Dead Girl Red
01:42

I left it to a dead girl, my heart's been gone for so long (x4)
She'd shiver and shake
and shiver and shake (x3)
I want you to shiver and shake
and shiver and shake (x3)
When you got the dead girl red
It makes you wanna crawl in bed
think things you shouldn't think you thought
say things you shouldn't say you said
Step mothers and childhood friends
tend to get the dead girl red
taking that red skirt off
lipstick like a smile that bled

Whose eye do you look into
with the cameras all in place?
There's a muzzle in the crowd
There's a smile on his face
My father was particularly fond of sadder days
His voice so high and clear and full of spades
He'd set the table with all of the dishes we shouldn't break
and say "It's been an exhausting day"
With the cameras all in place
they're just strangers in the crowd
my father calls them jabber jays
they're just strangers in the crowd
just voices calling out
I thought this all up in a dream
it's one of my favorite places to be
your friends star in a little movie
and nothing works the way it seems
I was photographing a party
a band played as I chewed the scenery
everybody watched from private balconies
they were all stripped down to their skivvies
I walked downstairs to where I'd never been
but I didn't know it was my basement
I found some swim trunks in a closet
and we were hosting a party
I saw my friend starting to apologize
he couldn't do a deep freeze with me
and they were stripped down to their skivvies
but could I go to one next week?
Whose eye do you look into
with the cameras all in place?
There's a muzzle in the crowd
There's a smile on his face

Black queen of hearts
Head in the ground
Promised myself I'm never finding out
Black queen of hearts
Head in the clouds
Promise myself I'm never coming down
Tight as a glove
Cold as the ground
Could she show us
The way around
I can't get up
Now that the angels in the clouds
Are calling me out
Black queen of hearts
Head in the ground
Promised myself I'm never finding out
Black queen of hearts
Head in the clouds
Promise myself I'm never coming down

This Ghost

Ghost Ghost Ghost Ghost! (x8)
Ghost!
This ghost's my friend
Now the good times never end
I won't miss you
Cause you're in my head
We go out at night
Maybe I'll pick a fight
This ghost laughs and laughs and laughs
Everything's alright
Cause this ghost's having fun
Cause this ghost loves someone
and this ghost has begun
To slowly make his feelings known
Sunday at the zoo
Other kids stuck in their rooms
Final warning
It's coming true
Have fun for a time
Get in the water's feeling fine
Oh, I change my mind
I'll swim a different time
Cause this ghost's having fun
Cause this ghost loves someone
and this ghost has begun
To slowly make his feelings known
Sunrise on the shore
And this ghost's fighting for a
Love that is no more
Police dogs searching for his bones.

Just like you do

She does it just like you
She does it just like you do
I think it was the night before last
It thundered the night before that
Are you gonna go back to bed?
I'm gonna watch TV instead
So we beat her black and blue
She does it just like you do
She does it just like you
She does it just like you do
She does it just like you
She does it just like you do
She does it just like you did
You visit your hometown friends
And a girl you once knew
She's got a little boy who
Smells just like you do
He smiles just like you do
He smiles just like you
So he beat her black and blue
He does it just like you
I was at a party for everyone our age
Most of our moms served food on top of red plastic plates
The plates were cracked and reused
But all the food tasted great
I guess you really get used to the things your Mother makes for you
The love she indefinitely lends you
but what will you do
When you get to choose?
She does it just like you
She does it just like you do
She does it just like you
She does it just like you do
She does it just like you

Gone

You got the money honey
Go head and spend it all
You hear the phone ringing
But don't return my call
And if a 67 black Cadillac doesn't bring your baby back
Then maybe she's gone
Summer's some obsession
She keeps her sweethearts second guessing
And since they never ask for answers
When she leaves they're spouting questions
But if they had it where it's hidden
They really stuck it where it counted
It would shake her as it gave her balance
They wouldn't even see the challenge
And if a 67 black Cadillac doesn't bring your baby back
Then maybe she's gone
Maybe she's gone
And the nanny says
Cry baby
Cry cry baby cry Baby
Cry cry baby cry baby
Cry cry baby cry
The nanny says
Cry baby
Cry cry baby cry Baby
Cry cry baby cry baby
Cry cry baby cry
The nanny says
Cry baby
Cry cry baby cry Baby
Cry cry baby cry baby
Cry cry baby cry
The nanny says
Cry baby
Cry cry baby cry Baby
Cry cry baby cry baby
Cry cry baby cry

Does it ever feel like all at once everyone's losing their goddamn minds?
Like all at once everyone started to get up and they started to say goodbye
to the good times? to some of the best fucking times?
They're acting like it's alright
because they've gotta get by
John and Paul said if you can't remember it tomorrow
It ain't worth writing down in the middle of the night
What's it like to be right if it means giving up the good times?
Some of the best fucking times and I can't get high like I used to get high
Do you call this living your life?
I remember a time when we could get by and fuck around all night.
I choose to sing about that time
I choose to sing about that time
I used to sing about that time
I used to think about that time
But you know that it's about that time to say goodnight
If it means giving up the good times
Some of the best fucking times
and I can't get high like I used to get high
Do you call this living your life?
Man fuck living your life.
