Traces Of Blood

i saw traces of blood on my tooth brush
and i thought of the worst things to happen to me
i thought the love we shared in once
was stronger than i found it to be
i found you in the dragon room
full of dusty old records and arm wrestling
you gave me proof
you pulled out your tooth
and it gave me a reason to sing
i got a car full of weapons and the best of the cure
i don't know who i am anymore
i saw traces of blood on my tooth brush
and i thought of the worst things to happen to me
i thought the love we shared in once
was stronger than i found it to be

lately i been in some trouble
killin time down in the dungeon
loving you is never hard to do loving me makes it hard to breathe
grab a glass let's drown our sorrow
i believe in no tomorrow
loving you was never hard to do loving me it makes it hard to breathe
i couldn't show you where i live
i thought you'd be ashamed of it
and it's a long walk home and you're not staying
i don't blame ya
the night i gave into the demons
was the night they stole you back from jesus
loving you was never hard to do loving me makes it hard to breathe
i wasn't going very fast
thought of you and slammed the gas
and i left you behind in all the wreckage
i don't regret it
lately i been in some trouble
killing time down in the dungeon
when you make a deal with the devil he won't let you walk away

All Wires

i want your golden years
and i want your heart right here
and i wanted to disappear before you came
i didn't mean to make you cry
that's just the way that i say goodbye
your kingdom awaits you
you don't have to stay here tonight
if you go
i'll be sad i won't let you know
i don't mind inside i'm all wires
i had a dream we talked
that's how i knew that it was a dream
how we spoke of our love and how nothing would stand in between
now i'm in a haunted mansion
nothing but time on my hands
i stayed up all night
just to write out my list of demands
if you go
i'll be sad i won't let it show
but i don't mind inside i'm all wires
your hearts an armored car
and i haven't had
any patience lately
to break in baby
i don't mind inside i'm wires

Past Me

i married an actress when i was young
her parents knew just who i was
they hated me
i forgot where i came from
disowned the place that molded me
i got two sets of keys made
one of them's yours
cannot guarantee they'll open doors
i'll be outside waiting for your car to pull up
and every time i pay you say it's never enough
i'll be talkin shit as soon as you leave cause
im hopin that you'll drive right PAST ME
ain't goin to funerals no more
i'm going where i've never been before
maybe brazil maybe L.A.
i've forgotten yesterday
stay close to me babe we'll be fine
if you got the money i've got the time
i'll be outside waiting for your car to pull up
and every time i pay you say it's never enough
i'll be talkin shit as soon as you leave cause
im hopin that you'll drive right PAST ME

stick to readin poems baby
please don't write them down
i'd hate to see you disappointed
if it don't work out
i hear you're livin with some woman
somewhere uptown
and i'm not speaking out of line am i?
i have my doubts about you now
you had stars in your eyes
i had spots in my glasses
and you sewed all the patches
onto my denim jacket
wrote you letters in class
four weeks you were absent
then you came back
like nothing had happened
stick to being no one baby
don't be proud
work real hard and save some money
get outta town
cause i hear how you're livin lately
it brings me down
i'm not speakin outta line am i?
i have my doubts about you now
you had stars in your eyes
i had spots in my glasses
and you sewed all the patches
onto my denim jacket
wrote you letters in class
four weeks you were absent
then you came back
like nothing had happened

Far Away Day
03:47
|

i just moved
from a box into a bag
baby this whole day has been a drag
i guess you gotta go
i can't come i know
i will polish
your trophies when you're gone
i cannot promise to keep my wedding ring on
we went about it wrong
i'll be up at dawn
i'm not gonna waste your time and tell you the truth
on that far away day
when i get over you
i ain't gonna make it to the station tonight
take from this what you wish
consider it goodbye....
i burned my hair
i lit a cigarette on the stove
you know i tried to let everything go
but i couldn't let it go....
it was dumb i know
i will polish
your trophies when you're gone
i cannot promise to keep my wedding ring on
we went about it wrong
i'll be up at dawn
i'm not gonna waste your time and tell you the truth
on that far away day
when i get over you
i ain't gonna make it to the station tonight
take from this what you wish
consider it goodbye....
