🎹 Lyrics That Hit The Spot

I lick my brain in silence
Rather squeeze my head instead
Midget man provoking violence
Listen not to what I said

I said, please calm it down
Everything is turning brown
 
The kids screaming, phone ringing
Dog barking at the mailman
Bringing that stack of bills, overdue
Good morning, baby, how are you?
Got a half hour, a quick shower
Take a drink of milk but the milk's gone sour
My funny face makes you laugh
Twist the top on and I put it back

There goes the washing machine
Baby, don't kick it
Promise I'll fix it
Long about a million other things

Well, it's ok, it's so nice
It's just another day in paradise
Well, there's no place that I'd rather be
Well, it's two hearts and one dream
I wouldn't trade it for anything
And I ask the Lord every night, ooh
For just another day in paradise
 
So, please don't say I'm too much
That I'm over the top, you don't understand me
We're so different at heart
You're on Earth, I'm on Mars, oh

All I ever wanted was your love, I toned myself down for you
Volume one, almost mute, I'll never ignite
You always found a way to bring me down, you trivialised everything
From my tears to my grins
 
There's a girl named Martha
Who meets me here on Saturday nights
She never says too much
She just sits down beside me and puts her hand in mine
She's got a gentle way
That keeps me from feeling so alone
She always shows up late
And leaves before the credits roll
And I never watch her leave
I just close my eyes and pretend I'm asleep until the second feature begins
Midnight at the movies again
 
She comes to me in the night when loneliness
Is too much to bear and she holds me close
And she helps me forget
You go steppin' out as she comes steppin' in
Someday I'll be forgiven for this
 
I love him
But when the night is over
He is gone
The river's just a river
Without him
The world around me changes
The trees are bare and everywhere
The streets are full of strangers
 
Well I've gone and lost my faith in photographs
Cursed those martyrs that mark my past
And I long for a day when we'll look back and laugh about all this
But good luck finding your peace of mind
Being born into these brutal times
And these days I don't pray when I close my eyes
I just bite my tongue a bit harder
 
Let's float these gutters up past heaven's gate
Get me out of these damn desert states
Did you hear the one about the hand of fate?
Oh man it’ll make your heart stop
Do you ever wish you could just back out?
Take your nickels and go cash out
Forget the faces you've been crying about
And see where forgiveness takes you
 
Sweet surrender like the break of dawn
With the map laid out and the arrows drawn
But I think too much and wait too long
And I never tell but you know how to lift me when I sink too low
 
Now I've found me a reason to be a man
Out on the shoulder with an outstretched hand
Just a little solid ground to stand
Is all I ever needed
So I'll shout it out from the heavens above
Hell ain't nothin' but the devil's drug
And love ain't a sickness, though I once thought it was
When I was too surrounded to see
 
Sometimes an angel falls too hard
Loses more than just a piece of her heart
And she needs a place to go and make a brand-new start
 
Heaven sent, the promised land,
looks alright from where I stand.

'Cause I'm the Man on the outside,
looking in.
 
Well she's got some walls that are more like a maze
And I don't really think I blame her
She's known a couple guys who've done a couple things
That you can only hope they're ashamed of
So she's a lioness on her back paws
She'll do anything to defend her heart
And she don't really like to sleep in one place for long
(Sleep in one place for long)
So if her walls fall down and she lets you in
You better watch your mouth and thicken your skin
All she's ever known from loves a lie
So one wrong move, she'll eat you alive
And if she even thinks that you play games
She'll cut that string and throw you away
She don't got one tear left to cry
So boy, you better take a word from the wise
When it comes to lovin' her
Only the strong survive
And she's got a smile that'll hide til she's ready
Even better than the one she wears to make you feel you're safe
She's more comfortable bein' alone than when it gets heavy, now
And she won't run the risk of you runnin' away
Mmm
So if her walls fall down and she lets you in
You better watch your mouth and thicken your skin
All she's ever known from loves a lie
So one wrong move, she'll eat you alive
And if she even thinks that you play games
She'll cut that string and throw you away
'Cause she's seen the pain of a longer life
So boy, you better take a word from the wise
When it comes to lovin' her
Only the strong survive
Oh, you'll be tested, you'll be tried
'Cause love is such a master of disguise
But it'll be worth it when she's lyin' there
In your arms
And her walls fall down
And her walls fall down
So if her walls fall down and she lets you in
And you watch your mouth and thicken your skin
Maybe you can do this better than I did
But boy, you better take a word from the wise
When it comes to lovin' her
Only the strong survive
 
Tell me you love me and don't let me cry
Say anything but don't say goodbye

I didn't mean to treat you bad
Didn't know just what I had
But honey now I do
And don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes
Don't it make my brown eyes blue
 
You're like sleep, take what I can get
But I've gotta make some sense of this, so here the fuck I sit
At 3 a.m., trying way too hard
To find the words to slow my sweet, addicted heart

You're like sleep, I can't get near enough
And I pretend that I don't need you when I'm out doing stuff
Went so deep, a lucky young man's dream
And last time I tried this sober, I was seventeen
 
I wish that I could be angry, punch a hole in the wall
Drink a fifth of cheap whiskey and call and call and call
But that ain't me anymore, baby, never was, to tell the truth
I just saw it in a movie and thought that's what I was supposed to do
 
Somebody broke my heart once
And I was useless for a week
I didn't leave my apartment
I didn't eat, I didn't speak
But then I found the letter she wrote
Against the wall behind the bed
It said, "Forever is a dead man's joke"
And that's the only thing it said
 
When it's good, then it's good
It's all good till it goes bad
Till you try to find the you that you once had
I have heard myself cry, never again!
Broken down in agony
Just tryin' to find a friend
 
Yeah, I know your trust has been broken
And you're scared to leave yourself open
And those walls are high that you built
And them cracks, they were all man made
And you were tryin' to fix it with a band-aid
And tell yourself it'll help, but it never will
 
I've no more fucks to give
My fucks have runeth dry
I've tried to go fuck shopping
but there's no fucks left to buy!
I've no more fucks to give
Though more fucks i've tried to get
I'm over my fuck budget, and
i'm now in fucking debt!
 
No way you'll see me crawl
Like a shark I'll be ripping you apart, and celebrate
With lots of champagne, you caught me on the wrong day
Now you know come what may, I won't give away

My love, see me dancing in the rain
My love, no more whiskey and cocaine
My love, ending all forbidden fruit my love, love, love

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust no you can't amuse me, so leave you must
Ashes to ashes, dust to dust if the spell won't kill you, your ego does...
 
You love me, you hate me, you kiss me, you break me
You lifted me up, just to watch as you broke me
You promised me, looked me straight in the eyes
No matter what you say, I don't know truth from the lies
I held you up, like I always do
I forgave you for your sins and I carried you through them
No matter how hard we fought, we always knew
You will bleed for me and I will bleed for you
 
Started with a bottle of brandy
And a girl named candy
Ended with her staring at me lying face down
