City & Colour

City & Colour - The Death Of Me:



Link:


Lyrics:

Do I have nothing good left to say?
Do I need whiskey to start fueling my complaints?
People love to drink their troubles away.
Sometimes I feel that I'd be better off that way.

'Cause maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.
I know, I know.

So here's to living life miserable.
And here's to all the lonely stories that I've told.
Maybe drinking wine will validate my sorrow.
Every man needs a muse and mine could be the bottle.

Maybe then I could sleep at night.
I wouldn't lie awake until the morning light.
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me, I know.

Finally, I could hope for a better day.
No longer holding on to all the things that cloud my mind.
Maybe then the weight of the world wouldn't seem so heavy.
But then again I'll probably always feel this way.

At least I know I'll never sleep at night. (Sleep at night)
I'll always lie awake until the morning light. (Til the morning light)
This is something that I'll never control.
My nerves will be the death of me.
My nerves will be the death of me.

My nerves will be the death of me, I know.

Lyrics:

When the rooks were laid in the piles
By the sides of the road,
They were crashing into the aerials,
Hanging from the laundry lines.
And, gathered in a field,
They were burned in a feathering pyre,
With their cold, black eyes.

When the swallows fell from the eaves,
And the gulls from the spires,
The starlings, in millions,
Would feed on the ground where they lie.
And the ambulance men said
"There's nowhere to flee for your life,"
So we stay inside,
And we'll sleep until the world of man is paralyzed.

Oh, the falconer awakes to the sound of the bells.
Overhead, and northbound,
They are leaving his life.
And each empty cage just rings in his heart
Like a bell,
Underneath these cold stars,
In their trembling light.
And he cries
"Amen, let their kingdom come tonight.
Let this dream be realized."

Lyrics:

Ah the lengthening hours in the refinery
Belching fire into the sky
We do our best vampire routines
As we suck the dying hours dry
The night is lovely as a rose
If I see sunlight hit you
I am sure that we'll both decompose

Ah the fitful sleep and the fire engines
That I dream of when I dream
Some day we'll both wake up for good
I will try hard not to scream
The evening wind will shake the blinds
You're stirring from your slumber
We've got something hateful on our minds

Oh sing sing sing
For the dying of the day
Sing for the flames that will rip through here
And the smoke that will carry us away
Yeah sing for the damage we've done
And the worse things that we'll do
Open your mouth up and sing for me now
And I will sing for you

Lyrics:

Harlan’s papa wouldn’t stay in the ground
Dead and buried and he walked into town
Lord God, what is Ma to do?

Mama’s so mad cause he muddied up his suit
Caught in a thorn bush, blowin' on a flute
Lord God, what is Ma to do?

12456789Thousand,
Everybody calm down please stop shouting
Go on the run call 911
Calm down, calm down, calm down

12456789Thousand
(Fire, Fire at the pageant)
Would everybody calm down please stop shouting
Go on the run call 911
Calm down, calm down, calm down

If he did drive into town
Everyone would stand around, and stare
Harlan’s girl would catch a glimpse
In the mirror as she crimps her hair

Harlan’s papa wouldn’t stay in the ground
Dead and buried and he walked into town
Lord god what is Ma to do?

Mama’s so mad ’cause she can’t scare him off
Even if she’s wrapped in a table cloth
Oh Lord what is Ma to do

12456789Thousand (Fire, Fire at the pageant)
Would everybody calm down please stop shouting
Go on the run call 911
Calm down, calm down, calm down

12456789Thousand (Fire, Fire at the pageant)
Would everybody calm down please stop shouting
Go on the run call 911
Calm down, calm down, calm down

12456789Thousand (Fire, Fire at the pageant)
Would everybody calm down please stop shouting
Go on the run call 911
Calm down, calm down, calm down
