I need a friend
03:31
|
|||
I need a friend who’s got nothing but triggers
I need a friend with a taste for tears
I need a friend who can call his mother (once in a while)
I need a friend with something to fear
I need a friend to invite me to parties
I need a friend who’d rather coke than beer
I need a friend to start a new religion
I need a friend who can last the year
I need a friend with a boat collection
I need a friend who gets serious
I need a friend who can afford to stare straight at the sun
I need a friend with experience
I need a friend with a lot of money
I need a friend who likes to play the field
I need a friend with a scary husband
I need a friend who keeps their big mouth sealed
I need a friend who can take me bowling
I need a friend who wears 6 inch heels
I need a friend to get me out of the house here (once in awhile)
I need a friend who’s got nothing to steal
I need a friend to ask a lot of questions
I need a friend with an axe to grind
I need a friend with a wife and children
I need a friend that’s so hard to find

You're Beautiful
03:32

You’re beautiful
And built to win
Your glossy hair
and flawless skin
You’re beautiful
Won’t take it back
No bleeding gums
No yellow plaque
You’re beautiful
At any price
No worms or fleas
No ticks or lice
You’re beautiful
So much to please
Your muscle tone
No skin disease
Please stand by me
Take my money
Arch back slightly
And give me a smile
There are many words
To express the things you are
You surpass the competition
Let’s get you in my car

I’m the best
In this world
At telling no one
I’m the best
You don’t know what you know about me
All hail my kingdom
Get your hand off my shadow
I’m the best
You could get
Without notice
Work on spec
I’m the best
ain’t nothin’ gonna change me
Don’t hate on my freedom
No more plans for my Sunday
No one needs to spit on my weekend no
When this world falls
Cry me a river
There’s no one left who can hold your hand or guide you through
I’ll watch the world crawl
And cry me a river
And I’ll laugh and I’ll laugh and I’ll laugh
Until they know it’s true
Maybe the world turns
Maybe the world burn
Maybe you’ll all learn to deal with the facts That I’m telling you
It’s all just one small thing
And it’s just one bad choice
And it’s all just a matter of time til party goes babybabybaby come on
I’m the best
Just keep saying
I’m the best
Maybe it’s true
I’m the best
I don’t hear what they say about me
All hail my wisdom
Some fuck took my post down
Oh I’m so right baby
Don’t even need to win
When you’re so right baby
Everything’s a sin
Oh I’m so right baby
Don’t even need to say
Oh I’m so right baby
Don’t even need to pay

So long ago it all worked out for you
When the war was a stone in your hand
Line em’ up in the darkness don’t wait around for me
Set em’ up boys then knock em’ down for me
Don’t be afraid of the darkness don’t wait around for me
Set em’ up boys then knock em’ down for me
It’s my only it’s my own

Cinder and Bone
04:19

I got my realness on
I took a ride took a ride took a ride to where my heart has gone
Where my sweet love flickers in the dust in her uniform
I turned the camera on
Speak aloud speak aloud speak aloud til the words have flown
You make a loud noise screamin’ at the world until your voice is blown
Even if you standing in the middle of the woods when you’re all alone
Ooooo you make alive again
Ooooo I’m somehow alive again
Even if the air turns to cinder and bone
You’re my place in the world that will always be home
And you’re all and you’re all my home
And you’re all and you’re all my home
How the years go by
Like a bird like a bird like a bird falling from the sky
We can dance we can dance we can dance until we don’t know why
Maybe you don’t mind
How a stupid man screaming at the world can waste all your time
You can take a walk take a walk take a walk if you’re so inclined
I wouldn’t blame you if you didn’t turn around or you change your mind
Oooo but you turn around again
Ooooo and I’m somehow alive again
Even if the sun turns to ashes and stone
You’re my place in the world will always be home
And you’re all and you’re all my home
And you’re all and you’re all my home

Only in this town
They get passed around
It’s a lovely day
But I can’t eat anything
Everybody says
I need another round
It was a lovely day
But now I'm sore above my waist

Stand on the edge
Don’t you sway either way
It’s a long long long way down
Just stay on the phone
Glad we caught you at home
Don’t you dare take your hand from your mouth
Grab those coins in yer fist
Write your name on the list
Don’t you try to resist there’s no doubt
We will find you anywhere
If there’s sunlight in your hair
Then the eyes in the sky have you down
I’m so glad we’ve agreed
The only way you can succeed
Is when your hand is in hand that holds you down
And love will conquer all
Find your hole in the wall
There’s no way we’ll ever fall from the edge
And all is love

A Healthy Man

A#_____F
Tell me why
Edim___________F
You let me stick around
Bm_________C______________G
Wasting in disgrace ‘til I’m underground
Someday I
will try to get the nerve
To be some kind of man that you deserve
But Late at night
I’m up to see sun
Tryin to keep the fire ablaze til the smoke is gone
C#_______________________G
Ya can’t take your hand off the wheel
C#__________________G
I Won’t reneged on the deal
And when I stare
At the vacant cold abyss
I need a second hand to pull me away from this
Someday I
Will find myself alone
Watching everything neglected boil in acetone
Do I need to pull you by the arm
Can’t keep your own self out of harm
A#_____________________Dm
Stuff all that bullshit in your grave
________________C#____________________D
She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man
Don't trust a word out of your brain
She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man
50 grams of protein everyday
She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man
Turn off the phone don’t be a slave
She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man
Read a fucking book you fucking pleb
She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man
Take your fucking pills every fucking day
She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man
She needs a healthy man She needs a healthy man
