He came up north from the South with a pocket full of green
He sunk his fangs to the black made it bite like a machine
And he gives it all away
And he takes it all away
He filled his coffers with the blood and he sung the praise of greed
And now we’re bathing in the sheen while we choke on that disease
And he gives it all away
And he takes it all away
You ain’t a lumberjack, man, and your mouth is making us sick
You ain’t a lumberjack you’re just a vampire son of a bitch
He goes off deep in the wild, hear him howling at the moon
Dripping in the fog, snatching bodies,
laying down, digging through
He gives it all away
And he takes it all away
Now if you walk through the streets, see the signs beside the graves
They’re etched by revenants in the night,
making deals in darker shades
Because they give it all away
When they take it all away
You ain’t a lumberjack, man, and your mouth is making us sick
You ain’t a lumberjack you’re just a vampire son of a bitch

Expect it all to come crashing down
as sure as the sun will always glow
Lay those pieces brick by brick
the mortar is porous, now you know
Building walls up just to break them down
Trippin’ on the cracks in the pavement
make it out while you still can
Maybe you’d make it, yeah maybe you’d make it, if you ran
Keep waiting it out
You don’t know what it’s about
The game still looks the same
Someday you’ll lick the wounds of fame
Inside those walls you couldn’t hear a sound
They see you now for whom you really are
Know you know you’d be had in an instant
But if you’re lucky, yeah if you’re lucky, you’ll make it home
Keep waiting it out
You don’t know what it’s about
The game still looks the same
Someday you’ll lick the wounds of fame

You were excited
when you recited
I love you today
Not to tomorrow
when you came
to my place
I miss your face
Stay with me
(Vocal Harmonies)
When you came
to my house
you were just acting
like a mouse
you came and you went
just so too fast
I wish that
You weren’t so loud
I miss you dearly
watch your step
I miss you softly
In my sleep
I didn’t care anyway
(Vocal Harmonies)

Quit

Paint you blue in black and white
Write your name in cigarette light
Cut the night shine into short lines
Shake this, I know that candy ain’t mine
And I know I should quit this
I know I should quit this
From what you say, these nerves will burn in two days
From what I read, in two weeks I’ll be sane
Breathing, not shaking, scratching
Breathing, until we have another play
And I know I should quit this
I know I know I should quit this
I know this
Tonight my mind’s a lightning storm
The fire I’m breathing’s taking form
And this may pass before I’m old
But not before I’m torn
Hear your voice in black and white
See you fade beneath a streetlight
Put this out, it’s flaming too bright
Forget this, no, fuck this, we know that shit
ain’t right
And I know I should quit this
I know, I know I should quit this
I know this
Tonight my mind’s a lightning storm
The fire I breathe is taking form
And this may pass before I’m old
But not before I’m torn

Grow Up

Those rays are glowin’
And you wake up knowin’
That today might be the day,
yeah to today might be the day
The grass is growin’
And the leaves are showin’
That fall is on its way
Yeah the fall is on its way
Grow up now
Its time to show up now
Grow up now
The wind is blowin’
The waves are crashing
This day may pass you by
Yeah today might pass you by
A water’s risin’
The storm is prowling
Is that rain gonna stay away?
Will that raincloud stay away?
Grow up now
Its time to show up now
Grow up now
At times you miss the times that never were
But you know you’ll find them someday
At times you miss the times that never were
But you know you’ll find them someday
Grow up now
Its time to show up now
Grow up now
