oh dear, what can the matter be?
god save us all.
These hammers and strings been following me around From a box filled garage To the dark punk rock clubs of 1000 American towns And my friend calls me up She says, "How have you been" I say, "Dear I've been well Yeah The money's coming but I miss you like hell I still hear you in this old piano Yeah" She says, "Andy I know that we don't talk as much But I still hear your ghost in these old punk rock clubs Come on Write me a song Give me something to trust Just promise you won't let it be just the keys that you touch" Give me something to believe in
A breath from the breathing
So write it down
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming so what's the point in sleeping
It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide
So I write you a lullaby
A lullaby These hammers and strings been following me around Behind passenger vans Through the snow Dirt and sands of 1000 American towns And my friend calls me up with her heart heavy still She says, "Andy the doctors prescribed me the pills But I know I'm not crazy I just lost my will So why am I Why am I taking them still" I need something to believe in
A breath from the breathing
So write it down
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming so what's the point in sleeping
It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide
To the sleepless
This is my reply
I will write you a lullaby
A lullaby
The boys who kiss and bite They are the brilliant ones who speak and write with silver luck... They sing in clever tongues Oh how my knees go weak to be the one She kicks and bucks Always quick to follow The boys are too refined Won't matter tomorrow Oh, to be in his mind And if the timing is right to sneak off into the night I'll let myself be taken just for the thrill And if I'm given the chance to be a doll in his hands I will be sure we shake the mountains while we dance To daddy singing sweet, a lullaby to all his credit speak, his golden light To the edge with a car, he sent it off a cliff just for the spark To hell with why. The Boys Are Too Refined, The Hush Sound
