i think i should go now

LYRICS:

i wish you still called me when you were drunk
the way that you used to when we were younger
the boys act like dogs so we get on the phone
when did you got tired of writing back home?

you love the lights but do the lights love you?
do all your new friends hear your words like i do?
oh i love that crowd but i know where i stand
can you handle the sight of the eyes you command?

be your own man, do what you want
God knows you've got cooler places to haunt
and you're workin hard, harder than me
i guess it don't take twenty-twenty to see

we're through (i'm still hanging on)
what did i do? (i'm still hanging on)
waiting on you (i'm still hanging on)
still waiting on you (i'm still hanging on)

you're moving on up while i'm hangin around
hands in my pockets our old stomping grounds
did i offend ya? did i run my mouth?
am i just a reminder of this dead-end town?

well you're still electric, at least so i hear
i wouldn't know you've all but disappeared
when should I catch you? maybe next year?
i'll gamble my heart on your last resort beers

I guess that i'm bitter, i guess i've been burned
i'm such a child the way i never learn
don't hold it against me, my judgement's the worst
i know that you'll get it, and that's just why it hurts

we're through (i'm still hanging on)
what did i do? (i'm still hanging on)
waiting on you (i'm still hanging on)
still waiting on you (i'm still hanging on)

I wish you still called me when you were drunk (I wish you still called me when you were drunk)
I wish you still called me when you were drunk (I wish you still called me when you were drunk)
I wish you still called me when you were drunk (I wish you still called me when you were drunk)
I wish you still called me when you were drunk, I wish you still called me cuz i'd still pick up

I Wish You Still Called Me When You Were Drunk

This one goes out to my girl Diane Selwyn

LYRICS:

in all of my dreams i am missing my teeth
and dead things come back just to die again
ive sold our souls for a pink limousine just to circle the ground we’ll be lyin in

that surf rock you’re playing i cant make it out 
not quite like the ocean but how the lake sounds
this picture is silent you’re screaming too loud
echoing even now you’ve closed your mouth

how would you like to disappear?
i know a place
tell me that theres nothing i should fear
then waste away
every rotten corpse i’ve kissed on sunset boulevard
reduced to dust 
and gold dont rust
but im still no star

sometimes i see you in girls on the screen
lips red like blood while you smile and wave
i never said that it should’ve been me
and you never cared to know anyways

i went to bed begging woke up confused
static on standby electrical blue
glow in the dark as you’re leaving the room
please don’t turn it off i cant sleep without you

how would you like to disappear?
i know a place
tell me that theres nothing i should fear
then waste away
every rotten corpse i’ve kissed on sunset boulevard
reduced to dust 
and gold dont rust
but im still no star

pick me up drive me home wont you stay baby
pick me up drive me home wont you stay baby
pick me up drive me home wont you stay baby
pick me up drive me home wont you stay baby

pick up your laundry
pick up your laundry
pick up your laundry
blind now but once i could see

how would you like to disappear?
i know a place
tell me that theres nothing i should fear
then waste away
every rotten corpse i’ve kissed on sunset boulevard
reduced to dust 
and gold dont rust
but im still no star

Pink Limousine

The same song as before but holy fuck why did I use so much reverb the first time

Prison Guard (2024 Mix)

LYRICS

You said it’s easy money
And nothing’s set in stone
Well I’m gonna live forever
And you’re gonna go on home

Are you a good man to your family?
I’m a mystery to mine
I’m gonna live forever
I’m gonna borrow baby’s time

When the devil gets to talkin
And the devil gets to do
And the devil wants his shirt back
He’s gonna come a lookin for you

But I ran off with your interests 
And I took your poems too
Sold your evil for a sandwich
Wrote a tune about the view

Borrowed time
Borrowed love 
Running blind
Wake up, baby release the doves!
Borrowed time
Borrowed love
Running blind
Chin up, baby release the doves!

Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm
Mmm-mmm

I’m a flirtin with your demons
Did you think you were the son of God?
I’m a freak show teasin Jesus, 
Man your son is out here barking like a dog

I’m a stray cat catching sparrows
You say you’re just a wild thing too
With a bit of power dripping from behind your lips
You couldn’t swallow up the truth

When the devil gets to talkin
And the devil gets to do
And the devil wants his girl back
He’s gonna come a lookin for you

But I ran to where you come from
Back to the twilight zone
I’m gonna live forever
And you’re gonna go on home

Borrowed time
Borrowed love
Running blind
Wake up, baby release the doves!
Borrowed time
Borrowed love
Running blind
Chin up, baby release the doves!

Are you mad that this means nothing?
Are you tired of chasing birds?
Still going for that trophy?
Are you disappointed in these words?

Do you need more dedication?
Do you need a thoughtful prayer?
Cause I’ve got this raw ambition
It’s around here but I don’t know where

And I’m angry at the future
For leaving me behind
And I’m angry at the stars for being
Way too fucking high

And I’m angry at my shadow
For trying to take my place
She hits but I forgive because the
Shit she writes is…
(Actually it’s not even that great)

Borrowed time
Borrowed love
Running blind
Wake up, baby release the doves!
Borrowed time
Borrowed love
Running blind
Chin up, baby release the doves!

Borrowed time
Borrowed love
Running blind
Wake up, baby release the doves!
Borrowed time
Borrowed love
Running blind
Chin up, baby release the doves!

i think i should go now
