[Lyrics]
life tasted sweet when I was the bad twin
devil himself sat waving me by

all of my tattoos
they were of no use
no monetary values have I

ooh 
wont be long till I belong

bird at my window tells me tomorrow
mean ol tornado carries me off

pulls me from bed and bashes my head in
buries me halfway across the globe

ooh
wont be long till I belong
without all of this unlucky skin

think of me often
loosen my coffin
let all the bugs in my wooden home

ooh
wont be long till I belong
without all of this unlucky skin

"Drown Me"
Words & Music by John Craigie

This air is tainted I don’t want another breath 
Wrap your legs around me til I’m almost deaf 
Drown me baby, drown me baby 
I wasn’t using my lungs for any good anyway 
Them pretty boys they couldn’t handle your love 
They all agree you’re pretty bossy for a sub 
Drown me baby, drown me baby 
I wasn’t using my lungs for any good anyway 
I gave up sugar, babe, I kept the salt 
Your little anchor ain’t as heavy as you thought 
 
Step daddy wasn’t a man he was a cigarette 
This life smoked him down til there was nothing left 
Drain me baby, drain me baby 
I wasn’t spending my cash on any good anyway 
He smacked your mama up, she came back with a gun 
Karma’s a bitch but man it get the job done 
Drain me baby, drain me baby 
I wasn’t spending my cash on any good anyway 
You look stuck girl, don’t let the boat sink 
Your little anchor ain’t as heavy as you’re thinking 
 
The ex cleaned her act up isn’t that nice
She want me back, I’m nice but I ain’t that nice 
Break me baby, break me baby 
I wasn’t using my heart for any good anyway 
First of all child, I never said I was a saint 
Second of all, don’t you gotta be dead to be a saint 
Break me baby, break me baby 
I wasn’t using my heart for any good anyway 
Last time I checked girl we’re both still breathing 
Your little anchor ain’t as heavy as you’re thinking

Drown Me

I Can Breathe Again

BOOTCUT

Nothing Blows My Mind

Tower of tumbled rocks came tumbling down,
Upon the shrine I'd made without a sound,
It only held its meaning tenuously
Balancing the past as you image it to be

You've got it made
The natural way
Of doing things works out just fine
Light the candle
Like you mean it
Take a minute for lost time

Who can count on careless love?
For bettering the self
All the books on how things work
Unread on the shelf

Think you'll build a world you've never known
A place where you can finally feel at home
You know Satan is real and he wants you to dance
Heaven is heavy, you might take a chance
A song, a life, is just a tree, oh, me

You've got it made
The natural way
Of doing things works out just fine
Light the candle
Like you mean it
Take a minute for lost time

Who can count on careless love?
For bettering the self
All the books on how things work
Unread on the shelf

Off and On Again
