"When Your Number Isn't Up" lyrics
"When Your Number Isn't Up"
Did you call for the night porter?
You smell the blood running warm
I stay close to this frozen border
So close I can hit it with a stone
Now something crawls right up my spine
That I always got to follow
Turn out the lights
Don't see me drawn and hollow
Just blood running warm
No one needs to tell you that
There's no use for you here anymore
And where are your friends?
They've gone away
It's a different world and they left you to this
To janitor the emptiness
So let's get it on
When the sun is finally going down
And you're overdue to follow
But you're still above the ground
What you've got coming
Is hard to swallow
Like blood running warm
Did they call for the night porter?
And smell the blood, blood running warm
Well, I've been waiting at this frozen border
So close you could hit it with a stone

Far away far from pain
So you'll aim...
J Mascis - "Several Shades Of Why" There's no peace, little comfort, no one's shoulder
Minor inklings of a time that made you colder
I'm not saying much I tried hard that's all I do
Tried and waited then got tired, that's about it...
Mercury Rev - "Big Boss Man" Big boss man
Can you hear me when I call?
Big boss man
Can you hear me when I call?
Oh, you ain't so big
You're just tall, that's all
You got me working, boss man, working 'round the clock
I want me...
Grinderman - "Go Tell The Women" We done our thing
We have evolved
We're up on our hind legs
The problem solved
We are artists
We are mathematicians
Some of us hold extremely high positions
But we are tired
We're hardly...
