"Suckerz Promises" lyrics
"Suckerz Promises"
(feat. Bryan J. Howard)
You can't chew life with a broken tooth
You don't backstroke up the fountain of youth
You won't mainline dreamtime
Ain't no price tag on your peace of mind
From the pimp roll to the Nashville stroll
Freakshow to the Hollywood bowl it's all
Fools gold, vain skywriting
Hang a worm on a hook, everybody biting them
Biting on them suckerz promises
In the wake of deception
And in the hope of redemption
In the holy grail of love
Now check out the chick with the credit card eyes
She got a freeze dried souls as the silicone sighs
She spends about as good as a Kinko's dollar
She's a pitch man with a pitch fork hollering
"Shut your mind, open your pocket
Hey ho, time to pony up the dough"
You best Q-tip your ears cause the truth I'm selling
Is that propped up behind the hopping and the yelling
Is a whole lotta, lotta suckerz promises
In the wake of deception
A lotta suckerz promises
And in the hope of redemption
In the holy grail of love
Now I ain't hip and I don't much care
See my hips do fine just a'getting me there
I take bullshit with a big ole stride
You don't step in the stink of no mainstream slime
'Cause suck on the bait and sad but true
In the end my friend the joke's on you
'Cause all it takes turning nickels to dimes
Is product a hook, some bait and a line of them
Of them suckerz promises

Gillian Welch - "Scarlet Town" Buddy I went down to Scarlet Town
Never been there before
You slept on a feather bed
I slept on the floor
I don't mind a lean old time
Or drinking my coffee cold
But the things I seen in Scarlet...
Courtney Barnett & Kurt Vile - "Over Everything" When I'm all alone on my own by my lonesome
And there ain't a single 'nother soul around
I wanna dig into my guitar, bend a blues riff that hangs
Over everything
When I'm by myself and it's daytime...
Lou Reed - "The Gun" The man has a gun
he knows how to use it
Nine millimeter Browning
let's see what he can do
He'll point at your mouth
say that he'll blow your brains out
Don't you mess with me
carrying a gun
Carrying...
Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - "There Is a Kingdom" Just like a bird that sings up the sun
In a dawn so very dark
Such is my faith for you
Such is my faith
And all the world's darkness can't swallow up
A single spark
Such is my love for you...
