(by Heather Phares)

The bluesy punk duo the Kills consists of vocalist/guitarist VV, aka Alison Mosshart, formerly of the Florida punk band Discount, and drummer/guitarist/vocalist Hotel, aka Jamie Hince. After Discount ended in 2000, VV began exchanging tapes with the London-based Hotel through the mail, but both of them felt hindered by this method, so VV crossed the Atlantic so the duo could write faster. In spring of 2001, they issued a self-released demo that showcased their gritty, sexy sound and earned favorable reviews from such quarters as TapeOp Magazine. They also contributed a song, "Restaurant Blouse," to 5 Rue Christine's If the Twenty-First Century Did Not Exist It Would Be Necessary to Invent It compilation early in 2002, before their debut EP, Black Rooster, arrived that summer on Dim Mak. Along with gigs at the London and Glasgow LadyFests and supporting Le Tigre, the Kills also toured the U.S. for eight weeks before returning to London to finish their first full-length album, Keep on Your Mean Side, which was released by Rough Trade in spring 2003. Their second album, No Wow, arrived in 2005 and was an even dirtier, leaner collection of songs.

Superstition is
Your modern eye
With original skin
And original lie
Your modern shell
Wants to fill itself
You got electric now honey so
What the hell

Superstition is
Your modern eye
With original skin
And original lie
Your modern shell
Wants to kill itself
You got electric now honey so
What the hell

Superstition is
Your modern eye
With original skin
And original lie
Your modern shell
Wants to fill itself
You got electric now honey so
What the hell

Cat Claw

It's time to stand up our fingers from the bell
Tell me sugar how you felt now
Come on sugar, tell now
Can't stand your face until it took off
I wouldn't give a fuck but the love here is such a long walk
If this all goes well you won't have nothing
So tell you dead wrong, dead wrong
And now you're long gone
Hang out for minute and re-think
Question, tell me what she'd done
Just one, cause I can't see nothing

So, one, two and
You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!

You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!

Got my hand caught in a cat claw, scream!
On everyone's that time looks around, they're talking trees, you know
Never know who's coming, might easy be me, you know
Give up for my love, cause that's too much, fuck!

So, one, two and...
You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!

You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!

Oh...

It's time to stand up our fingers from the bell
Tell me sugar how you felt now
Come on sugar, tell now
Can't stand your face until it took off
I wouldn't give a fuck but the love here is such a long walk

So, one, two and...
You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!

You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!
You got it, I want it!

All gone bad

Won't move over

Fried my little brains
Fried my little brains

And hmm and sometimes hmm sun if it was gonna' be sunny
But the thing that they did the weatherman had to get get to the station early because umm
There was...uhhh they had to get make-up put on their hand

Gypsy death and you

You knock on her door
She don�t recognize your voice no more
So she got on an airplane
Na na na na not so long after

Struck down from the fever
Layed down in her hotel bed
Wouldn�t take no phone calls at all
Didn�t want no more voices in her head

If that�s the way that you feel
If that�s the way that you feel
If that�s the way that you feel honey, then
That�s the way that you feel

In the blue part of the evening
Sometimes it's hard
She thinks she hears you coming
But she�s stuck against the wall

Oh she wants what she wants
So she do what she do
But now when she looks at you
She covers one eye
'Cause she can see into your mind
She no longer wants to

If that�s the way that you feel
If that�s the way that you feel
And that�s the way that you feel honey, then
That�s the way that you feel

You're gonna have to step over my dead body
Before you walk out that door
You charmed me with your magic
Landed looking tragic
"Forever" is the feather you ain't got no more

And all the people you see coming by to save you
You're make believing on in your mind
Your eyes are holy rollin', looking, beating, knocking
The ceiling gets closer to you all the time

This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet
Fled to die closer to the shore
This ain't no wow no more
This ain't no wow no more
This ain't no wow no more

You're gonna have to step over my dead body
Before you walk out that door
You charmed me with your magic
Landed looking tragic
"Forever" is the feather you ain't got no more

This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet
Fled to die closer to the shore
This ain't no wow no more
This ain't no wow no more
This ain't no wow no more

Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end of the night

Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end of the night

Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end at the end of the night

Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like
Drip drip drip drip drip kinda' like the loose end at the end of the night

This ain't no wow now
They all been put down
Who ain't dead yet, fled to die closer to the shore

Hello baby, hello baby
I love you
Good things come to those who wait
Reach out for it
So reach, reach out for it
My face in the mirror
My hands wanting to touch, touch
Your mouth
Climb in your mouth
Take your words out

One eye in the sun, one in the night
Sleep tight, sleepwalk like honey, honey
O my capital I LOVE U
Put it in a letter honey
I could kiss you underwater
I could in the rearview mirror
X.O, took my heart and crossed it
Set it down and lost it
Set it down and lost it
Say it again...

Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter

One eye in the sun, one eye in the night
Sleep tight, sleepwalk like honey, honey
When you want me, you got me where you want me again
Say it again!
If it's personal, say it again!

Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter

Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out

You got one eye as white as a bride
The other eye, as black as the devil
It's alright!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!

Crossed wires, sparking a little
Start a house fire with us in the middle
It's alright!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!
Oh oh, oh oh oh oh oh!

Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Get the guns out, get the guns out
Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter

Your love is a deserter
Your love is a deserter

Dead Road 7

This dead road leads down
To that dead road and back
To the road where the oldest road
Met the first dead road that cracked
Made the second and curved the third
Forked the forth and said to the fifth
"If you walk just a couple of miles
You're gonna come across the sixth, the sixth, the sixth"

It runs into a ditch
Dead road seven is a bitch
Dead road seven is a bitch
Floating belly flush
Floating belly up, up, up, up

This dead road leads down
To that dead road and back
To the road where the oldest road
Met the first dead road and cracked

Made the second and curved the third
Forked the forth and said to the fifth
"If you walk just a couple of miles
You're gonna come across the sixth, the sixth, the sixth"

Dead road seven is a bitch
Dead road seven is a bitch
Floating belly flush
Floating belly up, up, up, up

Dead road seven is a bitch
Dead road seven is a bitch
Floating belly flush
Floating belly up, up, up, up

The Good Ones

Took a car to the part of the city
Where the city runs out of street lights
God knows, it's the way that it goes
That we're never gonna catch any daylight

My little sister's eyes so wide
They must have been the size of the city moon tonight
My little sister's eyes so wide
That they must have been the size of the city

Did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones
Did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones

Did you got me the good ones
The real good ones, what you got
Take the water for the water taste good
I took the water and the water was hot

Once in a while, once in a while
You got to burn your lips, keep your feelings alive
Once in a while, once in a while
You got to burn down your house, keep your dreaming alive

So, did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones
Oh, did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones

Did you get the good ones
Did you get the good ones
Oh, did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones
Did you get the real good ones
Did you get me the good ones
Oh, did you get the real good ones
Did you get me the good ones

Did you get the real good ones
Did you get the good ones
Oh, did you get the real good ones
Did you get me the good ones

I Hate The Way You Love

I, I, I can't get full
Please could you take my shakes
And would you hold them still
My words fell into the road
I saw it starting to happen
And I could not collect them
Before they were rolled
I could not collect them
Before they were rolled

You love, you love, you love
I hate the way you love
I hate the way you love

May I look into your glass
Because I need some reflection
Yeah, I know it won't last
And look it's over already over
And I did not have the heart
No I did not have the heart
I was loosing a button
Right from the start
I was loosing a button
I was coming apart
I was coming apart

You love, you love, you love
I hate the way you love
I hate the way you love

I know I've seen you before
You bored me then and now you just bore me some more
The clock gets locked, locked
Tick tick, tick-tick-tick, stop, stop!
And now I can't get full
Please could you take my shakes
My eyes feel spikey and small
And I can't get no picture on them at all
I can't get no picture on them at all

You love, you love, you love
I hate the way you love
I hate the way you love

I Hate the Way You Love, Pt. 2

At The Back Of The Shell

Kiss all your fingers
What's that for
You'll never get to heaven
With your shirt all tore
Cut through your finger
And cut you loose
Lost a lot a blood
Lost a lot a cool cool cool

Now it ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
Now it ain't such a thrill
It get's a little dirty
Like the guts of a hack
And you'll never get it back
You never get the damn thing back

Looked a picture
Took up half a roll
The way you went and took off
Half your clothes, and now

It ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
It started at the back of the shell
And it ain't such a thrill

Running to catch up
The last city bus
Wearing out your yellow
Hulla dress
Lipstick a mess
Your ch-cherry best
Kissing on the window
Just to check on the red

You know, it ain't such a thrill
Now it ain't such a thrill
It started at the back of the shell
Now it ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill
It ain't such a thrill...

Sweet Cloud

See I've upset the weather
See I've upset my sweet cloud
Growing black
Thick and heavy
Strike me now gonna put me down

See I've upset my brother
See i've upset his sweet heart
I love him, inturn I kill
I know no words to make it right

I know no words to fix my killing
I know no words to fix my killing
I know no words to fix my killing
But I'll do anything to bring my brother alive
I know no words to fix my killing
But I'll do anything to bring my brother alive

Lost a lot of blood
Lost a lot of cool cool
Lost a lot of blood
Lost a lot of cool cool cool

See I've upset his morning
See I've upset his afternoon
I see no way
I see no right
The night calls it stays on the night
I know no words to fix my killing
I know no words to fix my killing

I know no words to fix my killing
But I'll do anything to bring my brother alive
I know no words to fix my killing
But I'll do anything to bring my brother alive

Lost a lot of blood
Lost a lot of cool cool
Lost a lot of blood
Lost a lot of cool cool cool

Lost a lot of blood
Lost a lot of cool cool cool
Lost a lot of blood
Lost a lot of cool cool cool

I know no words to fix my killing

I know no words to fix my killing
I know no words to fix my killing
I know no words to fix my killing
I know no words to fix my killing

Rodeo Town

If I'm so evil
Why are you satisfied
If I'm so evil
Why are you satisfied

I had a dream about your ghost
You were breathing down my neck
Idiot style in the shower
Flicking your ashes down the drain

You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down

You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down

If I'm so evil
Why are you all satisfied
If I'm so evil
Why are you satisfied

When you left you said
I'm gonna keep an eye on you
Well I don't mind if you do
But you can't keep quiet

You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down

You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down

You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down

You were telling me how
This ain't no Rodeo Town
I caught the gun
But you made me set it down

Murdermile

This ain't murdermile
That's just the way I smile
You're like hot oil
Got your roots down in a fire

Spitting shit like a tire
Got your foot down and your mind down
To it's last little wire
Come on! Come on!

It's a train wreck
You got me on the wrong track, honey
It's a train wreck
You got me on the wrong track, honey
It's piling up one by one
It's piling up one by one

You look bluer, do your do or die
But I ain't pull or push that pin in your side
A body split in two doesn't know how to sleep
A body split in two doesn't know how to sleep
You're standing on your head, while you're standing on your feet
A body split in two doesn't know how to sleep

It's a train wreck
You got me on the wrong track, honey
It's a train wreck
You got me on the wrong track, honey
It's piling up one by one
It's piling up one by one
It's piling up one by one...

Ticket Man

Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket in my hand
Why don't you give it up and get it down
Spend half as much, kills you in half the time
Oh pull on the baby red number, make you hard to hit
Hard to stand and hard to sit around
Nothing's gonna kiss you like the blister gonna get you
From waiting it out

Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket in my hand

Why don't you give it up and get it down
Spend half as much, kills you and half the town
Oh it's a little too easy to always be kind
But the longer it takes, the more you must find
It's a little too easy to always be kind
But the longer it takes, the more you must find

Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many tickets is the problem, man
Here's the ticket, what's the problem
Too many problems is the ticket in my hand

U.R.A Fever

Walk you to the counter
What do you got to offer
Pick you out a soda
Look at you forever
Walk you to the water
Your eyes like a casino
You ain't born typical

Find a piece of silver
Pretty as a diagram
Go down to the Rio
Put it in my left hand
Put it in a fruit machine
Everyone's a winner
Laughing like a seagull

You are a fever
You are a fever
You ain't born typical
You are a fever
You are a fever
You ain't born typical

Living in a suitcase
Meet a clown, fall in love
Been dying to have you over
Clown around and break up
Take you to a jukebox
That's the situation
Pick you out a number
That's our arrangement

Dancing on the legs of a new-born pony
Left right left right
Keep it up son
Go ahead and have her
Go ahead and leave her
You only ever had her
When you were a fever

I am a fever
I am a fever
I ain't born typical
I am a fever
I am a fever
I ain't born typical

We are a fever
We are a fever
We ain't born typical
We are a fever
We are a fever
We ain't born typical
We are a fever
We are a fever
We ain't born typical
We are a fever
We are a fever
We ain't born typical

Cheap And Cheerful

I'm bored of cheap and cheerful
I want expensive sadness
Hospital bills, parole
Open doors to madness

I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're boring baby when you're straight
I want you to be crazy
'Cause you're stupid baby when you're sane

I'm sick of social graces
Show your sharp-tipped teeth
Lose your cool in public
Dig that illegal meat

'Cause love is just a dialogue
You can't survive on ice-cream
You got to same needs as a dog

It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)
It's alright (it's alright)
To be mean (to be mean)

I want you to be crazy

Tape song

You've got to
You've got to
You�ve got to

Tape ain't gonna fix it
Honey, it ain't gonna stick
Tape ain't gonna fix it
Honey, it ain't gonna stick to you

Six kinds of glue

Won't hold you
Oh my oh, oh my

Getting Down

It's going on five
I want you to know
My spirit's alive
I want you to know

I'm getting down with the awkward moments
I'm getting down with the sour kiss
I'm getting down with the rumours in the back of the car
I'm getting down with it

Sgnal when you get to the top
Signal when you want me
When you want me to stop
We could, we could crash
We could, we could, burn burn
We could take it
We could, we could take it take it in turns

Getting down
I'm getting down with your new vocation
I'm getting down with your cute cut wrist
I'm getting down with the kisses and cross-stitches on it
I'm getting down with it

Here's a message from my old coat pocket
My spirit's alive and I want you to know

I'm getting down with the young drunk lovers
I'm getting down with the one-way pact
I'm getting down with the city and the pity of it
I'm getting down with it

Last Day Of Magic

We�re two parties
Two parties ending

What if you move
What if you hide
There's only so much you can miss
Before we both collide

My little tornado
My little hurricano
Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano

We�re two parties
Two parties ending

I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the guts of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano
Last day of magic
Coming through
The eye of the storm
And I hold on to
My little tornado
My little hurricano

I'll be the man with the broom
If you'll be the guts of the room
And there's only so much you can hide
Before I corner you

Last day of magic
Put a hole right through
The eye of the storm
In a single room
My little tornado
My little hurricano
Calvary come
Calvary go
Calvary leave me alone, oh, oh, oh

My little serenado
My little cococaino
Last day of magic
Where are you
My little tornado
My little hurricano

Hook and line

With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away

Try your best in your heavy shape
Keep it quiet, keep it cool
Lipstick letters and souvenirs
Make a mockery of your fears

With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away

Try your best to make it matter
Tattoo it in the clouds above you
Nail it down with jealous bones
Till it goes like a feather off on it's own

With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away

A pawn
A shove
An eerie love
A whip
A crack
You won't come back

With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away

With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I still blow away
With your hook and line I'm still blown away
With your hook and line I still blow away

Black Balloon

Elevator straight into my skull
The escalator rises as it falls
I swear our jet is crashing in my mind
You can hold on but I wouldn't waste your time

Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon

I've stood in a thousand street scenes
Just around the corner from you
On the edge of a dream that you have
Has anybody ever told you, it's not coming true

Farewell my black balloon
Farewell my black balloon
Has the weather had its way with you
Farewell my black balloon
Has the weather had its way with you
Farewell my black balloon...

M.E.X.I.C.O.C.U

Running into trouble
Running into trouble
You've got heavenly eyes
Thousand highs

Always on a mission
It's not loving, it's not kissing
It's the heavenly ride
You still got wheels, kid

If I go missing
Don't you worry for me
I'm just writing
My side of the story

Just like Jackie
I'm biting my lips
Scoring my mind
With whatever I can find

I'm going down the coast
To M.E.X.I.C.O, see you
I'm going down the coast
To M.E.X.I.C.O, see you

Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
'Cause it crossed my mind
It crossed my mind
Made my blood thump 7-8-9
Make my heart beat double time
Now I'm only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand

Shout when you wanna get off the ride
Shout when you wanna get off the ride
'Cause it crossed my mind
It crossed my mind
I'm a penny in a diamond mine
We could be movers
We could be shakers
If we could just shake something out of the blue
And get off the ride

Now I'm the only sour cherry on the fruit stand, right
Am I the only sour cherry on the fruit stand
If I'm the only sour cherry on your fruit stand right
Am I the only sour cherry on your fruit stand

G-g-g-go home, go home it's over
G-g-g-go home it's over
G-g-g-go home, go home it's over over
Go go home it�s over
G-g-g-go home, go home it's over
Go go home it's over
G-g-g-go home, go home it's over over
Go go home it�s over

Alphabet Pony

He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony

Phoney monkey toy money
Lose end soda hands
Pink plastic jesus on the dashboard
Just saying

He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony
No fun not happy

Got no money need a friend
A volcano dish on a mountain-top to live in

He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony

Cancel sunday cancel monday
Don't look at me I've been
Running on a no-tomorrow
Road at great speed
Need a punch a pop a bang a different song
Like a nice new home
Needs a mean stray dog yeah

He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony

Oh we go up down up down
Up downtown again
We like the walk the talk don't stop
And fall into the quicksand
Sharp teeth dry heat
Can't breathe too many sins
And don't forget my cigarettes
And get something that we can drink

He's the alphabet pony
Oh he's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony
He's the alphabet pony

What New York Used To Be

Coma comma drama come on
Draw it, scratch it, say it, say it
Make it to the bottom ladder climb it
Drop an apple off the top it stop it
I don't want to eat it
Need it, know it, force it, feed it, leave it, be it
Just keep it in its box

What easy used to be
What love used to be
What drugs used to be
What TV used to be
What music used to be
What luck used to be
What art used to be
What you used to be

Coma comma drama come on
Drawl your skin your mile longer
Love song sure it tells the future
Fingers crushed and run em' under water
Shark infested sea of secrets in the open fire
Beat it, don't believe it
Just keep it in its box

What easy used to be
What fun used to be
What dreaming used to be
What fame used to be

What the city used to be
What fast used to be
What low used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be
What New York used to be

Come, come, come on
Come, come, come on

Goodnight Bad Morning

The Speeds working I see it in everyone
Like a lost idea under lightbulb sun
Your eyes ready for take off melt in your hand
What a beautiful state we are in

The jailers in my mind are all dead
I love you so much, never forget
All of our secrets are coming undone
What a beautiful state we are in

Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning
Goodnight another bad morning

Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight, another bad
Goodnight another bad morning

( Serge Gainsbourg Cover of "La chanson de slogan" / Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited LP )

I wonder, wondered, no wonder
The weakest, the cheapest, hangover
In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, I call it art

A no good, a no one, a no show
A too much, perfection, to say no
In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, I call it art

In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, call it art

I wonder, I wondered, no wonder
The weakest, the cheapest, hangover
In the end, foe or friend, live apart
Call it hate, call it love, call it art

Jewel Thief

Jewel thief where do you get all those pretty necklaces
Jewel thief where do you get all those silver pistols
Jewel thief where do you get all those animal heads
With lovely posture you eat bread carefully chewing when they shot you dead
You look like a mannequin with your mouth full
Don't worry baby i'll take care of you
You got a million horses at your door
You got a feeling that you'll need a million more
I got a million horses of my own
In the evening one by one they carry me home
I'll get your telephone I'll run a comb through your dead thief hair
Tell them you're not home
I'll wear your pretty clothes
And shoot your stolen guns
Jewel thief you and I are gonna be best friends

Passion Is Accurate

( Run Home Slow EP )

I engineered a heavy heart
You carried the weight of it
I engineered the awkward look
You carry a trace of it

My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate

I engineered the long silence
I engineered the bored kiss
I calculated the nights you missed
You carried the weight of it

My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate

I move in mathematician fashion
I move the problem around a fraction
My passion is accurate
You carried the weight of it

My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate
My passion is accurate

Run home slow

You lay with the dogs
You lay with the dogs
You like it enough, man
You lay with the dogs
Chewy fingers riding your mouth
(?) twenty hours just away from the sun (?)

It's easily done my friend
It's easily done my friend

And you're wired for the night
And you run home slow
And you're wired for the night
And you run home slow

You lay with the dogs, man
You lay with the dogs
A little too long, man
You lay with the dogs
???
For twenty hours to take you run home

It's easily done my friend
Just take it and run my friend
It's easily done
It's easily done
I'd easily do it again

And you wired for the night
And you run home slow
When you hollar and cry
And you run home slow
And you're hit and you're down
And you run home slow
Little pony

Took a cherry, took a twenty
Took my skin and took my bone
Took a car and took a hit
And took myself far away from home

Took your card and took your messages
And took a look and then
Took a walk and turned around
And took a look again
You took my boots, you took my keys
And took a twenty took a ten
Took your calls and your warning about calling again

And you wired for the night
And you run home slow
When you hollar and cry
And you run home slow
And you're hit and you're down
And you run home slow
Little pony

It's easily done my friend
Just take it and run my friend
It's easily done
It's easily done
I'd easily do it again

And you wired for the night
And you run home slow
When you hollar and cry
And you run home slow
And you're hitch and you're white
And you run home slow
Little pony

Took your card and took your messages
And took a look and then
Took a walk and turned around
And took a look again
You took my boots, you took my keys
And took a twenty took a ten
Took your calls and your warning about calling again

And you wired for the night
And you run home slow
And you wired for the night
And you run home slow

And you wired for the night
And you run home slow
Little pony, little pony
Little pony, little pony

In every car that passes me on the street
I search for the particular face
The lipstick trembles under boomlights
The lipstick my own brothers only trace

Was the birthday birthday ashtray
Carried all along this way now
It was a gift from my little sister
On the very same day they took her away

And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside

In Hollywood I got the phone call
That made my heart and my limosine stall
Falling down in the hotel hall again
Little drunk from the Warners' Christmas ball
Cut by love and cut by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade
Cut by love and cut by switchblade
He's been gone nearly half a decade

I still remember my brother
I see his face on the billboards
And the polaroids that stayed on my pillow 'til they faded

And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside

And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside your head
And it's painted cherry red, cherry red now
All your dreams are cherry red inside

Sugar Baby

Got no sugar baby now;
It's all I can do for to see peace with you,
And I can't get along this a-way
Oh, i can't get along this a-way.

All I can do, all I can say;
Gonna send you to your mama next payday,
Send you to your mama next payday.

Who'll rock the cradle, who'll sing the song
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone,
Who'll rock the cradle when I'm gone?
I'll rock the cradle, I'll sing the song,
I'll rock the cradle when you're gone.
I'll rock the cradle when you're gone.

Oh I've got no honey baby now;
Oh I've got no honey baby now;
i got no sugar baby now.

Said all I can say, all I can do,
And I can't make a living with you,
Can't make a living with you.
