We're making war

We're making war, lover
We are not getting on
I will not change to keep the peace
You won't admit you're wrong
I've got a bellyful of grudges and I will not let them out
The wreckage of your previous life
You will not sort it out

The dirt we keep on raking
The giving up, the taking
And we keep on making war, darling

The stand off is coming
The wounds should heal without a scar
But the stitches keep on breaking
And you keep on phoning
And I keep on moaning
And we keep on making war

Sweetheart, destroying our best laid plans
I will not explain myself and you refuse to understand
Our friends all become traitors as we wave our piece of paper
The ammunition's loaded
And the troops are at the border
But I might be bluffing
And you might be faking
But we keep making war

We Float

 

We wanted to find love
We wanted success
Until nothing was enough
Until my middle name was excess
And somehow I lost touch
When you went out of sight
When you got lost into the city
Got lost into the night

I was in need of help
Heading to black out
'Til someone told me run on in honey
Before somebody blows your goddam' brains out
You shop-lifted as a child
I had a model's smile
You carried all my hopes
Until something broke inside

But now we float
Take life as it comes

So will we die of shock?
Die without a trial
Die on Good Friday
While holding each other tight
This is kind of about you
This is kind of about me
We just kind of lost our way
But we were looking to be free

But one day we'll float
Take life as it comes

Water 2

 

Pulled the pin
Look at that guy
Count to three
Writing postcards
His arm twist like a cat's spine
Nothing on his mind
Closed his eyes and hummed
I'm confused and thirsty
Waited to explode
He got orangeena by his side
Waited to feel fine
You speak English?
Well he weren't holed up in no bunker you know
What a dummy
Just walking the bank
21 and never been unbuttoned
Watching the river go
Yeah - he was already lost
Past a queen in crocodile shoes
Still gave me a drink of course
Square-toes from out of town
Was going to ask him if he wanted
Past a fridge on wheels forgetting the news
Something in it and
Past a wrinkled breast that's
To send me a card from this little island
Going to brown
But he stood up brushing lunch
Pulled the pin
From his shirt
Count to three
And I'm already back at work
He arch his back into the sun
Look at that jerk
Saw Lawrence on the water
On Lawrance on the water
He felt the water run
He make me wanna run
He waited to explode
He make me put my head in my hands

Water

Water
Walking on
Water
For years
Taking it into my head
Living by the right lines
Reading what the very man said
Water
Walking on
Water
Neighing on eleven years
Taking it into my head
Mary Mary drop me softly
I've been reading what your very man said
Neighing on eleven years
Taking it into my head
Leave my clothes on the beach
I'm walking down into the sea
Prove it to me
Now the water to my ankles
Now the water to my knees
Think of him all waxy wings
Melted down into the sea
Mary Mary what your man said
Is washing in all over my head
Mary Mary hold on tightly
Over water under the sea

Wang Dang Doodle (by W. Dixon)

Tell automatic Slim
Tell razor totin' Jim
Tell butcher knife toting Nanny
Tell fast talking fanny
We're gonna pitch a ball
Down to the union hall
We're gonna romp and trump till midnight
We're gonna fuss and fight till daylight
We're gonna get your wang dang doodle all night long

Tell cooda-crawling Ray
To tell abyssinia Ned
To tell old pistol Pete
To tell everybody he meets
Tonight we need no rest
We're gonna really throw a mess
We're gonna knock down all the windows
We're gonna kick down all the doors
We're gonna get your wang dang doodle all night long

All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

Tell fats and washbone Sam
Everybody gonna jam
Tell shaking boxcar Joe
We got sawdust on the floor
Now tell Peggy and Colin Die
We're gonna have a heck of a time
Now when the fish scent fill the air
There'll be snuff juice everywhere
We're gonna get your wang dang doodle all night long

All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long
All night long

Wait

 

  

 

I thought that if I waited, things might happen
There was no need to move myself, whats happening to me?
I sit around, and sit around, my legs are underneath me
Sit around, and dream around the things I'm going to be

But I've waited so long
Forgotten what i was waiting for
Waited six long years or more
Another minute won't make any difference, at all

Might even happen today, might even happen tomorrow
Everyone is waiting, everyone was sighting
Ways of moving slowly, but nobody is moving

But I've waited so long
Forgotten what i was waiting for
Waited six long years or more
Another minute won't make any difference, at all

Might even happen when you are looking out the window
Might even happen when you are walking down the stairs

All i seem to do is wait
Waiting for buses, waiting for trains
But my bus is always late
All i seem to do is wait
Spend my life anticipating things that will never happen

My god I've waited so long
Forgotten what i was waiting for
Waited six long years or more
Another minute won't make any difference, at all
