Blue Skies Are Black Again lyrics - The 88

Here come the broken mouth
Blown in from the South
Everything's sweet if it's said with a drawl
But underneath the charm
That'll do you harm
Take what you need, yeah, but don't take it all

Before the early light
Rose up red and white
I caught the blues in the back of your car
With no more rules to bend
No more notes to send
Red eyes and please only get you so far

And outside that rain keeps falling down
I hear it comin'

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Wait and see, listen to me
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Black again, black again, oh oh

Your mouth is movin' and my face is on fire
If I said you were sweet
Well I'd be a liar
And don't say another word
The dark gets darker when your words are heard

And outside that rain keeps falling down
I feel it comin'

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Wait and see, listen to me
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Black again, black again, oh oh

This boy's in bed
Covering his head
He can't pretend, oh
So he tries
Covering his eyes
He can't decide, oh

I'm in overload
I've been feeling mean

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again
Wait and see, listen to me
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again

Holy ghost is out on the coast
She speaks and then
Blue skies are black again

Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again
Blue skies are black again

Do You Love Me lyrics - The 88

Do you love me
Are you listening
Do you care how I feel
Am I wrong or is this real
Am I just a waste of time
Will I ever call you mine
And do you love me
Like I love you

And do you need me
Are you waiting
When I call out your name
Do you ever feel the same
Am I talking to myself
Is your heart with someone else
And do you need me
Like I need you

I've been crawling outside your door
Yes I've been here before
You know I see that shape I'm in
You know I'm crawling right out my skin
How much longer must I wait
When all I wanna hear you say
I want you just to tell me, tell me
Give me a sign

Well I've been crawling outside your door
Yes I've been here before
Ah did you see that shape I'm in
You know I'm crawling right out my skin
How much longer must I wait
When all I wanna hear you say
I want you just to tell me, tell me
Give me a sign

And do you love me
Are you listening
Do you care how I feel
Am I wrong or is this real
Am I talking to myself
Is your heart with someone else
And do you love me

Someday Blues lyrics - The 88

The valley was death
So bored and unused
Spoke under your breath
I'm not here to amuse

Where nothing would grow
And no one was seen
So hard just to know
What's real and what's dream

When you'd had enough
We were still only kids
And I was too young
To know why you did what you did

And though you were here
So little remained
And you never felt near
And I never felt safe

The truth is just this
I love you till it hurts
Till I'm gone and missed
And laid down in the dirt

Oh, My Love lyrics - The 88

Oh, my love
It's you I was dreaming of
I've been tired and sleeping
Good lord above
You're my only love

Tell me then
From this bed you're in
Were you sleeping sound boy
You can't pretend
Was she here again

Outside stars they light the sky
I never really noticed without you though
In here everything is clear
I never really noticed without you though, I know

Please believe
You're the one for me
No more wretched lies girl
It tortures me
You're the one for me

How could you
Take a love so true
Leave it dead and bleeding
And torn in two
Tell me how could you

Outside stars they light the sky
I never really noticed without you though
In here everything is clear
I never would've noticed without you though, I know

What's that there
In your hand so fair
If I wasn't dreaming
I would be scared
What do you hold there

If I said you will soon be dead
Would you beg and plead boy
Or cry instead, yes you'll soon be dead

My Friend John lyrics - The 88

My friend John
He's passed on
Far away
Or so they say

Remember driving by the house on the sea
And you were quiet in the back of my car
Headed to hear about how bad it could be

Now I'm alive and I can't find the door
Do you have what you had
With you anymore
My friend John

My friend Keith
Went to sleep
He's gone away
Or so they say

Remember walking through the flowers in the yard
And I was trying not to forget to breathe
And we were swallowed by the mouth of the stars

Now I'm alive and I'm stuck on the stage
And you're a voice in a dream
From a different age
My friend Keith

Remember walking through the flowers in the yard
And I was trying not to flinch when I breathe
And we were swallowed by the mouth of the stars

Now I'm alive and I'm stuck on the stage
And you're a voice in a dream
In a different age
My friend John

Center Of The Sun lyrics - The 88

Drag me out of eye for eye
With Sundayʼs souls
Who live to die
And leave me in the pouring rain
To know myself
To feel my pain

Cause Iʼve been drawing closer every day
To the center of the sun
And though Iʼd like to tell you I could stay
I know Iʼm already gone

Then prop me up with stilts on fire
With ash and smoke
But still no higher
But easy now the die is cast
Who once was first
Will soon be last

They Ought To See You Now lyrics - The 88

You took their breath with just a little wink
You had their heart with just a dance
Had them crawling, yeah you made them think
Ah that they really had a chance

Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now

Yeah you were meant for only sunny days
You had the silver in your mouth
Ah but life has got a funny way
Of ripping all that silver out

Down and alone
And never shown how
They ought to see you now

Oh we loved those lips
And so fine hips
That you used to shake
Yeah you take what you could take
Yeah well maybe we're all better off this way

I heard about it from a friend of mine
He said they really did you in
Said you're hard enough to say you're fine
But it was written in your skin

Down and alone
And never shown how
Ah somehow
Yeah somehow
Ah somehow
They ought to see you now

After Hours lyrics - The 88

Honey hide all the light
Go and shut that shade
Outta sight outta mind
Is the game weʼll play
Itʼs getting harder to breathe
But tonight weʼre safe

Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
And weʼll be like everyone

Well the night is a vine
And we swing so low
That we can spit on the heads
Of the friends we know
Itʼs gonna eat out of me
But if you say so

Cause after hours
With the drunks it all goes away
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone

Cause after hours
When the drunks go separate ways
Starry showers
And weʼre not boats on different waves
Phony memories
Yeah we both know
But weʼll never say
And weʼll be like everyone

Won't Catch Me lyrics - The 88

Iʼll stay down below
Carve out our names in wood
And under stars that glow
Iʼll be away for good
And if I find the sea
Scratch out our names in sand
And by that ocean deep
Iʼll be another man
Well Iʼve been stranded in a place called hell
And Iʼve run out of any dreams to sell
But Iʼd be gone but for the love of thee
But this here heartʼll be the death of me
Cause Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
And if I ran honey would you come
Or will you stay to be another one
Whose mouths are moving but their feet stand still
Who give their lives to what theyʼd die to kill
Well Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know they wonʼt catch me
Iʼll be taking a ride
By the moon Iʼll escape
Baby cast it aside
Peekinʼ out of the eyes of the ocean
Far from the trees
Iʼm out in the world
You know theyʼll never catch me
Iʼm high as the flaming
Wild white dove
Whoʼs callinʼ us back
To honey where weʼre loved

As Far As I Can See lyrics - The 88

I have no reason to be cold
And I should watch my words
But sometimes honey I donʼt know if I
Am really changing or
Iʼm stuck to the bottom of a mess Iʼve made
With thoughts so low
Cause Iʼve been so afraid
Oh no not that
I guess Iʼll leave it in the past
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And I have no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And when itʼs easy for me to forget
That Iʼm so loved
As long as I can let it go alright
And Iʼll be giving up the fight
Thereʼs not a thing I wouldn't do
In all these songs
If only that did good for you
And Iʼve got no reason to
Be talking out of turn
You think that I could learn
Donʼt you dear
And in the morning when I see her face
Your same set eyes
And thereʼs no other place
That I could be
At least as far as I can see

Automatic Brain lyrics - The 88

You just all need to settle down
Thereʼs no need to wake the dead
Then sheʼll just be forced to come around
To take all you from my head
Yes itʼs true I donʼt sound so good
And itʼs true Iʼve been in pain
But when my gift horse is not around
Iʼm me with someone elseʼs name
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
When sheʼs gone I canʼt look at you
When sheʼs gone I go insane
Then I will be forced to hunt her down
By my automatic brain
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
While my love she devours
Any reason to love
So Iʼve prayed so what
And Iʼd trade
My thunder for your lightning but
I head for my truly
At least once an hour
For a head full of beauty
With a hand full of flowers
Always thinking about her
You canʼt have what is ours
While my love she devours
Any reason to love

Hold On lyrics - The 88

Back when you were down and out
Up from your toes
And out of your mouth
Was that same old song
Someone mustʼve done you wrong again
Think about the things you did
Cigarettes, poems, and idiot kids
Theyʼre all famous now
But I hope you all learned how to fall
These are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Hold on
Shine on
Roll on
And hold on
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have
Loosen up that iron jaw
Fight to death born
Denying the law
Of that second hand
Now you see the writing and the wall
But these are the happy days
These are the ones we made
Holy and on display
Run like the devil
For all that you lack
You canʼt steal what you already have

Dead On The Water lyrics - The 88

She had a mouth that was stolen
From magazines she was holdinʼ
She kept her name in the papers
Itʼs good for calling in favors
And in the back of my mind
All the signs came down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Yes I could see
And I could see
Well she could never care about me
She had a face that was Snow White
Like sheʼd been chasing it all night
She came up smelling like roses
And stuck their checks up their noses
I felt it deep in my chest
And the rest rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
Oh I could see
And I could see
Ah she could never care about me
How does it feel to be loved
Dead on the water
But in the back of my mind
All the signs rained down upon me
Right down on me
And I could see
And I could see
Oh I could see
Well she could never care about me
And I could see
Yes I could see
Yes I could see
Well she could never care about me

Takes It Away lyrics - The 88

Donʼt be sorry
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away

Donʼt be angry
Or upset
And when youʼre crazy
Donʼt forget
That Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away

And look at me
Caught on the seas
And look at me
Caught in a lie
Well lies get told
Boats get rowed
And we live life after life

So donʼt be sorry
Donʼt you cry
And donʼt you worry
Cause we donʼt die
And Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away
Yes Iʼm scared
But I love you
And that takes it away

Diamond In The Coal lyrics - The 88

Iʼm a habit
Youʼre some running joke
Iʼm not worth repeating
Youʼre fixed but not broke

But in that nothing
To where I was led
I searched for your reasons
But found mine instead

I had my eyes wide open
My mouth was dry
I saw the sunlight choking
On blackened skies
And when the dark came crashing
I was swallowed whole
And in the moonlight flashing
A diamond in the coal

Cursed are hands that
Touched on your skin
And cursed are the eyes
That have seen where youʼve been
But out of curses
Old sailors were shown
Thereʼs more than one wind to
Carry you home

Lost And Found lyrics - The 88

Left at the altar
Proud to be seen
A serpent in his saviorʼs eyes
But itʼs easy to see
Heʼs got that hole inside
I surrender my throat
My feet donʼt choke and lie

Raised out of shadows
Tempted with flames
And brought up in a senseless night
But itʼs hard to stand up
When you see wrong was right
I owe debts to the dark
It showed my heart the light

So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come

Oh California
Distant and warm
Well wasnʼt I your favorite son
I canʼt help how I feel
But Iʼm not the only one
I expect to be crowned
Beneath this ground Iʼve won

So come ye
All who mourn
All whoʼve died and are reborn
All whoʼve tried
And are reborn
And come

Go To Heaven lyrics - The 88

Went to hell in my Sunday clothes
Fell asleep with a bloody nose
As for where I was going
No one knows

Then you walked up and I could tell
There's no blood and there's no hell
And I felt like singing, "If I fell"

Go to heaven
Where you are
Keep your wishes
In a jar
When you're willing
Hang them on a star

I can't tell if I need you
Well I could tell you that I love you
Yes, I could tell you that I love you
I thank God that I know you
I want to tell you that I love you
I want to tell you that I love you
And I always will

I was sleepin' and I was slow
But you told me
So now I know
Turn me on just like a radio

Go to heaven
Leave your skin
Pick a number
Pick and grin
Take a picture
So they know where you've been

Was it a poem or song that said
Isn't it hard to forget
Let's forget

Heartsick Town lyrics - The 88

You don’t have to look while the world keeps changin’
You don’t have to look while your bones are agin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under

Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh

You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town

You are young so don’t forget
The things that have not happened yet
Are what you dream of
Aimed and pointed at the sun
You fell in front of everyone
Like a wounded dove
Think of what you love

You don’t have to look but the storm keeps ragin’
You don’t have to look at the wars they’re wagin’
Sentimental books and a paint by numbers
You don’t want to wake from the spell you’re under

Life will look good in a photograph
Picking up steam till you just can’t laugh

You don’t want to look, but the world keeps changing
Hanging up meat on the radio
Taking your seat for the picture show
You don’t want to look but your bones are agin’
It’s a constant heartsick town

Bad Love lyrics - The 88

I hate to say it but I can’t stand seeing you
Cause every word upon your tongue is untrue
Gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
Cause it’s a bad love

I hate to say it but I can’t stand seeing you
Cause there’s no tellin’ what a fool just might do
I’m gonna take you to the river
Throw it overboard
You’ve taken all I’ve given
And I can’t take anymore
Cause it’s a bad love

All along you tied and released me
Awful and unkind
You’re, the soul that I’m not gonna save this time

I’m gonna tell the world about it
Just so that they know
Talkin’ till I shout it
And I can’t talk anymore
It’s just a bad love

This Must Be Love lyrics - The 88

I'm gonna take this heart
I'm tired of leavin' it
Your kind of love has gotta poor boy believin'
When I call your name
Oh, all you do is run

Ah, but then you whisper in my ear
And all those things just disappear

Take these eyes
I do not need 'em
I hear him talking, girl and I don't want to see him
He puts you down
And smells like alcohol

If you're so impressed with what you found
Then how come you look so down

You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, honey this must be love

I give away my soul
I felt it growing
Look at my lines I'm gonna tell you that it's showing
And all the boys that you don't ever call

If you're so impressed with what you found
Then why do you look so down

You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
That this must be love
Ah, this must be love

You can tell your brother, your sister, your cousin too
Cause this must be love
Ah honey this must be love

And I swore I’d never say it
What do you take me for
But now I'm bored
And I've been dreamin' and I can't take anymore, yeah!

And if you're so impressed with what you found
Then why do you look so down

You can tell your mama, your daddy, your boyfriend too
Cause this must be love
Ah, honey this must be love

You can tell your brother, your sister, your cousins too
Ah honey this must be love
Ah honey this must be love
And this must be love
Yeah, this must be love
This must be love
Ah, this must be love

After All lyrics - The 88

The rain keeps pouring down
There’s a ghost in every room
When darkness rolls around
I’ll get light from that spiteful moon

I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all

Yes you’re far away
And it’s only that I fear
It’s there you want to stay
And you wish I’d just disappear

I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all

Some say love is violins
Playin’ all the time
Others say love’s just a fool
Who’s crazy, dumb, and blind
With you my love it’s neither
It’s the best of those two combined

So if you are awake
And about to get in bed
Just for my own sake
Could you pick up that phone instead

I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I need you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I miss you after all
I’d feel better if you’d call
Seems I love you after all

You should not leave me all alone
You should not leave me on my own

Love Is The Thing lyrics - The 88

I got up, I got down
I could barely breathe or make a sound
Then a man came to me
He said I think I know exactly what you need

He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing

Well I shook and I moaned
I told him I’d forever be alone
He said son can’t you see
“Here’s the only thing you’ll ever need”

He told me
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing

You sit there alone by the phone
Just what you tryin’ to prove
Well love is a switch and the itch
That’s gonna bring you to
There’s nothing you can do

I said oh, I’m not well
There must be something more for you to tell
I said wait, please don’t go
He said there’s nothing I can do
But there is something you should know

He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
The thing you ought to try
No need to ask me why
He said that
Love is the thing
The thing you ought to try
Yes, love is a wonderful thing
Ah, love is a wonderful thing
Yes, love is a wonderful thing

Carnival Music lyrics - The 88

There’s no reason to show me
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell

Now the flowers are growing
And there’s songs I can sell
I don’t much have much to say
Each time you go away
I guess there’s no more to tell

Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw

There’s no reason to show me
I can think for myself
When you’re asleep
I wake hungry and wide awake
I guess there’s no more to tell

Because we’re holy
Because we hurt
Because we need
When we were open
When we were clean
When we would act like those videos we saw

Nigel lyrics - The 88

Early in the morning
Nigel wakes you from a pleasant dream
And he tells you that he’s hungry
And you’d better move

Nigel can’t afford to lift
His head and by the door, he sits
Don’t forget you that you must call him
By his second name
Bojangles

Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy

Writing on his pillow
He’s the greatest thing
You’ve ever seen

But you better watch him closely
Or he’ll yell at you

Wait
What’s that there
He won’t care
He’s still sleeping
He knows we care
He’ll just stare
And bring us joy

One Of These Days lyrics - The 88

First I gave up and ignored me
As for love well that’s another story
I got drunk off wait and sees
Found that I’m really in a war with me

Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds

I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Anymore

Wait a minute here
Where’s the glory
I was sold by all that went before me
I woke up
And now I can see
Down to the river
Gonna wash me clean

Now slow down
I said I’m gonna get up
I want it bad but enough’s enough
I want to see how my own voice sounds

I got my ex-ray eye
That sees inside every door
Yes I’ve seen enough
I don’t need anybody these days
To say what I am for
I saw those fear filled eyes
That kept me tied to the floor
Yes I’ve seen enough
I won’t forget about it these days
Livin’ for these days

Oh my God
What did I do
There’s chains on my legs
And there’s shackles on my shoes
I laid my wishes
All up for you

Yours Tonight lyrics - The 88

If they think that I’m lucky
Well, honey they’re right
They can say what they want to
They can all leave my sight
Cause after all I will be yours tonight

And it’s easy to say it
It’s harder to show
I can take you for granted
But I hope that you know
There’s nothing more
I will be yours tonight

It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright

And I don’t know where I’m going
I seem far away
And I’m tired of moving
And I sleep through the day
One thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight

It’s your voice that’s ringing in my ears
It’s the way I feel inside
It’s the thought that I get
When you are near
That I’m alright

When I’m thinkin’
Lord I’m sinkin’
This all seems to much
Soon you will be
Sent right to me
And I know that’s enough

Sometimes the devil
Walks up to me
Says I know who you are
And I know what you need
But he’ll find the door
When I am yours tonight

Cause one thing’s for sure
I will be yours tonight

I'll Follow You lyrics - The 88

You got this songbird to sing
You made me feel more than anything
You gave me reason to smile
And all the while
You gave me love

You saved a boy from himself
You gave a hand when he needed help
You tore me off of that wall
And most of all
You gave me love

And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you
Yes I will follow you

You gave me something to say
You made me wake up for every day
You get me high when I’m low
So now you know
You gave me love

And if you wanted to go
This I hope you know
I’ll follow you
And if you wanted to hide
No matter what you try
I’ll follow you

You never know what you do
Or what you can get me through
And now I know
There’s nothing I thought I knew

Let Me Go lyrics - The 88

There’s a thousand hours
Walking here between us
And a million holes
To dodge here on the floor

And even though the sleeping wolves surround us
There’s you and me
And really nothing more

And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go

And I got lost
Amidst the smoking candles
And I got lost amidst the phony trees
And I got lost with things
I could not handle
And I was off to make a fool of me

And I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
I don’t want to sing this song
But I have to
Let me go
Please let me go

For the sound that’s found right here
We’re going down

There’s no one here that cares enough to thrill me
But these suitcase tears will make us feel alive
And the parking lot is dark and always empty
It’ll fill up just as soon as it gets light

Who Is This lyrics - The 88

And who is this before me
And who is this before me
And who is this before me
I don’t care that no one really knows me

Command my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my arms
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all

Oh but I was lonely
And oh but I was lonely
And have you been so lonely

You don’t care
About the world outside
Take out my rage
I wanna be your friend
Command my legs
I wanna be your friend
Ten thousand ways
For me to be your friend
But I killed ‘em all

Go Go Go lyrics - The 88

Well I was stranded on the ocean
I was drowning there at best
So I came unto your desert
There I tried to bide it
But I got so excited
I can get you what you wanted
I can get you what you need
You don't care if you don't show up
Cause I'm not in need you're such a friend indeed
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
And I got bones inside my body
You've got eyes inside your head
And if you saw the things I'm writing
You would hate my guts
And you probably think I'm nuts
And I will call you when I wanna
I will call you when I can
I don't care if you get lonely
I don't care that you you had me up all night

Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
Well it was big and white
And on your shoulder
And I could see your throat
And there was no one home
And it was colder
And I could hear you moan
And there was no one here to talk about it
And I was in the mood
And so we go go go go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
Now it's time that we we go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go
We go go go go

Love You Anytime lyrics - The 88

Heavy is the heart
That reaches out in vain
And tears itself apart
And runs back for the same.

And many are the songs
That only go unheard.
But when our body's gone
We both will sing along
And we'll know every word.

And out in the yard
Hands will be shook
We'll laugh at all
The chances we took.

Yeah, you can wreck yourself
You can call me names
You can swear and say
I'm the one to blame.

You can raise your voice
You can roll your eyes
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.

Cause there's no other place
That I would rather be
Cause when I look at you
You look right back at me.

So please don't be upset
And please don't be alarmed
We'll take it to the west
The place that I love best
And it'll be in your arms.

And out in the yard
Hands will be shook
We'll laugh at all
The chances we took.

And won't it be great
Yes, won't it be good
I will thank God
That wasn't so hard.

Yeah, you can wreck yourself
You can call me names
You can swear and say
I'm the one to blame.

You can raise your voice
You can roll your eyes
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.

You can hate yourself
You can run and hide
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.

Yeah, the earth can shake
And the rain can fall
But I won't be scared cause I...
Love, there's nothing you could
Ever do to get me to say goodbye.

Ahhhh
Ahhh ahhh ahhh
Ahhh ahhh ahhh

Yeah, you can wreck yourself
You can call me names
You can swear and say
I'm the one to blame.

You can raise your voice
You can roll your eyes
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime.

You can tell your friends
That I'm just a mess
You can stomp your feet
You can beat your chest.

You can hate yourself
You can run and hide
Honey I'll still love you
Anytime [x5]

Coming Home lyrics - The 88

Won't you be good to yourself
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home

Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home

Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home

Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home

And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home

Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home

But oh, it's not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think she's coming home to me

La la la la la la la...

No One Here lyrics - The 88

Throw away the paper
And throw away the mail
Be bad if you wanna
Be prepared to feel
And all the expectations
I will never meet
Take you to the point
Of never believing
And you're tired of me
My love

But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there's no one here who knows just how I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is real
And broken down

So put it all behind you
Where you cannot see
And if you're growing older
Don't forget me
Cause I will disappoint you
Just because I can
And I will bring you back
To all that you say when you wanna call me friend
And every time I show you
How this is gonna end
My love

But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there's no one here who knows just how I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is real
And broken down

Cry if you wanna
Tear down the walls
But there's no one here who love you
Or who come each time you call
So throw away the paper
And throw away the mail
Be bad if you wanna
But be prepared to feel

But there's no one here who loves you like I do
Thank god this much is true
Thank god this much is true
And there's no one here who knows just how I feel
Thank god this much is real
Thank god this much is real
And broken down

I'm Nothing lyrics - The 88

Here I am, Its just so far to go
I had you in my sight, well then you turn out all the lights
I had a big idea, I was gonna let you know.
But my voice was strange. it changed before I let it go
But first you're so in love, then you're suffocated
But when you told me off. Well I was serenated

I'm awake. let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up
Like you're with the one you love. Wait. Act like you don't know me.
Stick around and show me up, like you're with the one you love

I see you out with him, and we go toe to toe
You broke my heart in half but still I couldn't help but laugh
Just when I thought I could.. never love you more
You said you'd rather see me dead, then at your door.
But first you're so in love, then you're suffocated

But when you told me off. Well I was serenated

I'm awake. let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up
Like you're with the one you love. Wait. Act like you don't know me.
Stick around and show me up like you're with the one you love

I should give you up, but I just can't get enough.

Just when I thought I could never love you more.
You said you'd rather see me dead then at your door.

Wait let me know I'm nothing, stick around and show me up, like you're with the one you love.
Wait. Act like you don't know me. Stick around and show me up like you're with the one you love

Sons And Daughters lyrics - The 88

Well it all began like a new routine
We were drunk, we were tired, we were sick, we were in between
And the jig was up when the sun went down
It was dark, it was mean, it was black, there was not a sound
And when the morning papers did not come
We shook our heads
We knew that we were done
And so we sat and prayed for just another try

Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to

Now the birds don't sing and the cars won't go
There's a lump in your throat
There's no songs on the radio
And the walls caved in, and the well went dry, and the mountain shook
And the people all wondered why
And in the morning I woke up to find there's someone here
There's someone in mind and so I hung my head and
And began to cry

Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to

Cradled whipped and mother's tongue
It's not hard to see what went wrong
If I told you once like I done told you twice,
You can beg you can kneel you can pray, you'll be sacrificed
And when the morning papers did not come
We shook our heads
We knew that we were done
And so we sat and prayed for just another try

Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to

Throw your babies in the water
Dah Dah Dah
Let your hair down like you used to
And tell all your sons and daughters
Dah Dah Dah
They don't have to grow up like you
They're not supposed to

It's A Lot lyrics - The 88

Don't you worry, baby,
I told you I was comin' home
I went into the back,
Fell between the cracks,
All alone

So when you say you did,
Well, let's say you didn't
When you roll your eyes,
I think you it get it,
To memory,
That we could never be

I'm just thinking back
And stuck on your shoulder
and it drags you down,
It makes you feel old,
it's a photograph,
All that we never had

It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)

And it's the cardboard box,
Stuck in the corner
It's your backwood talk,
I'll make it in tone
It's your phonery (phonery phonery phonery,)
Manages everything

And it's the call I made,
When you were lucky
It's the slack I gave,
I read in a book
It's a magazine (magazine magazine magazine,)
All that you never see

It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)

And it's not,
Would you find
It's a lot? (a lot alot alot)

Don't you worry, baby,
I told you I was comin' home
I would never leave you there,
Waitin' in your chair,
All alone (all alone all alone all alone)

So when you say you did,
Well, let's say you didn't
When you roll your eyes,
I think you get it,
To memory (memory memory memory,)
All we could never be

It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)
It's a lot (It's a lot)

And it's not,
Could you find
It's a lot?

Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby
Don't you worry, baby

Don't you worry, baby

Like You Do lyrics - The 88

My gun exploded
Blew a hole right through the wall
And have you noticed that I come each time you call

I’m gonna run through the door
Down to the floor
It must be true
Nobody does it like you do

Now I’ve been shakin’
Like a leaf up in a tree
And you’ve been takin’
Till there’s nothing left of me

I’m gonna run through the door
Down to the floor
It must be true
Nobody does it like you do

And I’ve been countin’
Every minute of the day
Just for the sound of
All those dirty things you say

Save Your Breath lyrics - The 88

Let me outside so I can breathe
I’m already flesh and blood
At least that’s what I think

Hand me your card and go sit still
You don’t really wanna call
I bet you never will

And if you stray you wont get far
You get reeled in politely
And if you stay you learn to crawl
You won’t get hated nightly anymore

And we’re waiting for the first time
And we’re hoping for the best
We appreciate your kindness
We love you all to death
But you should probably save your breath

Let me back out so I can leave
I don’t want this anymore
There’s nothing up my sleeve

And if you stray you won’t get far
You get reeled in politely
And if you stay you learn to crawl
You won’t get hated nightly anymore

And we’re waiting for the first time
And we’re hoping for the best
We appreciate your kindness
We love you all to death
But you should probably save your breath

Roll on chasing dreams
Don’t take me from this song
I ought to be gone

Waiting For The Next Drug lyrics - The 88

When you were young
What did you dream?
What did you love?
What would you be?

A rush from your head...
Down to your feet
And everything stopped.

And you wanted it
So much.
You said you needed it
So much.
But then you hated it
So much.
You said you took it down
You took it now
You wanna go back to those bad days
Cryin like you've never been hurt
Waitin for the next drug

Oh Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh Ohh-oh

You said you'll never be hurt

Oh Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Ah ah ah

Under your coat
Under your sleeves
Now you're a ghost
Nobody sees

You lay down your head
But you'll never sleep
You'll never forget...

How you wanted it
So much.
You said you needed it
So much.
But then you hated it
So much.
You said you took it down
You took it now
You wanna go back to those bad days
Beatin on somebodys car
Waitin for the next drug

Oh Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh Ohh-oh

You said you'd never be hurt
Cryin like you've never been hurt
Waitin for the next drug

Oh Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Ah ah ah

Now your shame is sticking out
It makes you wanna shout
I'm so sorry
And you wanted it
So much.
You said you needed it
So much.
But then you hated it
So much.
You said you took it down
You took it now
You wanna go back to those bad days
Beatin on somebodys car
Waitin for the next drug

Oh Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh Ohh-oh

You said you'd never be hurt
Cryin like you've never been hurt
Waitin for the next drug

Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh Ohh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh Ohh-oh
Oh-oh
Oh Oh-oh
Oh-oh
Ah ah ah

When you were young
What did you dream?

We Felt Alive lyrics - The 88

There was nobody home so we ran upstairs
And you tore off your clothes and I sat and I stared
There’s a million and one things that I’d like to try
So we went to the top but we got much too high
At least we felt alive

We rolled like pigs in the mud
We left our worries behind
Yes, yes

And we couldn’t believe what we saw and we cared
But they’ll probably tell us that no one was there
With the gold in your teeth and a gleam in your eye
And the rays of the sun burn a hole through the sky
At least we felt alive

We rolled like pigs in the mud
We thumbed our noses at time
We threw our clothes in the dirt
We left our worries behind
I saw it so well
And I could tell we were alive

When the thoughts in your head get the upper hand
And your mom and your dad never understand
And you want them to know but you can’t even try
‘Cause they call you a thief while they’re rollin’ their eyes

We rolled like pigs in the mud
We thumbed our noses at time
We threw our clothes in the dirt
We left our worries behind
We tossed our cares in the weeds
Our hearts beat right through our chests
With everything that we need
I have to say we were blessed
And I saw it so well
And I could tell we were alive

Hide Another Mistake lyrics - The 88

Over and over
They just say no sir
And now it's a big blur
I hid it up my sleeve

You gotta believe me
Hey I need it badly
And they never see me
Those sentimental fools

And I got the west coast sunshine
But it don't mean a thing

I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake

I'm out on the sidewalk
I'm put in a headlock
I tried but I can't stop
I put it in my shoe

And I got the west coast sunshine
But it don't mean a thing

I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake

This is a model tongue
This is the start of what's already done
This is the part that you eat when there's nowhere to turn

I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake

I'm getting over like I knew that I would
I'm feeling older than a younger man should
But one of these days I'll finally make good
And hide another mistake

All 'Cause Of You lyrics - The 88

I've been sinking through the drain of love
lift my eyes to skies of up above
listen to me this is how I feel
since I knew you all my thoughts are real
you're the only one I wanna do
every thing's new
and it's all 'cause of you

I've been moving cause my heart is true
telling everyone I know bout you
tell your mama that you won't be home
let your daddy know you're not alone

all I wanna do is make you mine
I said I'd love you honey anytime
don't believe the things they say about me
and all those things you know I'd never be
you're the only one I wanna do
every thing's new
and it's all 'cause of you

now honey, honey, honey I can walk, walk, walk
I caught you kneeling in the alley with the baby talk
now listen to me baby if you can't sit still
I know your sister will

there ain't no blood on my hands love
there ain't no blood on my hands love
there ain't no blood on my hands love
the sun is up and I understand it's me

Nobody Cares lyrics - The 88

Open your ears this is a story
It isn't clear is he a fool or a god?
But I don't care who knows it
And I don't care who sees
Lift up my head and roll into a dream

Get out the way he's never sorry
Lives in a play he knows it's always your fault
But I don't care who knows it
And I don't care who saw
I turn my head and hope that it'll stop

'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun

Help on the way isn't she pretty?
It's a new day he feels like a comic book god
But I don't care who knows it
And I don't care who sees
Lift up my head and roll into a dream

'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun

But then you shake
And then you moan
Come to find out
You're alone
But then you choke
You got another thing stuck in your throat
Then you find out
You were home

'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun

'Cause nobody cares what you've been through
And nobody cares how much you do
And nobody cares what kind of drugs you're on
I can't take anymore fun

Bowls lyrics - The 88

Don't believe anybody else
Fantasy falling for yourself I, I

Don't believe anything you like
Got to keep pulling at your life I, I

I feel like I'm 18
With the bowls on the scene
And the big poster wet dream
Waiting for my by the way
Praying for a runaway

I had songs in my throat
I had the t.v. remote
And when a box would come
I could always ask for some
Lazy eyes would just slip out from their lids

Please don't tear off my head
The things that I said
Only make me see god

And if I keep calling from the back
Turn to see anybody crack I, I

I got my knees stuck up in my head
Then you know all the things I said I, I

Head Cut Off lyrics - The 88

Fallin to fall
Made you feel small
Showed up to crawl away

Say what you said
Made up my head
No one is led astray

Now my bed is burning
Running around with my head cut off
And the big ones see my churning
Giving it up like I've had enough

I know it's wrong
Made it too long
Now it's a song to play

All of my time
Made out of rhymes
Not all the lines can stay

All of those mountains burn for today

Call off your cop
Beg him to stop
Show him your not that way

Battle Scar lyrics - The 88

I know you can and you should but you won't dear
Took out a part of your heart when they don't cheer
Was it a medal you got when you woke there?
On your own dear

When you were young you were hung up and lied to
Every man with a plan got inside you
Was it the bottle you dropped when they found you?
On your own dear

And it's clear right on the page
This is your battlescar
And it's clear, clear as the day
You got your battlescar
Hey I know, ya I know, ya I know

Now that you're tossed on a sea of emotion
Every cut is as deep as the ocean
Was it a drag when you woke up so lonesome?
On your own dear

The fun that you don't really need
Opens you up like books
And pays you a lot to talk
When you don't even know
This scar will fade in time

Coming Home lyrics - the 88

Won't you be good to yourself
Don't you feel like coming home
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home

Blend all your days into weeks
Keep all your thoughts to yourself
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home

Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home

Won't you bring light to my day
Won't you be somebody new
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home

And tell me that you wanna be
With nobody else but me
It'll be good
It'll be like coming home

Because you need a place to stay
And I've been feeling dead since you went away
You better believe what I tell you cuz you're coming home

But oh, it's not a joke
It's got a butler, and a maid, and a stove
It's nothing new
It's up to you
And when I feel it
I hope you feel it too
Did you hear it
Yeah I heard it
And I think she's coming home to me

La la la la la la la...

You Belong To Me lyrics - The 88

I treat it like a high school dance
Waiting in the wings for my big chance
But I would only stare at my shoes
You belong to me I belong to you

I could tell an antique lie
Full of all the things I want to hide
But that would only lead to the truth
You belong to me I belong to you

But I'm lazy and I'll pull you down
Where you won't want to be
And I'm tasting what's pouring out of you
What am I supposed to do?

I could play a trick so strange
Cover up my ears and pray for rain
But that would only give you the blues
You belong to me I belong to you

Haunt You lyrics - the 88

I got a lot of something you ought to try
I'm gonna haunt you for the rest of your life
I got a lot of catching up left to do
Just for me and for you

At the heart of something I wanna say
I'm gonna haunt you for the rest of your days
I got a lot of things that I'm gonna prove
Just for me and for you

Rollin and a reelin with your friends down the stairs
Knockin on the ceiling just to see if I'm there
When you see me bleeding don't you know that I care

I got a lot of something you oughta be
I'm gonna haunt you till you want me to leave
I got a lot things that I'm gonna do
Just for me and for you

Jesus Is Good lyrics - The 88



Reading bones in a record
Silly tunes break
Hoping to shake
Out of bounds up and down pick a cliche

Any thought is a lesson
Beating 'em through
Eating time too
Smoking crack in the back waiting for you

Feet slide and heat slide and breeze before me
Making trouble out of junk
Feet slide and heat slide and singing sorry
Staying home just like a monk

But jesus is good
The angels all screamed he could
But I'm waiting here just to leave
All this life's just too much to believe

Making art like a beggar
Looking for crumbs
Asking for some
Easing out your teasing mouth you sit back and hum

Getting high off a record
Laying back too
Hoping to prove
On the phones easy moans all in the grooves

Everybody Loves Me lyrics - The 88

Everybody loves me but me ooh ooh ooh ooh eee
Feel so big but then I'm small
Wrote the writing on the wall
And I'm just looking out for me

Everybody needs me but me ooh ooh ooh ooh eee
I got the big old fashioned head
I can't believe what It just said
And it's just looking out for me

But when my heart was good I knew I had it coming
My love was long and sick and tired of running
And i'd get hot just thinking about my dreams

Feeling hazy like tired and lazy like
Anybody can
Feel the need to know where I need to go
There's gotta be a plan
Now I'm older too and all I wanna do
All I need to know
Does it got to be so slow

Someone to say hey you're o.k. see

Not Enough lyrics - The 88

Got a new revelation
Wrote on the wall
Ya I got a new inspiration
Watching you fall

I put a hole in your pocket
That you never saw
Ya I put a hole in your pocket
You never saw

So now you wanna get back all your love
That you say is coming in from above
And you promise that you got a new tune
Well that's not enough

I got a new concentration
Cause you never call
Ya I got a new invitation
Watching you crawl

So now you wanna get back all your love
That you say is coming in from above
And you promise that you got a new tune
But you never even know what to do

What's the point of talking if that's not enough

All The Same lyrics - The 88

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly

I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long as you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
I's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Afterlife lyrics - The 88

Honey I don’t think it’s funny
Where is all the money I need you to save me
Don’t be how’s the dope below me
Take it out to show me
Dying just to throw me
Downcast whiplash and down in the stall
You’ll believe me
Baby I need hope to save me
Tell me I’m not crazy I know that it’s sold
It’s very soon very soon
Afterlife I saw big
Things and they were coming for me
And tar in tile life Afterlife

Elbow Blues lyrics - The 88

Clean your life away under the God
Mama the gun papa the gun
And those sea racing sidewalk genes splicing in the midday sun
Chasing the one
Tell your friends today
Show em your mop
Everything’s good, everything’s good
And those mad raving deportees rotting in the midday sun
Chasing the one
Elbow blues take your pill
Today under the sun and tell it to stop, tell it to stop
And those sound slaving amputees
Crawling in the midday sun
Chasing the one
Elbow blues
Each time we go
It’s like we know
It’s not the end

How Good It Can Be lyrics - The 88

With the cops on your lips it's a holy routine
If you'd stop all your trips you could see what I mean
I forgot not to slip 'bout you're under 18
You had it in your hands, had it in your hands
You had it in your hands, had it in your hands
your hands, oh oh hoo

Leave it up to me
It's a known disease
Keep it in your fleece
Don't worry about the custom police, don't
I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer

But you got no relief from the pain in your head
And it's hollow and greased and it says that you're dead
But you make fun and tease and the things that you said
They always stab your back, always stab your back...
They always stab your back, always stab your back
Your back, oh ho hoo

Leave it up to me
It's a known disease
Keep it in your fleece
Don't worry about the custom police, don't
I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer

They always stab your back, always stab your back...
They always stab your back, always stab your back
Your back, ouh ho hoo

Leave it up to me
It's a known disease
Keep it in your fleece
Don't worry about the custom police, don't
I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer

But you got no relief from the pain in your head
And it's hollow and greased and it says that you're dead
But you make fun and tease and the things that you said
They always stab your back, always stab your back...
They always stab your back, always stab your back
Your back

Leave it up to me
It's a known disease
Keep it in your fleece
Don't worry about the custom police, don't
I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer

Leave it up to me
It's a known disease
Keep it in your fleece
Don't worry about the custom police, don't
I'll tell you just how good it can be, this lazy summer

But you got no relief from the pain in your head
And it's hollow and greased and it says that you're dead
But you make fun and tease and the things that you said
They always stab your back, always stab your back...
They always stab your back, always stab your back
Your back

Leave it up to me
It's a known disease
Keep it in your fleece
Don't worry about the custom police, don't
I'll tell you just how good it can be
And I've been holding out for love ever since I had a heart

Kind Of Light lyrics - The 88

Your cry seat
Has the smell of a whore
It might seem
Never fun anymore
Call up your thief
He knows the score
He lies believe
It’s funny honey
It’s a good night
For a crime in the dark
You saw light
Has the power to spark
I know you saw the kind of light
You had to find
The funny honey
Your siamese twin has gone to your head
The shining
Left a glow and you’re dead
We say you ain’t done
I don’t fade a won
It’s so lonely
I could see you were there
You tongue me
In the heart of your care
I know it’s the same as it was
But you go and it’s only because

No Use Left For Me lyrics - The 88

Bleeding from your head
You should pull it out instead
No one comes to see
Failing from the start
Taking every scene apart
Loathing life and me

And everybody thinks I’m gone for good
But I believe I know my head
Breaking up the cop
Begging everyone to stop
Holding lines for free
And everybody thinks you’re gone for good
But I believe I know you’re head
Did you hear about Ryan and his broken head

Did you learn about your fashion layin on your bed
We had time
Stocked and barreled find
You have no use left for me
Yes and you find you have no use left for me
Every little plan
Well it’s waving like a hand
Now too far to see
And everybody thinks we’re
Gone for good
But I believe I know our head
Did you run across Richard with a hand that
Could did you race ‘round bleedin like you said you would
Yeah we had time
Stocked and barreled find
You have no use left for me
Yes and you find you have no use left for me

God Is Coming lyrics - The 88

Well God is coming
To break your heart and to show you up
Yeah and I was just druggin
To let me know all about the ups
Yeah and I’ll be believin
The itty second that he comes
And I’ll be a big boy
As soon as I can figure out
And I will be huggin
All tied around your mouth
Try I gotta heart that’s blue
It’s a glad to meet you
Sigh I got the hand write too
And I’ll be glad to see you off
Everything I own I know it’s there
All the things I ever had to care
Fallin at my feet like lead
Fillin out the sheets instead
When I was a keeping
I knew just how I would pull it up
Yeah and I was believin
All the things that I had made up
Yeah and I was just growing
All big enough to walk
Yeah but I was the big one
Chasin all that I ever saw

Hate Me lyrics - The 88

Thank God you’re an open book
Thank God you’re a scam
Thank God you’re a runaway
Thank God for your man
I’m giving thanks that you’re old enough to hate me
Thank God you’re a throw away
Thank God for your fans
Thank God you’re cryin meat
And thank God that you’re damned
I’m giving thanks that you’re old enough to hate me
We could run away
Thank God for your heaven hook
Thank God you’re a dream
Thank God for the cancer beat
Thank God you’re a scheme
I’m giving thanks that you’re old enough to hate me
We could run away

I'm A Man lyrics - The 88

It’s life like mine
It’s a dope-sick play
It’s a blue-faced find

Gonna die today
It’s a plastic heaven
It’s the all white tan
I’m a man
It’s a black tooth mess

It’s the acne scar
It’s a sharp tool blessed
It’s that VCR
It’s a counterfeit vision

It’s a half-ass scam
I’m a man
Break me down easy
Show me your sign
Take me back home

I know I’ll be fine
Trace me your outline
Tie me to bed
Shake me to heaven

Soon we’ll be dead
It’s a cold gray lie
It’s a brain dead itch
It’s the constant sigh

It’s supposed to stick
It’s the tantric tension
It’s a well-made plan
I’m a man

It’s a pawnshop dream
It’s those bathroom blues
It’s a frightened scream
It’s the Purcell shoes

It’s a phony decision
It’s a half-assed scam
I’m a man

Melting In The Sun lyrics - the 88


Melting in the sun
She was undone
Bringing sheets for hats

Sensing I was small
I became tall
Swinging meats and bats
Doesn’t it seem

We broke it off too soon
Doesn’t it seem
We know the stalling tune
Running out the back

Dashing for crack
Keeping Christ below
Sensing I was done
I became one

Freezing, iced, and slow
It’s not enough
And when I’m up
It’s not enough
But now I know
It’s only me

Sunday Afternoon lyrics - The 88



I don’t know
I think it just depends
I’m on the high and flyin morning

It’s just a Sunday afternoon
I’m feeling God and I believe him
I don’t know

I think it’s just the pills
I’m on the high and flyin morning
It’s just a Sunday afternoon

I’m feeling God and I believe him
When all of your prostitutes are gone
It’ll all be clear

When all of your anibuse is gone
Well I’ll still be here

Fire up all the bad luck that you knew
Because it seems like something’s got to give

Something Had Me Good lyrics - The 88

Back when I was skin and bones
I looked up I wasn’t alone

But I was the one
And I was getting it done
But something had me good

Back when I was ma and pa
I knew with them I held up my guard
But I was engaged

And I would sit in the cage
But something had me good
Look like a woman

And feeling like a kid
Most asking something yeah
But something had to give
I knew your baby

I held it in my hand
And I knew that maybe
I might have a plan
Back when I was on the top

I had a big fat gob of your heart
Yeah but I was the one
And I was getting it done

But something had me good
Back when I was skin and bones
I looked up I wasn’t alone

But I was engaged
And would sit in a cage
Yeah but something had me good

I knew your baby
I held it in my hand
And most said that maybe
Yeah but I was a summoned man

I held the coffin
And I held the breaks
And I knew that maybe
Something had to take

Hard To Be You lyrics - the 88 lyrics

Day two made you
I could hear the sign
Fall down way down

I would never lie
I know it’s hard to be you
Dust and the high that you knew

Giving you hope from the sign
I know everything’s fine
Give me something I don’t ever own

Look down way down
I can hear the moan
I know it’s hard to be you

Dust and the high that you knew
Leaving you hope from the sun
I know everything’s fine

Got no life
Wait for voice to realize my mind
Break out make out

Everything is mine
I know it’s hard to be me

Drug from the line in the sea
Doesn’t it offer the
Doesn’t it offer the

I know everything’s changed
