"Ruby Slippers" lyrics
Kill all my fathers, they abandoned me
I'm in the band, but I play tambourine
And I see you turn like you don't see
They got parks for dogs here, but no parks for me
Drop top cruising down the boulevard
Don't stop, you don't wanna know
Doors locked, the worlds in front of me, but I can't go in
Now you see me, now you don't
I got lost in a house of mirrors
Excuse me sir, but have you seen my ruby slippers?
Kill all my mothers, never wanted me
I forget how to dream, don't remember sleep
I'm too broke to breathe in the land of the free
They got a coat of arms, but no coat for me
Drop top cruising down the boulevard
Don't stop, you don't wanna know
Doors locked, the worlds in front of me, but I can't go in
Now you see me, now you don't
I got lost in a house of mirrors
Excuse me sir, but have you seen my ruby slippers?
I was a boy when they found him
Hanging, a coat in the closet
Covered with sweat, eyes fixed on the bed
Bottom lip dripping, a faucet
God I loved him deeper than honey
On my starving tongue in the cold
My acid trip, stuck in a corner
The prayer I let slip when alone
And I see him again and again
In the wrinkles that catch in my squint
In the lavatory steel, hands white on the wheel
Turning cigarettes into the sink
Miss his voice up the stairs
Telling her she was a cunt
And the hole that was left, in the pit of her chest
From the trauma, the sharp then the blunt
So what hope was there darling I beg you?
What hope was there rounding the bend?
On a road that was paved, dug in silence, a grave
With never the space for a friend
The love songs they write for the movies
The pictures they take for the stands
They weren't meant to find me
I will never conceive
Myself in the shoes of a man
Bottoms up on the cuts on my lips
Cracked pale, polluted by sun
I am the one, who should've never become
Somebody, anyone's son
Anyone
Anyone
Anyone
Anyone
I'm in the band, but I play tambourine
And I see you turn like you don't see
They got parks for dogs here, but no parks for me
Drop top cruising down the boulevard
Don't stop, you don't wanna know
Doors locked, the worlds in front of me, but I can't go in
Now you see me, now you don't
I got lost in a house of mirrors
Excuse me sir, but have you seen my ruby slippers?
Kill all my mothers, never wanted me
I forget how to dream, don't remember sleep
I'm too broke to breathe in the land of the free
They got a coat of arms, but no coat for me
Drop top cruising down the boulevard
Don't stop, you don't wanna know
Doors locked, the worlds in front of me, but I can't go in
Now you see me, now you don't
I got lost in a house of mirrors
Excuse me sir, but have you seen my ruby slippers?
I was a boy when they found him
Hanging, a coat in the closet
Covered with sweat, eyes fixed on the bed
Bottom lip dripping, a faucet
God I loved him deeper than honey
On my starving tongue in the cold
My acid trip, stuck in a corner
The prayer I let slip when alone
And I see him again and again
In the wrinkles that catch in my squint
In the lavatory steel, hands white on the wheel
Turning cigarettes into the sink
Miss his voice up the stairs
Telling her she was a cunt
And the hole that was left, in the pit of her chest
From the trauma, the sharp then the blunt
So what hope was there darling I beg you?
What hope was there rounding the bend?
On a road that was paved, dug in silence, a grave
With never the space for a friend
The love songs they write for the movies
The pictures they take for the stands
They weren't meant to find me
I will never conceive
Myself in the shoes of a man
Bottoms up on the cuts on my lips
Cracked pale, polluted by sun
I am the one, who should've never become
Somebody, anyone's son
Anyone
Anyone
Anyone
Anyone
