I KNOW what it's like baby you do too to hate the things we make & to love them too what do you do with you're hands when it's been too long keep sippin on your cup after your coffee's gone WHEN it's good it's so good when it's bad it's so bad when it's good it hurts like it should COLD black tar & china white if you got a car we can go for a ride cold white keys cold wood & steel wrap your legs around anyone who makes you feel WHEN it's good it's so good when it's bad it's so bad when it's good it hurts like it should

HOW your voice does travel along my bones it knows the temperature where the sugar burns it knows the distance the crow flies to my home WHO has your name in their mouth now? They want to sell you but they don't know how WHEN I met you we were little girls knew the devil & the train yard but we had not seen the world now you fly in AIRPLANES & grow out your hair you look real nice so who the hell really cares WHO has your name in their mouth now? they want to sell you but they don't know how THE raven still rides on your back it's feathers are so shiny & black WHO has your name in their mouth now? they want to sell you but they don't know how

Lincolnville 03:26
IF you give me a ride to the swimmin spot you might get to see me take my clothes off take me to the cliff & I'll jump right in the river is always cold enough to make me forget who I had to come here with HOW we learn to dress & act & think & feel how we learned to cheat & steal & lie how we learned to make them think that we we're listening but we were humming WE get high on pain & your parent's gin we get high on pain medicine so that we can forget all we have to put up with IT sleeps in our bed it swims in our water the water is the river that leads us back to our mother I will build a mountain in front of the water so that river will not drown your daughter

I love you I love you like you love the bottom of the bottle that's because you because you have finally gone away FOR a century chim-chim-cheerie WHEN the ship comes when the ship comes I'll have an apple in my jaw & 'a diamond snake around my arm' DO you want this yellow apple can I offer you a bite? Do you want this yellow apple can I cut you off a slice? FOR a century chim-chim-cheerie I love you I love you like a HOG LOVES CORN that's because you because you know my blood is warm

meat loves salt I love you don't do a damn thing they tell you to but the hook they put in my heart is still there it tugs a little when she pulls my hair if you can't be free just pretend to be if you can't be free be mystery god well he don't understand your body all they people don't know a think about me jesus you'd be so proud of me if I turn my off let me cold heart be if you can't be free just pretend to be if you can't be free be mystery meat loves salt I love you don't do a damn thing they tell you to

LOUISE is trying to tell you where she's from sounds like lying every time she moves her tongue truth it takes you when you're an honest man her mama traded the ocean for the frying pan Everybody knows me knows that I get ICY if you let me I will skate away NEW YORK CITY is not a cage it is a net you arrest me but you will never take me EVERYBODY knows me knows that I get heavy how do my legs means to carry my body home BIT the head off every poppy in your yard must be love if it feels this hard love is selfish it wants the biggest slice of pie LOUISE you need your for YOUR WILD MIND everybody knows you knows that you get crazy too long as the snow stays this lovely shade of blue Not that DARKNESS makes the greatest friend it's just that he's the one from way back when he's the one from way back when

spilt your whole glass of milk let it roll down the cement past all the people who couldn't give a damn in the parade we can leave this party when ever you want to anyways I hate everyone but you but you oh you were born into the cold light yelling with blood on your wings I don't mind if all you want to do is sit around and cry because you're owed it like the cold is owed to the steel sadness is the pit it's the stone in the cherry it can make you forget there are people who love you it can make you want to quit it can make you want to quit and shame it can be a very warm blanket it can make you forget the songs you used to sing before you realized the whole world would know just what they mean you were born into the cold light yelling with blood on your wings I don't mind if all you want to do is sit around and cry because you're owed it like the cold is owed to the steel I'd follow every breadcrumb every feather fingernail even if you are not at the end of the trail and 'I'd give my body back cell by cell to have you well' to have you well you were born into the cold light yelling with blood on your wings I don't mind if all you want to do is sit around and cry because you're owed it like the cold is owed to the steel
