Faithless Street

Throwing rocks at a window
Stumble into a telphone pole
While the light shines down on your person
Filtering through all your aversions
Love will not find you tonight
When you're preaching love, thinking love
Holding back
What were you thinking
When black arrows
Shot at your bleeding heart?

Looking into the mirror
Don't like what i see
Ain't looking like me
I want to be near her
There's no way in hell
And there's no time to tell
Love will not find you tonight
When you're preaching love, thinking love
Holding back
What were you thinking
When black arrows
Shot at your bleeding heart?

Can you hear that lonesome moanin'
Is that you or is that me
My broken heart ain't aching for nothing
That i can't touch or i can't see

And do you hear that lonesome cryin'
Thought i made it stop its singin'
But my hands lay there on the bottle
And i just drank till my heart would be
Too drunk to dream.

So baby you can leave if you wanna
There ain't no drinkin' when the bottle is dry
Sugar, you can leave if you want to
I ain't got no more tears to cry

Do you hear that lonesome shuffle
Of my feet walking out of the bar
And i stumble down the same damn streets
My daddy done stumbled before

So baby you can leave if you wanna
All the flowers in your garden have died
Baby, i'm gonna have to warn you
I ain't got no more tears to cry

Well sugar, you can leave if you want to
There ain't no drinkin' when the bottle is dry
Baby, i'm gonna have to warn you
I ain't got no more tears to cry

Well, i'm saving this dress for my wedding day
Momma wouldn't have it any other way
She says when she married, her waist was twenty three
I guess i'll never wear it anyway
I don't believe i care to marry
Though i cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery
Simply a faster way to die

I'm saving all my money for my wedding day
You know my momma wouldn't have it any other way
She says when she married, she didn't' have a dime
But i guess i'll spend that money some other way

Because i don't believe i care to marry
Though i cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery
Simply a faster way to die

Well, i'm saving my best thing for my wedding day
Because my poppa wouldn't have it any other way
He says if i lose it early, i'll have thrown my life away
But i swear i'll use my cherry my own way

I don't believe i care to marry
Though i cannot explain exactly why
It somehow seems to me that matrimony is misery
Simply a faster way to die.

I got sixteen days
One for every time i've gone away
One for every time i should have stayed
You should have worn my wedding ring
I got sixteen days
Fifteen of those are nights
Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights
Its way back to your side

The ghost has got me running
The ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

The ghost has got me running
The ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

I got sixteen days
Got a bible and a rosary
God, i wish that you were close to me
Guess i owe you an apology

I got sixteen days
Fifteen of those are nights
Can't sleep when the bed sheet fights
Its way back to your side

The ghost has got me running
Yeah, the ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

The ghost has got me running
Yeah, the ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away...

Old tin cups, little paper dolls
All wrapped up, in ribbons, bowed with hearts
Old tin cups, and little paper dolls
All wrapped up, in the ribbons of your heart

The ghost has got me running
Yeah, the ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

The ghost has got me running
Yeah, the ghost has got me running
Away from you, away from you, away from you.

Sixteen days
I got sixteen days
It's like before i hang

Why should i hate you?
After all, it's been so long
Since i've lived in town.
Let it go for now.

Have a drink at your favorite bar till dark.
Stumble into empty baseball park.
Strike one and strike two...
I guess we're both out.

Stumble past the record store
End up at the movies.
Try and think of something else.
Nothing's comin' to me.

You do this to me.
You do this and i oblige.
And i fight it.

Why should i miss you?
After all, it's been so long
Since i felt your kiss.
Did it come to this?

Stumble past the record store
End up at the movies.
Try and think of something else.
Nothing's comin' to me.

I let you do this to me.
I must be crazy.
I must be crazy.
I must be crazy.

I must be.....
I must be.
I must be.

If angels are messengers from god,
Please send one down to me
If angels are messengers from god,
I wrote a letter he should read
Been living on faithless street all by myself
Work your whole life for someone else
Trying to find sanction, christ above man
He never shed his peace on this land
So i started this damn country band

Been living on faithless street all by myself

So i started this damn country band
'cause punk rock was too hard to sing.

well, he was nearly died when he returned to the town he'd come from
He's brown bagging it tonight behind some tavern.
Somebody wrecked his life, and i'll bet you it was his darlin'
Somebody wrecked his life, and i'll bet you it was his darlin'
So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang
Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang
Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands...
The same hands that had once touched her face

Well, he was nearly died when he returned to the town he'd come from
He's hanging out drinking beer with his brother-in-law
He was a drinker at night, and in the morning he was unnerving
He was a drinker full time, the day that he lost his darlin'

So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang
Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang
Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands...
The same hands that had once touched her face

So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang
Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang
Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands...
The same hands that had once touched her face

So he drank like a river when the wedding bells rang
Watched from the steeple as the choir girls sang
Died in a gutter on his feet and his hands...
The same hands that had once touched her face

Well traveling to the point
That i can't stop it
Get so familiar
Never get enough
Talk about it all the time
Just drop it
Damage on your pretty little eyes says it all

I can't stand to be under your wing
I can't fly or sink or swim
It's a lot like falling down
Standing up, and i'm falling down
Your my cup (?) till i understand
Wait a minute and see the pieces don't fit this time

Well yesterday's news is what i have been reading
See you at the comet
And i end up needing
Know if you were thinking it could have been
It was nothing it's cause nothing's what you did

I can't stand to be under your wing
I can't fly or sink or swim
It's a lot like falling down
Standing up, and i'm falling down
Your my cup till i understand
Wait a minute and see the pieces don't fit this time

Well i can't stand to be under your wing
I can't fly or sink or swim
It's a lot like falling down
I'm standing up, falling down
Your my cup till i understand
Wait a minute and see the pieces don't fit this time

Well i tried to find something
Something to hold on to
I thought it was you cause i'm sick and tired
Of trying to make something
Something out of nothing
I guess since you were bluffing
Now i think i'm losing my mind
The pain in my heart
Was it worth the price?
The pain in my heart
Was it worth the time i wasted on you?
You're giving me the top dollar blues

And i gave you it all, all
All that i could give you
You've taken what i've given
Ynd thrown it all away
Like it's nothing
Never meant nothing
Now i'm left with nothing
What an awful price i've paid
The pain in my heart,
Was it worth the price?
The pain in my heart,
Was it worth the time i wasted on you?
You're giving me the top dollar blues.

I've bet all my money and that's how it goes
You ran a good race
But you lost just by a nose
It's true.
Baby, you're giving me the top dollar blues.
The top dollar blues,
I gave you it all, all
All that i could give you
And the top dollar blues
Top dollar blues

Lo-fi tennessee mountain angel come back to me
Met you in a bar when i was drinking
You stood next to me
You say you wanna play country
But you're in a punk rock band
You say you wanna play country
But you're in a punk rock bank
I didn't know you then
I didn't know you then
I didn't know you then

What may seem like love may soon fall apart
You don't practice what you preach
You don't finish what you start
Your lies have got me tryin' to mend a broken heart
Please don't speak to me again
You keep telling me you're sorry
But i just don't give a damn
You keep telling me you're sorry
Well, i'm never gonna listen to a single word you're sayin.

What may seem like love may soon fall apart
The student shouldn't speak and interrupt his teacher's thought
There's a lesson to be learned about being true to heart
Please don't speak to me again

But i just don't give a damn
You keep telling me you're sorry
Well, i'm never gonna listen to a single word you're sayin.
