"Blacktop" lyrics
"Blacktop"
Do you think that there's a way I could ever get too far
That you'd ask me where I'd been
Like I ask you where you are?
But I know you're in the pews
The same as stools around the bar
And I know I saw your hand
When I went out and wrapped my car
Streetlamp...
Around the streetlamp
So I wrote you love letters
And sung them in my house
And all around the South
The broken strings and amplifiers scream with holy noise
In hopes to draw you out
But if no one sings along in praise
Are you still proud when I open my mouth?
Come visit me
Come visit me
In the back of an ambulance;
A saline communion that I held like a séance on the blacktop
The devil in my arms says feed me to the wolves tonight
And come visit me
In the back of an ambulance
And a saline communion that I held like a séance

Frightened Rabbit - "I Wish I Was Sober" Fall prey to the blizzard head
Wrapped my hand around the glass again
We all thought that I might change as I got older
Fell down and nothing bled
Wrapped in cotton alcohol again
To the hill I hear...
Mitski - "Carry Me Out" At night
On the roof top
I untie my hair
And watch from my plastic chair
As my dark hair
Unleashes the night
The scent of flowers
Still in bloom from morning shower
And I
Say your name
In hopes...
Girlpool - "Cut Your Bangs" Last night I saw your face in the hallowed light
You were standing taller than the mountain side
Your long hair flowed down in blues and whites
I just stood there, bathed in the quiet
No, you say...
Lucy Dacus - "Dream State..." We woke up to the thunder
We huddled under covers
We didn't say anything
If you hadn't come over
I would be so much colder
I would be much less confused
And then the water came
And washed it all...
Phoebe Bridgers - "I Know The End" Somewhere in Germany, but I can't place it
Man, I hate this part of Texas
Close my eyes, fantasize
Three clicks and I'm home
When I get back, I'll lay around
Then I'll get up and lay back down...
