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
