"Mockingbird Blues" lyrics
"Mockingbird Blues"
Mockingbird, mockingbird, sing in my tree
I won't get me no sleep for tonight
I got a bee in my bonnet, got a wolf in the pen
I'm letting the bed bugs bite
Racquetball, racquetball, racket in hand
I'm fixing to do him in
Gonna take his life, just don't tell my wife
She says it's a cardinal sin
I'm battling spiders, the ants are marching in
Out in the wilderness, baby, it's hard to find a friend
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
It's hard to find a friend
Amen, amen, amen, amen
It's hard to find a friend
It's hard to find a friend
Mockingbird, mockingbird, up in my tree
He tells me I'm falling behind
Here after the divorce, no Tesla, no Porsche
Just mockingbird shit on my van in the drive
Mockingbird, mockingbird, mocking away
Got every last dollar spent
No country club, no IRA, no boat by the bay
No mortgage, I'm still paying rent
I'm battling spiders, the ants are marching in
Out here in the wilderness, baby, it's hard to find a friend
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
It's hard to find a friend
Amen, amen, amen, amen
It's hard to find a friend
Oh, it's hard to find a friend
Yeah
(Hard to find a friend)
Mockingbird, mockingbird, horrible song
Make a nest in my window sill
Walk a mile in my shoes with these mockingbird blues
And you'll know it's time to kill
I'm battling spiders, the ants are marching in
Out here in the wilderness, baby, it's hard to find a friend
Amen, amen, amen, amen, amen
It's hard to find a friend
Amen, amen, amen, amen
It's hard to find a friend
Man, it's hard to find a friend
Yeah, oh

SPRINTS - "Pieces" She's bits and pieces
Her mouth calls me Jesus
And a heart that seizes
Can never be wrong
Home is where the heart is
So where's my head?
The last one who loved me
Left me better off dead
Help me,...
Off With Their Heads - "Start Walking" There are no words to describe
The awful feeling I have inside
So I shut down
Not the same as it was last time
It's so much worse
It's something that drives me out of my mind
It's a long way back to...
The Flatliners - "Performative Hours" Let me start by peeling back my skin
To at least let a little bit of soft light in
Not something no one's ever seen before
But I just couldn't sit on my hands anymore
I feel compelled to share...
The Trews - "Don't Get Lost In The Dark" We're off the beaten path let me keep you close to
What you've known
No, turning back time, it's not like going back home
This is trouble like we've never known
You've been solid as a mountain,...
The Bouncing Souls - "Ship In A Bottle" Oh my good friend let's start something
Then throw it all out to the wind
How many mountains will we conquer?
We'll never know till we begin
Oh, begin
Oh my teacher what should I believe in
And how...
