Never look her in the eyes
never tell the truth
if she knows your paper
you know she'll have to burn you
never tell the one you want that you do
save it for the deathbed
when you know you kept her wanting you
and do everything she'd never do
fall asleep with stranger's wives
the wild wives of unknown men
good for you, you've just become
just another one of them
never say you miss her
never say a word
and do everything she'd never do
Lyricsdon't let her see your cardinal eyes
don't let her see your cardinal eyes
let her treat you like a criminal
so you can treat her like a priest
girls forgive my human mind
girls forgive me one more time
never tell the one you love that you do
save it for the deathbed
and do everything she'd never do
don't let her see your cardinal eyes
don't let her see your cardinal eyes
jesus christ you have confused me
cornered, wasted, blessed and used me
forgive me girls i am confused
stiff and pissed and lost and loose
jesus christ you have confused me
cornered, wasted, blessed and used me
forgive me girls i am confused
stiff and pissed and lost and loose

Sit down dear we gotta talk
your acting like a kid
we don't wanna hear about
the things you never did
you coulda been a legend
but you became a father
that's what you are today
that's what you are today
spending all your time
somewhere inside your head
haunted by the important
life you coulda lead
but your kisses aren't enough
to keep your kids in line
so you better straighten out yourself
and give your baby time
cause if you don't give her what she needs
she'll get it where she can
Lyricsshe's lonely man
Don't leave yourself alone for too many days
Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping
you'll end up talking to the ghost
of your wife as if you knew her
your eyes will put her everywhere
and spending all your time
somewhere inside your head
haunted by the important
life you coulda lead
you'll fuck yourself to clear your head
you'll close your door and go to bed
you'll try to sleep without a dream
that's where she finds you
that's where she finds you
Don't leave yourself alone for too many days
Sooner than you know your gonna start slipping
Dear we better get a drink in you
before you start to bore us
Dear we better get a drink in you
before you start to bore us
Dear we better get a drink in you
before you start to bore us
"Don't forget the alcohol oooh baby oooh baby ..."

Well I know that you know
that you've become the target of this hand
with never even asking
Well I know that you know
that you're the only thing that I can stand
so how could your hair
have the nerve to dance around like that, blowing
and how could the air
have the nerve to blow your hair around like that
I'm waiting for a 90-mile water wall
to take me out of your view
I'm looking for a trap door trigger
to drop me out of your view
Yes I'm listening I'm listening
I can tell that you are serious
Your looking for that hurt look around my mouth
the look of a steep fall
yeah that's how Hersey put it
Lyrics
so you can make another claim
well go ahead and make it
so you can make another claim
well go ahead and make it
I'm just waiting for a 90-mile water wall
to take me out of your view
I'm praying for a trap door trigger
I'm just waiting for a 90-mile water wall
to take me out of your view
I'm praying for a trap door trigger
Yes I'm listening
I can tell you're serious

We look younger than we feel
and older than we are
now nobody's funny
no god, they took our fashion week
that's a real bad thing
cause we have scars to cover
now I forget how to think
so crack my skull
rearrange me
lover put me in your beautiful bed
and cover me
lover put me in your beautiful bed
Nothing made a sound in Williamstown that night
and all the air was empty
then what to my wondering eyes should appear
nothing, cause nothing ever happens here
now I forget how to think
Lyricsso crack my skull
rearrange me
lover put me in your beautiful bed
and cover me
lover put me in your beautiful bed
nothing ever happened here
nothing ever happened here
bad things never happen to the beautiful
. . .

I saw my love with pretty boy
I saw my love with pretty boy
murder me Rachael I made a mistake
I loved her to ribbons
loved her to ribbons
murder me Rachael I made a mistake
murder me Rachael

I saw my love with pretty boy
I saw my love with pretty boy
so say goodbye to pretty boy
just say goodbye to pretty boy
her pretty little ribbons
her pretty little name
sew it in my skin
never go away
her pretty little ribbons
her pretty little name
Lyricssew it in my skin
never go away
I saw my love with pretty boy
I saw my love with pretty boy
so say goodbye to pretty boy
just say goodbye to pretty boy
tomorrow won't be pretty
tomorrow won't be pretty
love her to ribbons
love her to ribbons
love her to ribbons
love her to ribbons
love her to ribbons

As far as I can tell
I'm nothing like a princess
but today I find myself
curling up behind the house
There's nothing in the air today
now I know I'm not so important
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
I don't have a hawk in my heart
no dumbass dove in my brain
I don't have a hawk in my heart
no dumbass dove in my dumbass brain
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
Take these girly arms
and ever keep me
I don't have a hawk in my heart
no I don't have a hawk in my heart
no I don't have a hawk in...

Did you clean yourself
for me last night
put the water out and donned a marigold
in your hair to bring me here
and tie one on you
did you dress me down and liquor me up
to make me last for the minute
when the red comes over you
like it does when you're filled with love
or whatever you call it
do you feel alone when I'm in my head
while you wait for me
to take my breath
do you still feel clean
when the only dirt is the dirt I left
how can you blame yourself
when I did everything I wanted to
you just made yourself available
you just made yourself available
why did you dress me down (repeat)
and liquor me up (repeat)

can you make me a man
can you make me a dad
can you make me a man
can you make me a dad

No nobody wants to be
no no one's lover
no matter what they say
lovers know they are the ones
who one day have to go
trophy wives
I know they wander
and find a young young man
trophy wives
I know they wander
one time you were a good rabbit
to all the girls
and all their lovely mothers
you tried a piece of everything
now nothing turns you on
trophy wives
I know they wander
and find a young young man
Lyricstrophy wives
I know they wander
run run baby I don't feel alive
but I'm pretty and I'm pretty sure
I'm gonna be alright to drive
to new jack city for a younger man
with a better brain
I fell in love with you
no matter what you say
but you were right about the reasons
I don't want to be
what I'm becoming
your trophy wife
I know they wander
and find a young young man
you trophy wife
I know they wander
and find a young man
your trophy wife
I know they wander

In a fashion coat I float down my city
don't you think I look pretty anymore
I'll do everything to you but I can hardly come
cause I'm so afraid of you falling
I die fast in this city
outside I die slow
I'm not stupid I swear
I read the foreign news to understand my nation
you get two options in The You Estates
black city bloodbath or white country rape
I die fast in this city
outside I die slow
I die fast in this city
outside I die slow
everywhere I am is just another thing without you in it
(repeat)

Tonight there isn't any light under your door
I guess you must be somewhere breathing
where skin and everything still know what they are for
and blood remembers where to go
I fell in love with you no matter what you say
but you were right about the reasons
to turn a magdeline into the month of May
I shoulda known the magdeline was me
so I'm turning on the stereo
and I'm lining up the names
on the mixes I made before you
and I'm turning into fairytales
with glitter and some glue
everything we ever planned to ever do
tonight there isn't any light under your door
I guess you must be somewhere breathing
in patterns unfamiliar to the one you're underneath
I pinned those patterns in my coat
so I'm turning on the stereo
and I'm turning into fairytales
yes I'm turning on the stereo
and I'm turning into you
. . .

Every time you get a drink
and every time you go to asleep
are those dreams inside you head
is there sunlight on your bed
and every time you're driving home
way outside your safety zone
wherever you will ever be
you're never getting rid of me
you own me
there's nothing you can do
you own me
you coulda made a safer bet
but what you break is what you get
you wake up in the bed you make
I think you made a big mistake
you own me
there's nothing you can do
you own me
Lyricsyou own me
lucky you
you own me
there's nothing you can do
you clean yourself to meet
the man who isn't me
you're putting on a shirt
a shirt I'll never see
the letter's in your coat
but no one's in your head
cause you're too smart to remember
you're too smart
lucky you
