"You're My Incentive" lyrics
"You're My Incentive"
Your bearings are shot
And your car don't work like she used to
Your friends don't call and they don't even bother
With offering excuses
The tv is on but its always on so its useless
Its just the awful news and the sorry truth
Tho we're definetely sinking
So I wouldn't hold my breath if I were you
You'll just hurt your chest and your face will turn bright blue
This is how its gonna be
This is how its gonna be
This is how it will be and there's nothing that we can do
And if you start believing then I'll stop holding my breath too
You've been praying for change but you ain't been to church since the 10th grade
And you cry at your job don't believe in your voting
Never celebrate your birthday
So you set up for dinner to make you feel less desperate and worthless
But your dad gets drunk so your mom throws a fit
While your man hits on the waitress
So I wouldn't waste my time if I were you
You'll just snap your spot and strip away your youth
This is how its gonna be
This is how its gonna be
This is how this will be and there's nothing we can do
If you start believing then I'll stop wasting my time too
Cause you're my incentive and if you go I'll go too

Into rags or in the hole
And our bruises are coming
But we will never fold
And I was your silver lining
As the story goes
I was your silver lining
But now I'm gold
Hooray...
Bright Eyes - "Lua" I know that it is freezing but I think we have to walk
I keep waving at the taxis; they keep turning their lights off
But Julie knows a party at some actor's west side loft
Supplies are endless in...
Anthony Green - "She Loves Me So" I keep writing myself into ruts
It's all around us
Get naked and get into bed right away
I keep writing myself into ruts
Make it all seem so much longer
But soon, you'll be far away
Just keep those...
The Front Bottoms - "Twin Size Mattress" This is for the lions living in the wiry broke down frames of my friends bodies
When the flood water comes, it ain't gonna be clear. It's gonna look like mud
But I will help you swim
I will help you...
Los Campesinos! - "Hate For The Island" (Recall the time)
We straddled your windowpane
(Smoked the last)
Of the weed that sent you insane
In a public loo
In a borough of London
That I won't mention
You phoned me in Minnesota
Said you had...
