeth Taylor
You got the class to be the next James fucking Spader
You got the swagger to be the next Stiv fucking Bator
But are you sitting on the toilet staring at your phone like a perfectly tailored, made-to-order puppet

I ain't no one's puppet, I ain't no one's puppet, I ain't no one's puppet, I ain't no one's puppet
I ain't no one's fucking puppet, I ain't no one's fucking puppet, I ain't no one's fucking puppet, I ain't no one's fucking puppet
 
I feel it crawling on my shoulders
I hear it scratching at the walls
In a fall from all the benzos
And all the use of alcohol
 
Drinking sparkling wine and cheap perfume,
I've been lookin' for some soft abuse.
Baby your new boy, he don't see it that way.
But tonight, I swear, I'm gonna set that pussy bastard straight.
So you can I can leave now while your other love's away.
I know you could never cheat now with anyone but me.
Its easy now for you, 'cause you don't have to choose,
And there ain't no way that you can touch him now.
 
The dead know what they're doing when they leave this world behind
When the here and the hereafter momentarily align
See the need to speed into the lead suddenly decline
The dead know what they’re doing when they leave this world behind
 
It's something that I hate
How evеryone's disposable
Every timе I date somebody new
I feel vulnerable (vulnerable)
That it'll never change
And it will just stay like this
Never endin' date and breakin' up
And it goes like this
We'll get in your car and you'll lean to kiss me
We'll talk for hours and lie on the backseat
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
And then one random night when everything changes
You won't reply and we'll go back to strangers
Uh-huh, uh-huh, uh
Uh-huh, uh-huh
Always ends the same
When it was me and you
But every time I meet somebody new
It's like déjà vu (it's like déjà vu)
And when we spoke for months
Well, did you ever mean it? (Did you ever mean it?)
How can we say that this is love
When it goes like this?
 
So please keep the light on and open up some wine
I got postcards of the places I have seen
And rest your weary eyes 'til that dog begins to bark
Then roll over and slip in to your jeans
I'll be home when them songbirds sing again
I'll be home when them songbirds sing again
 
Ever since Mom walked out
Sis and I can't get no sleep
Since then Dad's brought home 13 redheads, a blond, a brunette, and a sheep
I pray to God oh can you help us,
Save us from this reverie
Shotgun westward I blew away Alice,
Buried her in the deep
 
Ever since Mom walked out
Sis and I can't get no sleep
Since then Dad's brought home 13 redheads, a blond, a brunette, and a sheep
I pray to God oh can you help us,
Save us from this reverie
Shotgun westward I blew away Alice,
Buried her in the deep
That sure seems like a misuse of the word 'reverie'.
 
So there’s problems in your life
That’s fucked up
I’m not blind
I’m just super jaded
See through faded
Out of my mind
 
I wanna take you in the kitchen
Lift up your wedding dress, someone was probably murdered in
 
Some rich men came and raped the land
Nobody caught 'em
Put up a bunch of ugly boxes
And Jesus people bought 'em
 
Never could
Be still for long
And I could never hold a job
Coupled with
A weakness for cocaine and liquor
Not much you can do for love
 
I wanna start this out and say
I gotta get it off my chest
Got no anger, got no malice
Just a little bit of regret
Know nobody else will tell you
So there's some things I gotta say
Gonna jot it down and then get it out
And then I'll be on my way
No, you're not half the man you think that you are
 
I was breaking in a case of suds
At the brass rail, a fall-down drunk
With his tongue torn out
And his balls removed
And I knew that my last lines were gone
While stupidly I lingered on
Other wise men know
When it's time to go and so I should too
And so I fly into the brightest winter sun
Of this frozen town
I'm stripped down to move on
My friends, I'm gone
 
He didn't really care
Nothing much got in his hair
And the beauty of it was
That he was right
He was big as a truck
And fast as a door
(What's that?)
He was always right
The banjo player took a hike
What's that song
I used to like
 
Back
