you've got your mother's picture, it's hanging on the wall your life is in your luggage, that you're stowing down the hall your mirrors lying horizontal, tripping over emtpy bottles while your friends are outside, they're waiting for your call you can't afford this lesson, but you bought in anyway now your vocal chords are missing, there's so much you want to say your friends advice is quintesential, you think they're all just going mental the insults were in jest, but you swallowed anyway
CHORUS my love how did you get this way love what brought on all this weight love open up your arms, the angels want to listen but the devil you've been kissing all night long
you think you're very clever, but you guard yourself with hate you see your life as chess, but you've castled far too late I can't believe the innocence that I thought you could once possess your minions are all grinning, they're just counting down the days when everything comes crashing, we'll be with you through and through I see that silver lining, but you've painted it with blue you're skiing to the bottom, so you feel like you're on top the rumours are all true we're still waiting here for you
BRIDGE there's more to life than this, you're still searching for the bliss you had the first time that you kissed the devil's lips Now you're washed up on the shore, there's no feeling anymore our love is growing tired, and the warranty's expired
bury me in your saltwater bury me under the sands bury me under the ocean but bury me with your own hands bury me under the desert floor maybe somewhere near the rio grande but if you bury me beside you maybe then I'll understand
bury me under a subway in a station no one knows bury me where no one finds me but bury me in my own clothes bury me under a mountain bury me under the flames bury me with muddy waters under 21 feet of mississippi rain
in your sands somewhere near the rio grande bury me in your hands
bury me by the atonobee river maybe somewhere near the mouth let her warm waves surround me carry my body south bury me with all your guilt and sorrow bury me in the back lane just bury me beside you under 21 feet of mississippi rain
in your sands somewhere near the rio grande bury me in your hands in your hands in your hands bury me x 4 in your hands
rolling streets, lazy beats coffee @ 1 son of a gun traffic lights, bar room fights they don't phase me, coffee @ 3 open hands, cry demands pockets empty like a disease it goes on
CHORUS fly fly fly I know you'll be doing well goodbye, bye, bye I'm sure you'll be doing well anxiety, caucaphany, wakes me from sleep, wasn't too deep walked downtown, same old clowns they don't phase me turning a cheek sexy honey, talking to me sweet as a peach just out of reach can't hold on
