Supersede

American Myth专辑

  • Supersede


    Cookie cried for three days, until she couldn’t cry no more

    she ate the fridge, jumped the bridge and wound up bloated on the shore

    The children they all pointed at another painted score

    and somebody asked: “can I take a picture?”



    Well the heat down here is brutal, it’s hard to do what’s right

    the locals shout that you won’t burn out if you don’t ever shine too bright

    and I wish I was in your back pocket or in your bed tonight

    I wish that i was loud so you could hear me



    but oh, no

    what else must I be?

    it’s all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me

    that I need you, honey I need you

    there ain’t nobody who could supersede you

    we’re not such strangers, so honey I need you right now



    Now all the streets are paved with petals, the parade is coming through

    it kind of feels like royalty cause’ everyone’s in blue

    and yellow flowers falling, from a window too

    falling to the feet of such a coward



    The mayor is kissing babies, he’s almost way too kind

    we’re filled to the brim with honest men, they’re just way too hard to find

    so stare into his Public Eyes and watch his clock unwind

    then find him old and drowning in the deep end



    but oh, now

    what else must I see?

    It’s all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me

    that I need you, honey I need you

    there ain’t nobody who could supersede you

    we’re not such strangers so honey i need you right now



    You see, I long for a hickory morning with a waltz and trumpet flare

    i’m doing my best to recover from what time cannot repair

    and i’m sick of all this solitude and pre-rehearsed despair

    my eyes are a hundred miles away from sleeping



    Well I wish you’d write a letter, or telephone to me

    this place is dark and there ain’t a spark of who I used to be

    so the sick hearts of the unloved tell the brave souls of the sea:

    “we’re all closed up, why don’t you come back when we’re open.”



    but oh, no

    what else must I be?

    it’s all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me

    that I need you, honey I need you

    there ain’t nobody who could supersede you

    we’re not such strangers so honey I need you right now



    There’s a cracked and pale mirror, hanging on my wall

    the church bell rings and the choir sings and I can hear it from the hall

    Now you might not believe it, but there was no fire at all

    we just danced for seven days wishing for water



    Maria tells the fortunes, they line around the bend

    a dollar for your problems, and five to know the end

    They come from miles around; like a pack of howling men

    I wonder what she does with all that money



    but oh, now

    what else must i be?

    it’s all inside my head i guess, but it just reminds me

    that I need you, honey I need you

    there ain’t nobody who could supersede you

    we’re not such strangers, so honey I need you right now



    Simple sidewalk painter, says his life is such a bore

    spends his time with a jug of wine and a palette on the floor

    he screams: “Heaven! Take my eyes, cause I can’t paint no more.”

    Honey, sometimes I feel just like his colors



    I’m gonna go down to the ocean, I want to fill my boots with sand

    so the next time that you see me, I’ll be a much more grounded man

    So go and do whatever it is you do and I’ll do what I can

    and when we meet again you can try to know me



    oh hey,

    what else must I be?

    it’s all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me

    that I need you, honey I need you

    there ain’t nobody who could supersede you

    we’re not such strangers so honey I need you right now



    they call me pessimistic, but it occured to me

    that babies are all born crying and dying is never free

    But I still can’t shake that feeling, that Somebody’s watching me....

    I just thought that I would tell you
