Go On By 03:07
Gettin' high in a 442 All I can think about, think about is you I sit on you porch, waiting for hour With a half beaten tux and fistful of flowers Go on by, Go on by But don't look back To look at me I remember that day, When I seen your face Sitting on the wooden bleachers at the dirt track When you heard those engines scream and it made you smile Life then was living a dream and it was all worthwhile I'm sitting here getting pissed I can see the rain coming down kind of like a mist, I never felt the same I can see the rain coming through the clouds I can't remember when my love spoke so loud
2.
You can hold me up and kill me just so you know I won You just try and take me away for the sun as we run through the night It's where we've been hiding from the light I don't even know the States away from me, only the ones that touch I just want you to know I don't miss it much as we run through the night It's where we've been hiding from the light It's where we've been hiding It's where we've been
3.
The Eastern sky bores me The Western sky ignores me If you don't like where you're from You can run away from boredom How did I get this far in the first place How did I get lying to your face I can't believe it, I can't believe it I can't believe it This Holy War is mercy If we all don't die we'll be lucky So feel yourself for the last time And know your heart and touch mine And there's so much love to feel
4.
The Narrator 02:56
It's o.k. dear - there's a hole in my head It's leaving me upset It's wondering how you got away from me It's lying, It's lying It's all Hell here God's burning me He's not listening He's wondering how I got away from him He was lying, He was lying If you think that we wouldn't fight Then staying with you girl might be alright I told you that peace was true But I never really knew I'm wondering how I got away from you I was lying, I was lying.
5.
You can light it up, and we’ll drive fast And only see what lies haunt me This ain’t you, and the sunlight Death will get you if you think this through. You want so many hearts And you take them all to your bed And the stories. I had a dream I am hoping, life will be loving for you And all of us I will not take you where you don't want to
6.
Whats the thing about too much love that's got me all tied up When you go around cutting' on everyone's heart After a while it tears you apart I know we'll never be the same again I wish all of us could be friends All we want to do is get high and dream When we close our eyes Just lay down and breathe She's a girl that just won't leave She loves me too much If she goes she might take me I didn't want this before I don't want this anymore
7.
Nobody knew the storm was coming, They just drowned But it feels like nothing when you're out of love But you are him, and I ain't me I didn't mean to sleep all night, I just did It's a night I'm never going to tell her goodnight It's summer time the suns going down and my hearts dead It's a night I'm never going to remember, my life Who is this for?
8.
Sing hallelujah to the stars And by the morning everything will be ours It's alright if we die tonight and run into the light It's alright when we lie; when we steal; when we kill; when we die I had nothing to say, I went home and slept all day Goddamn friends and callers my heads full of cobwebs We want everything to be alright When you want everything to be alright I don't
9.
I'm like the moon inside you I'm like lightning in the morning time I'm afraid that we'll go so far And I will still be here And no one knows when you're lonely She steals you heart again Fucks it up and puts it back in She don't love you She don't care for you I never wanted to be anybody Always wanted to be myself One thing I've always wanted To burn in Hell with everyone else Everybody wants me dead
10.
Hate town burning in the air You can't find love anywhere And if you would knock and ask for my heart You might find it's already gone Hate town burning in the air Please momma show me that you care All my friends always fucking swear But they're never even there Hate town I'm already dead Did you hear what I just said Can you feel my heart beat When we walk up and down the street
