My Morphine - Lyrics - Gillian Welch

Title: My Morphine
Artist: Gillian Welch
Composer(s): Gillian Howard Welch, David Todd Rawlings

Lyric:
I looked around and all up and down
I never wasted time on two or three
There's only one girl for me

And there was a time she used to treat me fine
But lately she's been acting awful stoned
Makes a man weep alone

Eye dee oh lay ee tee
Eye dee leeldle odle ay oo ee tee
Eye dee oh lee tee
Lee tee
Deedle ohdle lee tee
My morphine be the death of me

You should have seen me and my morphine
When we used to go dancing in the war
Spin me right off the floor

Eye dee oh lay ee tee
Eye dee leeldle odle ee odle ee tee
Eye dee odle ee tee
Lee tee
Deedle odle lee tee
My morphine be the death of me

Morphine, morphine
What made you so mean?
You never used to do me like you do
Where's that sweet gal I knew?

Eye dee leedle odle ay odle ay tee
Eye dee oh lay tee

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Here I lie in my hospital bed
Tell me, Sister Morphine, when are you coming round again?
Oh, and I don't think I can wait that long
Oh, you see that I'm not that strong

The scream of the ambulance is sounding in my ear
Tell me, Sister Morphine, how long have I been lying here?
What am I doing in this place?, Why does the doctor have no face?
Oh, I can't crawl across the floor
Can't you see?, Sister Morphine, I'm just trying to score

Well, it just goes to show things are not what they seem
Please, Sister Morphine, turn my nightmare into dreams
Oh, can't you see I'm fading fast
And that this shot will be the last

Sweet, Cousin Cocaine, lay your cool hands on my head
Hey, Sister Morphine, you'd better make up my bed
'Cause you know and I know in the morning I'll be dead
And you can sit around and you can watch
All the clean white sheets stain red

I want a girl with lips like morphine
Knock me out every time they touch me
I wanna feel a kiss just crush me
And break me down

Knock me out, knock me out
Knock me out, knock me out
'Cause I've waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight

I want a girl with lips like morphine
Blow a kiss that leaves me gasping
And I wanna feel that lightning strike me
And burn me down

Knock me out, knock me out
Knock me out, knock me out
'Cause I've waited for all my life
To be here with you tonight
Just put me on my back, knock me out again

I want a girl with lips like morphine
Knock me out every time they touch me
I want a girl with lips like morphine

See I've waited for all my life

Silver - Lyrics - Silver - Moist

Composer(s): Kevin Young, Mark Makowy, Jeff Pearce, David Usher

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
Close your eyes, your Christ has come
The crippled boy that you once knew
The charmed enigma chosen one
With painted lips, skin ripped and torn

Come touch and feel and lick and smell
This envy that I've worn so well
Everybody wants, everybody says
Everybody begs in time

So drink me in like tainted wine
Come bite down on my sharpened cup
And taste the dreams that numb the mind
A simple word, a harmless glare

That binds me with the thinnest thread
And pins me down to pleasure's bed
Everybody wants, everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver

Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my chest
We are silver

So shy and poised with few regrets
A Judas kill, a complex thrill
A memory I won't soon forget
Been washed out clean till all runs dry

Come touch and feel and lick and smell
A hurt that only you could sell
Everybody wants, everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver

Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to my breast
We are silver

Trip, sister I will follow you
This time knowing I will follow you
Everybody wants, everybody says
Everybody begs in time

And you will be the first to fall
Every feeling will dissolve
We are silver

Morphine baby's final breath
Ever smothered to your breast
We are silver

Silver

The Way We Met - Lyrics - Morphine

Title: The Way We Met
Artist: Morphine
Composer(s): Mark Sandman

Lyric:
No there's nothing too romantic about the way we met
That's not to say, it doesn't make a certain sense
Maybe it's just the kind of people that we are
That's not to say whether it's right or wrong
It's not right or wrong, it's not right or wrong

There's no cute story that we tell together
Laughing and finishing each other's sentences so charmingly
Truth is it was all an accident
Just like it is for everybody else
But then again it was all and accident
Just like the way it is for everybody else

Later we had toast, took turns sitting on the windowsill
Like two fields of wheat
We'll sent signals cross the kitchen sharp and sweet

There's no cute story about the way we met
We just woke up one day in bed
Shouted out for alarm clocks
Where's the remote control?
Put the blankets and the chairs against the windows and doors
And stayed close together, trying to stay warm, oh

Now there's nothing too romantic about the way we met
That's not to say it doesn't make a certain sense
Maybe it's just the kind of people that we are
It's gone to far to be right or wrong
Now, now, now, now

{AdsenseCode:2D080010-7055-443A-8D12-2B79DDC71256}

Lyric:
She had black hair
Like ravens crawling over her shoulders
All the way down

She had a smile that swerved
She had a smile that curved
She had a smile that swerved all over the road

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong

She had a way of making people
Feel good to be around her
As it should be

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong

And when she laughs I travel back in time
Something flips the switch
And I collapse inside

It's all wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong, all wrong
All wrong

Souvenir - Lyrics - Morphine

Title: Souvenir
Artist: Morphine
Composer(s): Mark Sandman

Lyric:
I remember meeting you, we were super low
Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones
And I remember being this close, but never alone
You gave me a little something to take home
I dropped it on the floor, I dropped it on the floor
Dropped it on the floor, I dropped it

If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key, names hold key
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key, names hold key
Souvenir of nothing

Brought home a souvenir of nothing
It fits into a pocket
A souvenir, a souvenir of nowhere
Somewhere I've never been before
I dropped it on the floor, I dropped it on the floor
Dropped it on the floor, I dropped it

If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key, names hold key
If I can only remember the name that's enough for me
Because names hold the key, names hold key
A souvenir of nothing, a souvenir of nothing

I remember meeting you, we were super low
Surrounded by the sounds of saxophones

Top Floor, Bottom Buzzer - Lyrics - Morphine

Title: Top Floor, Bottom Buzzer
Artist: Morphine
Composer(s): Mark J Sandman

Lyric:
First we'll pick Priscilla up and then we'll stop for Jane
And Mary Ellen needs a ride, we're goin' by her place

We're goin' to a party, our friends will all be there
I got the directions, it's across the river somewhere

We rang the top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work
Ring the one under

Priscilla's in the kitchen, she's mixing drinks
She's mixing one for me, I think
And one for Mary Ellen and one for Jane
Priscilla, she knows how to use a shaker
She doesn't get up as early as a baker, uh-uhn

There's a muchacha, teachin' me to mambo
There's my buddy Pete eyein' a bowl of Combos
Ramona and a man do a tango dip
Cheek to cheek, hip to hip, come on

The window's open, it's the heart of the summer
More people comin' lookin' for the number
Mary Ellen sees them she has a little stutter, she yells

The top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work
Ring the one under, come on, woo

It was later it was after two
We found a bottle of good Chartreuse
The lights were green and gold, we played Latin soul
By the time Priscilla put the Al Green on
The bottle was gone

On the top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work
Ring the one under, come on, woo

Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
Top floor, bottom buzzer
The middle won't work
Ring the one under, come on, woo

The 39th Street Blues (I'M Sick) - Lyrics - Spocks Beard

Title: The 39th Street Blues (I'M Sick)
Artist: Spocks Beard
Composer(s): Neal Morse

Lyric:
Hey Snow White and the Harlem Knight
You make a perfect pair
Skin and bones and a hatchet faced homes
Hey, what you doin' 'round here?

Why don't you come back to Central Park
Or stick around and see why love is art?
Oh yeah

In my sin I've sunk right in
I finally understood
Why all the geeks and the Catholic priests
They love to do us good

Maybe you would like some at my cost
Or maybe you and the white shadow should go get lost?
Oh yeah

'Cause I'm sick of pity and morphine
I'm sick of you runnin' me down
Well, I'm sick but maybe there's something
That can still save me from the depths of this town

One more time I'll speak my mind
Then you'd better go
Before sad Sam and the back door man
Make me wish I'd just said no

I might come to your meeting in the park
But now I've got to work, it's getting dark
Oh yeah

'Cause I'm sick of pity and morphine
I'm sick of you runnin' me down
Well, I'm sick but maybe there's something
That can still save me, that can still save me

Come, you worn out, weak and tired
To this meeting in the dark of the night
And you'll walk in the light
Yes, you'll walk in the light

If you're addicted and afflicted
My name is Snow and I've the gift and the sight
And we'll make it alright
Yes, we'll make it alright

Let me put my hands inside your clothes
Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hands inside your clothes

Cute buttons like pointy little teeth
Oh, don't bite please
Cute buttons like pointy little teeth
Oh, don't bite please

Little red feet with big blue toes
Let me put my hands inside your clothes

Thursday - Lyrics - Morphine

Title: Thursday
Artist: Morphine
Composer(s): Mark J Sandman

Lyric:
We used to meet every Thursday, Thursday
Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple a beers
And a game of pool

We used to go to a motel, a motel
A motel across the street
And the name of the motel
Was the Wagon Wheel, oh

One day, she said, "C'mon, c'mon"
She said, "Why don't you come back to my house?"
She said,"My husband's out of town
You know, he's gone till the end of the month"

Well, I was just so nervous, so nervous
You know, I couldn't really quite relax
'Cause I was never really quite sure
When her husband was coming back

It turned out, one of the neighbors, your one of the neighbors
One of the neighbors that saw my car
And they told her, yeah, they told her
They think, they know who you are

Well, her husband, he is a violent man
A very violent and jealous man
Now I have to leave this town
I gotta leave while I still can

We should have kept it every Thursday, Thursday
Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple of beers
And a game of pool

We should have kept it every Thursday, Thursday
Thursday in the afternoon
For a couple of beers
And a game of pool

She was pretty cool too

I feel lucky, I just feel that way
I'm on a bus to Atlantic City later on today
Now I'm siting at a Blackjack table
And swear to God the dealer has a tag says 'Mabel'
Hit me hit me I smile at Mabel
Soon they're bringing complimentary drinks to the table

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day

Mabel gives me a great big smile
She's getting to know me, she's on my side
I'm a winner and I came to play
Now I know why they say

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day, have a lucky day

Now I'm down a little in fact I'm down a lot
I'm on a roller coaster ride that I can't stop
Yeah my luck has changed but she'll come back
That's the beauty of a game of chance
I can't lose forever but I'm doomed to try
Because I keep on hearing a voice inside

Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day
Players win and winners play
Have a lucky day, have a lucky day

Aah

Got to the driver of my car, an' past the dogs, past the guards
And all of my alarms supposed to be so state of the art
You penetrate my radar, you penetrate my radar
You drop a bomb in my backyard, you penetrate my radar

You played me like a chess game and now you say checkmate
While you go running freely spending money every place
And me I got to hide and I don't dare to show my face
If I am guilty so are you, it was March 4th, 1982

Riding around forever on an empty tank of gas
And an empty pocketbook I better get it to the bank
High up in a glider high up here without a care

I got all the time in the world
I got all the time in the world to spare

Swinging in a line, lined up in the sunshine

Come on swing, a swing from the shoestrings
Right or wrong, to me it's the same thing

You especially you
You especially you
You especially you
You have my loyalty

You in wartime Love peace
I need to walk you down the street
I'm right here, I'll watch your back
In case the wind blows off your hat

You, you're on time
Your eyes are like a diamond mine
Deep and bright inside

I got buttons bursting in the air
I got apple orchards everywhere
I got grapes swinging from the vine
Swinging in a line, lined up in the sunshine

I got buttons bursting in the air
Ideas, run fingers through my hair

Swing it low, swing it low

Lyric:
So take me down to the infirmary
Lay me down on cotton sheets
Put a damp cloth on my forehead
Lay me down, let me sleep

I know the whiskey, it won't soothe my soul
And the morphine won't heal my heart
But if you take me down to the infirmary, oh yeah
I won't have to sleep or drink alone

So, take me down to the infirmary
The walk a sound, it's as blue as her eyes
Oh, Sister Magdelene won't you fetch the doctor's flask?
He's gonna need a steady, a steady hand

I know the whiskey, it won't soothe my soul
And the morphine won't heal my heart
But if you take me down to the infirmary, oh yeah
I won't have to sleep or drink alone

So take me down to the infirmary

Will you see me later seemed all too soon
And then he smiles he knows honey's coming back
Honey's going to want some more angel food

Devil made of honey, devil made of honey

She said you'll get me when I'm old and wizened
And not a day before that
The devil said honey it won't be that long
Besides I like to see a little more fat
Yea I like to see a little more fat
You know I like to see a little more fat

Honey white, honey white
Honey white, honey white
Uh tell me how is your angel food
Honey white oh honey white

Honey white, honey white
