about
I don’t want to do anymore angry or sad songs this year. Maybe the season’s making me sappy, but I’m just getting sick of indulging my emo side. This should be the last of the loud rage rockers for the year, so enjoy it, if that’s your thing.
The lyric’s a little convoluted, but the story’s pretty straight forward: I’ve been arguing with this conservative Christian friend of mine of late and I’ve started daydreaming about him being a serial killer. All fanaticism starts to sound the same after a while.
I tried to experiment more with simplicity this week, breaking down a lot of elements and avoiding the desire to dress the hussy up in any finery. The result is pretty dirty, but, by now, I think you’ve come to realize I kinda dig that sort of thing.
lyrics
I wanted something.
I wanted something to believe.
So I start my dig at the top of the spine.
We’re gonna work on up, gonna see what we fine.
I needed something.
I needed something for relief.
You got a stock car mouth and it’s out of control.
You’ve gone a too far now, you shakin teeth with the road.
A little something.
A little sun coming over me.
I got my head so light, it’s a part of the sky
And I forget your name, but you were very polite
Oh,
And what you need is a sign.
When you look at the light
Say you ever believe.
Oh,
Losing track of the time.
Waking up in the night.
Feel a terrible thing.
I needed something.
A little sun coming over me.
And I get so hot - it’s a bothersome thing.
I need a quick release, need a something to breath.
And there’s a nothing.
There’s a nothing I believe
But a one good word that I managed to save.
He put the word in me and he told me, “behave.”
Oh,
And what you need is a sign.
When you look at the light
Say you ever believe.
Oh,
Losing track of the time.
Waking up in the night.
Feel a terrible thing.
A little sin.
