Run it into the ground Sew my mouth shut and tell me to spit you out I can’t keep letting you down But I’ll try Coming out of the woodwork and my Hands shaking in this dirt and I I can’t keep drowning you out Cuz I’m dry Run it into the ground Sew my mouth shut and tell me to spit you out I can’t keep letting you down But I’ll try There’s a particular brand of impossible man And his band is a fandango to fall apart to I know a bird in the hand is worth the word of this man Cuz he knows a little something about what dyin' hearts do Run it into the ground Sew my mouth shut and tell me to spit you out I can’t keep letting you down But I’ll try

L.A. would be great if I could get to work on time I’d be always indisposed by all that damn sunshine And I’d sure like to love you in another state of mind It's not like my kind Don’t put me on a bus don't throw me on a train Don't toss me out to sea you barely know my name Don't make me put up fights don't make me play your game Don't tell me if I'm right I'lll probably never change. Italy, now she’s for me, she never makes a fuss Another bowl, hello every old soul all in among the dust True I'm overused but I’m still new I need some time to rust Don’t put me on a bus don't throw me on a train Don't toss me out to sea you barely know my name Don't make me put up fights don't make me play your game Don't tell me if I'm right I'lll probably never change.. Small towns mostly bring me down but they got a lot to say Mostly bluffs I would like to huff if I could only find a way Warm when I was there but unprepared to ever have to leave Be a loose thread to such a tight weave Don’t put me on a bus don't throw me on a train Don't toss me out to sea you barely know my name Don't make me put up fights don't make me play your game Don't tell me if I'm right I'lll probably never change.

Take me walkin' downtown Under the tracks and lets just get flooded We're too moonlit for this town The architecture lectures us, we're not tall enough now His fiddle is me The fire is burning Rome But nobody's home Say we're both safe and sound And drink it down that we just might go nowhere But as they send in the hounds Cash in the empties cuz that's all we've left of ourselves His fiddle is me The fire is burning Rome But nobody's home Note for note and in time Cut and paste us like a pair of paper dolls Turning ours into mine One last time to knock the plaster of the neighbourhood walls His fiddle is me The fire is burning Rome But nobody's home

I’ve been in the wreckage but I know all the cool kids She plays it with a bow cuz she didn’t know that everybody else did When you gonna come, when you gonna come, when are you gonna come down We don’t hang around, we don’t hang around this town She’s not a problem drinker and I figure she just thinks of it as research I don’t know how to stand there with my heart there in my hand as if it hadn’t hit my head first Feelin like you won, feelin like you won, feeiln like you won some So I tell myself I’m done, tell myself I’m done, I don’t need a last one So we’re gonna have another gonna drink one for your mother Gonna say that there’s no other like me I know it still rings true for you but I like my road a little bumpy So we light one more out the back door cuz they all know us around here It’s always the same and do you think it’s gonna change, when you disappear? He commands a crowd but if it’s anything but loud we’re gonna hear all about it tonight His woman works the room and she’s singin out of tune but it’s alright, its alright I’ve seen us in the movies and the way we like to Screw with all the best lines I can hear you say you’ll save up for a rainy day when Babe it’s been pouring all this time So we’re gonna have another gonna drink one for your mother Gonna say that there’s no other like me I know it still rings true for you but I like my road a little bumpy So we light one more out the back door cuz they all know us around here It’s always the same and do you think it’s gonna change, when you disappear? Hey says I dropped the pick on purpose baby start me if you’ve heard this one Its rough its still unfinished Says I’m not gonna lie I’ve had to sever ties I’m no above the misery I just wish it looked good on me Now you’re holding out the longest cuz nostalgia’s at its strongest When you’re the last to go to bed Dreamin of a time from before I was alive But I can be there in my head So we’re gonna have another and get hit on by your brother Gonna say I’ve had my share of this scene I know it still rings true for you and I wish I could say the same about me So we fight once more, out the back door, it was a drunken old game of spoons It’s always the same and do you think we’ll ever change under any but a full moon? Its always the same and do you think its gonna change on this harvest moon? I caught you knockin at my back door, I love you baby I can’t take no more I caught you knockin at my back door, I love you baby I can’t take no more
