LYRICS

Here’s another one for the cold cold ground
You’ve been throwing down the drinks at the speed of sound
Your mama couldn’t save you even if she tried
But if you could be anything, it should be fine

Gravity’s a bastard, it’ll pull you down
Imagine being Newton when he just found out
That everything you’re gonna see, you’ve seen before
You thought you had love, but it wasn’t yours

Now your garden’s empty but your car is clean
You’re all wine and smoke and amphetamine
Did you hear me singing in the dead of night
You couldn’t wait to find out
You couldn’t wait to find out

Here’s another one for your bloody nose
The time you left for work and burned all your clothes
For every time you said you didn’t need your friends
To never have to walk the cold ground again

But gravity’s a bastard, it drags you down
Why did I have to meet you when you just found out
That everything you’ll ever do, you’ve done before
You shook my hand and lied and walked out the door

Now my hope is dying and the moon is mean
You’re all wine and smoke and you’re sick of me
Did you hear me singing in the dead of night
You couldn’t wait to get out
You couldn’t wait to get out

Maybe in a thousand years or so
A shovel’s gonna find you in the cold cold snow
And everything you’re gonna see while falling down:
You were always gonna end up in the cold cold ground

Now your garden’s empty but your car is clean
You’re all wine and smoke and amphetamine
Did I hear you singing in the dead of night
I couldn’t wait to find out
I couldn’t wait to find out

Here’s another one for the cold cold ground
You’ve been throwing down the drinks at the speed of sound
Your mama couldn’t save you even if she tried
But if you could be anything, it should be fine

Cold Cold Ground

Lyrics:

Still looking for you
In all of these rooms
I see your face in the trees and the hills
What would a good man do
We had some bad times
And I guess that I could take the blame
You say we’re nothing if not a joke
I guess I feel the same

I’m stone cold sober and I’ve been for miles
Been going ‘round in circles all this time
Trying to shake the things we said and did
But it’s a long way home
I might see signs all over, but I’m blind
There’s something missing I can’t seem to find
The night is only half past dead
And I’m all alone

I lean for the sea
But I never get far
How many men must have died on the way
To get you to where you are
But I’m on the last verse
And I think I’m hearing the invisible choir
You shook my hand and I sold all my things
And set my house on fire

I’m stone cold sober and I’ve been for miles
Been going ‘round in circles all this time
Trying to shake the things we said and did
But it’s a long way home
I might see signs all over, but I’m blind
There’s something missing I can’t seem to find
The night is only half past dead
And I’m all alone

I’m falling over, trying to drink the night
I’ve been going ‘round in circles all this time
The devil’s dancing on my bedroom floor,
Saying “it’s time to go”
My hands are shaking, someone tie me down
I’m pushing daisies any moment now
The night is only half past dead
And I’m all alone
The night is only half past dead
And I’m all alone

Half Past

Hang Me, Oh Hang Me

LYRICS

i've never seen nobody 
dance like you 
in times like these i wonder 
if that's true 
if you are lonely too 
'cause we've always been 
hopelessly fucked up 

you used to be a model 
for magazines 
the girl from Amsterdam, she 
kept me clean 
i guess i should move away 
'cause in some sad way 
i'm already gone 

it hits me when there's nothing 
left to give 
in the ashes of my failures 
there you live 
ageless and possible 
i'm watching you 
dancing in your prime 
twenty-some 
frozen in time

Dancer

LYRICS:
I came down here to sell the drugs you hid beneath your bed 
I came down here to bend my crooked soul 
And I wish you'd have the decency to tell me what they said 
'Cause trouble walks beside me, as you know 

Oh and if I was a fighter, then a fighter I would be 
But the more I fight, the more I'm fought 
Oh and if I was a sailor, I would sail across the sea 
But the more I dream, the more I know I'm not 

The cats upon the rooftops weep, the winter stole the sun 
The hour's come of which the poets feed 
And I guess that I must stab the eye of someone who's in charge 
I say; the more I stab, the less I bleed 

Oh and if I was a painter, I would paint the snow all green 
I'd stroke the sky to cover up the grey 
Oh and if I was a waiter, I'd be waiting for the spring 
'Cause trouble walks beside me everyday 

Well, I guess that I could love you even when my heart is faint 
But I did not come to kiss your broken bones 
You'll hear the sound of thunder traveling through the wind 
The whistleblower's come to claim his home 

Oh and if I was a drinker, I would drink away the blue 
But the more I drink, the thirstier I get 
Oh and if I was a runner, I would run my way to you 
But this trouble's not gonna let me forget
