Withered Hand - Wonderful Lie şarkı sözleri

Sanatçı: Withered Hand

albüm: Inbetweens


I came to your house with big holes in my trousers
We'd sit on your bed when your father allowed us
To speak, and he spoke to me
But my physiognomy
Gave me away every time
I was losing my mind in my Ps and Qs
I've seen you undressing
I'm nodding my head but I'm done second-guessing
In my mind's eye
I don't mind
I've seen you like this a million times
And they're half-asleep by their oversized TVs
Under porcelain animals and children with degrees
And they talk about whisky and their cod life philosophies
Their phony bonhomie makes me feel uneasy
They say "we used to know someone
Who used to know someone who used to sing in a band"
Well you're breaking my hand when you shake it sir
Do you think that it makes you sir
Feel like you are more of a man?
I don't understand
Is my procrastination a cause or effect?
And my guess is this flesh is too weak to respect
The will, oh well
No highway to hell
But it runs between row upon row of identical houses;
If there is a God tell me how he allowed this to go by
In my mind's eye
I've seen you like this a million times
I sink two cans of Rockstar to your one can of Red Bull
You say "it's three quarters empty"
And I say "no, it's a quarter full"
You say "touche
If you're so smart hey
How come I feel so ugly when you say I'm beautiful?"
Save me from temptation
And deliver me from inadequacy
Let me show love to those who are unkind to me
As yours is the way and the power and the glory
Well dress like a whore and pretend to ignore me
Cause I like that
Oh yeah I don't mind
I've seen you like this a million times
Sole deo gloria
Sole deo gloria
I'm so tired of fighting to make myself heard
One day I'll be singing this song
And you'll be hanging on my words
Well, we all get where we're going eventually
This used to be a holy day;
Put your head in my lap
It's a wonderful lie
And I'm singing to you
From the back of the room
I see you turn your face away
