lyrics
Take those words
Drag them through the sand
Take the water
Pour it down the ditch
Take a look at what pools at the end
Bring down your glass
Your favorite one
You know the one I’m talking about
Your favorite one
Dip it, not once
Not just twice
Dip it three times and smile
Hold your breath and toss it in the air
Watch our world shatter
What the hell?
Our love didn’t matter
Let it reunite with the sand
You
Why do you need me?
Why…
do you play with me?
For the spectacle?
For the better days?
Pleasure, baby?
But, maybe…
I can show off that I know better, so…
take off that
take off that face
Dirt road of my creation guides your feet
Poison food I grow is the food you eat
You say so…
so you know that I believe
Every word you say…
is the life I need
Pinched nerves
nervous feelings
Cash in all of the above
and give it to the meek
who understand a little more about love
And take the shit to nowhere…
‘cause that’s somewhere that I won’t be
You thought I could take a joke…
but that joke took everything from me
You
Why do you need me?
Why…
do you play with me?
For the spectacle?
For the better days?
Pleasure, baby?
But, maybe…
I can show off that I know better, so…
take off that
take off that face
You
Why do you need me?
Why do you…
Why do you play with me?
For the spectacle?
For the better days?
Pleasure, baby?
Pleasure, baby?
I can show off that I know better, so…
take off that
take off that face
Drag them through the sand
Take the water
Pour it down the ditch
Take a look at what pools at the end
Bring down your glass
Your favorite one
You know the one I’m talking about
Your favorite one
Dip it, not once
Not just twice
Dip it three times and smile
Hold your breath and toss it in the air
Watch our world shatter
What the hell?
Our love didn’t matter
Let it reunite with the sand
You
Why do you need me?
Why…
do you play with me?
For the spectacle?
For the better days?
Pleasure, baby?
But, maybe…
I can show off that I know better, so…
take off that
take off that face
Dirt road of my creation guides your feet
Poison food I grow is the food you eat
