[Chorus]
As you step out into the city
No one to find you recognize
As your black heels kick out the beat
Of my heart in perfect time
Singing la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Look at you saving my life
Singing la-la-la-la la-la-la-la
Tonight, you're saving my life, yeah
[Verse 1]
Uh, fire you got faith, a lot of nicotine
I’m gonna burn so I better tell you everything
The competition, the superstition
Nevermind ‘cause you’re never gonna get this
[?] that’s how you like it
[?]
[?]
With a shotgun on my back
At least I’m ready for another attack
[Chorus]
The Lord of lies
The morning star
Your aggravations laid
Opposing sides
Your choices are
The negative one and I
The negative one and I
[Verse 2]
[?] and wail with the enemies
I never follow but I never make apologies
Your divisions, are gonna get ya
Because your [?] go
[?] cynical [?] and let it go
You’re getting ready ‘cause the first move is critical
[?] somebody's listening
Until we learn from our lies we can never die
[Chorus]
[Refrain]
I hope you live
To see the day
When the world comes up in flames
And as you die
You see my face
You're the only one to blame
(Fuck)
[Bridge]
Vibrations, the nation
The quotients, they all will fall
The system, symbolic
Addition, systemic
Egregious, are bleak
With these legions (the [?])
Succumb to the selfish creation
You failure
[Verse 3]
Know I got ability, divisibility
I point a finger but it’s always looking back at me
The centerpiece pulling on the mechanism
Unearthing [?] of the cataclysm
When the innocent begin to circumvent
The color fades, but the [?] is vibrant
What you want with me, doesn’t matter now
Turn away the [?] now
[Chorus] + [Refrain] + [Chorus]
[Outro]
The negative one
The negative one
The negative one
The negative one and I
The negative one and I
The negative one and I
And I
[Verse 1]
So, I got edges that scratch
And sometimes I don't got a filter
But I'm so tired of eatin' all of my misspoken words
[Pre-Chorus 1]
I know my disposition gets confusing
My disproportionate reactions fuse with my eager state
That’s why you want to come out and play with me (yeah)
(Why, why, why)
[Chorus]
Stooped down and out you got me beggin’ for thread
To sew this hole up that you ripped in my head
Stupidly you think you had it under control
Strapped down to something that you don't understand
Don't know what you were getting yourself into
You should have known, secretly I’m think you knew
[Verse 2]
I got some dirt on my shoes
My words can come out as a pistol
And I'm no good at aiming, but I can aim it at you
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I know my actions, they may get confusing
But my unstableness is my solution, to even space
That’s why you want to come out and play with me (yeah)
[Chorus]
[Bridge] x4
Hold it out, (woah-oah) try to hide it out
But my tracks are better
There's a rhythm in rush these days
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean
Sometimes there's things a man cannot know
Gears won't turn and the leaves won't grow
There's no place to run and no gasoline
Engine won't turn
And the train won't leave
I will stay with you tonight
Hold you close 'til the morning light
In the morning watch a new day rise
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
Well the way I feel is the way I write
It isn't like the thoughts of the man who lies
There is a truth and it's on our side
Dawn is coming
Open your eyes
Look into the sun as the new days rise
And I will wait for you tonight
You're here forever and you're by my side
I've been waiting all my life
To feel your heart as it's keeping time
We'll do whatever just to stay alive
Look into the sun as the new days rise
There's a rhythm in rush these days
Where the lights don't move and the colors don't fade
Leaves you empty with nothing but dreams
In a world gone shallow
In a world gone lean
[IntrAnnotateo]
I'll tell you something, 1968 was just another year, the fields needed tilling and there wasn't enough rain. But it was the first year Rosie started bringing my lunch out to the field every day
[Verse 1]
You get your hands in it
Plant your roots in it
Dusty head light, dance with your boots in it (dirt)
You write her name on it
Spin your tires on it
Build your corn field, whiskey, bonfires on it (dirt)
You bet your life on it, yeah
It's that...
[Chorus]
Elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground, that your dad damned his luck on
That post game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
And mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a 10 percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
[Verse 2]
You've mixed some sweat with it
Taking a shovel to it
You've stuck some crosses and some painted
Goal posts through it (dirt)
You know you came from it (dirt)
And some day you'll return to
Elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground, that your dad damned his luck on
That post game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
And mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a 10 percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
Elm shade, red rust clay you grew up on
That plowed up ground, that your dad damned his luck on
That post game party field you circle up on
And when it rains you get stuck on
Drift a cloud back behind county roads that you run up
And mud on her jeans that she peeled off and hung up
Her blue-eyed summertime smile looks so good that it hurts
Makes you wanna build a 10 percent down white picket fence house on this dirt
