THE BIG HEAVY - 3 track EP by The Living Skins

THE BIG HEAVY

FUCK YOU

NINE CIRCLES

SWORD SWALLOWER

I’ve come, Undone.
Too late, It’s gone.
I know, I’m dumb.
Go on, have fun.
Please me, kill me.
Waste me, pollute me.
Swallowed my tongue,
I’m scared of, everyone.

The alarm beats my brains in,
Sound as sharp as gelatin,
I will wish me the best,
I expect nothing less.

Concealing, the sadness,
Restricting the madness,
It scrapes and it stabs,
It’s picking at the scabs.
Love it, or hate it,
Destroy or save it,
I’ve come, undone,
And I know, I’m dumb.

The alarm beats my brains in,
Sound as sharp as gelatin,
I will wish me the best,
I expect nothing-

Less

Unfurl

I'm strutting down the street 
And I'm looking like a queen 
I missed the last bus 
But won't take the next train 
I see your lips a-moving 
And I don't give a shit 
We know just what we want 
And baby you ain't it 

You better run, run, run ditty dum 
You better run, run, run, as fast as they come 
I've got a badge, burden, belt, hat, and a gun 
And I'm acting pissed drunk 
But I'm just having some fun 

I'm strutting down the street 
And I'm looking like a queen 
I'm just a starving artist 
Putting lead in all my paint 
I see your lips a-moving 
I don't give a shit 
You know we need a cure 
And baby you ain't it 

You better run, run, run ditty dum 
You better run, run, run, as fast as they come 
I've got a badge, burden, belt, hat, and a gun 
And I'm acting pissed drunk 
But I'm just having some fun 

Oh, oh, oh 
Oh hell no 

I'm strutting down the street 
And I'm looking like a queen 
I missed the last bus 
But won't take the next train 
I see your lips a-moving 
And I don't give a shit 
We know just what we want 
And baby you ain't it 

You better run, run, run ditty dum 
You better run, run, run, as fast as they come 
I've got a badge, burden, belt, hat, and a gun 
You better run, run, run because I'm as fast 
As they come

Reflections

As Fast as They Come

There's a breeze and it's blowing me away 
Bite your tongue, you waste the air that's in your lungs 
Said there's gotta be a way, out of the dark back into the light 
But I've been shot, I've been shot down 

And that's just how 
How it goes 
Yeah that's just how 
How it goes 

I try my best, though it never shows 
I'm bleeding through the veins of my stereo 
And I am God of my own 
But I've been shot, lord I've been shot down 

And that's just how 
How it goes 
Yeah that's just how 
How it goes 

I try my best, it never shows 
I'm bleeding through the veins of a broken stereo 
And I am God of my own 
I've been shot 
Down 
I've been shot 
Down

Shot Down

Four letter word 
Fuck, shit, damn that's all I heard 
Baby you're mistaken on your bullshit information 
I'm gunna teach you what it means to love 

Four letter word

Four Letter Word

It's early in the morning and the rain's already pouring 
While we're working under boss man's breath 
Now we're out getting heavy on an alcoholic levee 
But we're all just thinkin' about death 
I work my hours and exhaust my powers 
Cashing in a bullshit check 
And I won't spend a dime of my own time 
This is where I draw the line 

And then, boss man turns right around and says 
Hey, you, why don't you go to hell 
Well hell yeah, I'm gunna rock n' roll then head to bed 
I'm burning my skin 'cause I can't stand dancing in the one I'm in 
I'll take and I'll give a relationship I'm more than willing to live 
And I will lose my self in hell 

It's early in the morning and the rain's already pouring 
While we're working under boss man's breath 
Now I'm just a mess in a cocktail dress 
Praying for cardiac arrest 

And then, boss man turns right around and says 
Hey, you, why don't you go to hell 
Well hell yeah, I'm gunna rock n' roll then head to bed 
I'm burning my skin 'cause I can't stand dancing in the one I'm in 
I'll take and I'll give a relationship I'm more than willing to live 
And I will lose my self in hell 

So go to hell 
Well hell yeah, I'm gunna rock n' roll then head to bed 
I'm burning my skin 'cause I can't stand dancing in the one I'm in 
I will take I will give a relationship I'm more than willing to live 
And I will find myself in hell

Oh Hell

Well I see you walkin' round 
With your big, sweaty, gorilla arms around my girl 
And I, no I don't think that's right 
I said hey now baby child 
I said what is going down 
She said the alcohol is gone, so are the drugs 
Baby so, so is the love 

But I don't need your lovin' any way 
I don't need your lovin' any way 
I don't need your fucking lovin' any way 

And I see you walkin' round 
In them big, black, stiletto boots 
And baby, no I ain't scared of you 
I said hey now baby child 
I said what is going down 
She said the alcohol is gone, so are the drugs 
Baby so, so is the love 

But I don't need your lovin' any way 
I don't need your lovin' any way 
I don't need your fucking lovin' any way 

He's gunna kill her 
Gunna kill her 
Gunna kill her 
Gunna kill her 
He's gunna kill

Hound Mouth

I’ve got these plans inside my head 
Gotta fulfill before I’m dead 
End of my rope with nothing left to lose 
There’s an offer on the table that I cannot refuse 
So I’m going away till god knows when 
Wanna indulge in my mortal sin 
All want this while the others have that 
But we all bleed pills and cigarettes 

I said bad 
I wanna be a bad man 

Well I don’t believe in love anymore 
Seen too many walk right out the door 
And I’m so sick and tired of lighting myself on fire 
Baby this time I’m gunna make sure you burn 
Going away till god knows when 
Wanna indulge in my mortal sin 
All want this while the others have that 
But we all bleed pills and cigarettes 

I said bad, 
I wanna be a bad man 

I wanna be bad

Pills & Cigarettes
