The Hungry Wolf Lyrics
3 ContributorsThe Hungry Wolf LyricsI am the hungry wolf
And run endlessly with my mate
I see the gutter feed on the foolish
Outrun and kill the strong
At daybreak I roam
Awake to who follows me
I roam, I roam
I am the hungry wolf
And run endlessly with my mate
Welcome to the dripping jaws
The alter of your death
At daybreak I roam
Ready to tear up the world
I roam, I roam
The hungry wolf
Stares from the hill
At the villagers around the fire
She loves her mate
As he loves her
And they live together for life
I am the hungry wolf
And run endlessly with my mate
Look across the street, my friend
We're waiting for you to slow down
At daybreak I roam
Eyes in the back of my head
I roam, I roam
The hungry wolf
Stares from the hill
At the villagers around the fire
She loves her mate
As he loves her
And they live together for life
I am the hungry wolf
And run endlessly with my mate
I see the gutter feed on the foolish
Outrun and kill the strong
At daybreak I roam
Ready to tear up the world
I roam, I roam
Motel Room in My Bed Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Put the doorknob on my side
If you don't mind, I don't care
Put the doorknob on my side
It's self-locking, give me your key
[Refrain]
I go to bed soggy and forgetful
Hopefully not waking up so fitfully
[Verse 2]
I like coffee and I like tea
I like a pretty boy and he likes me
Put the doorknob on my side
It's self-locking, give me your key
[Refrain]
I go to bed soggy and forgetful
Hopefully not waking up so fitfully
[Chorus]
Motels do that with rubber sheets
So I can't sleep staring at my sheets
Or crying on my sheets
Or bleeding on the same
[Verse 3]
Put the doorknob on my side
If you don't mind, I don't care
A motel room in my bed
Put both door knobs on my side
[Refrain]
I go to bed soggy and forgetful
Hopefully not waking up so fitfully
[Chorus]
Motels do that with rubber sheets
So I can't sleep staring at my sheets
Or crying on my sheets
Or bleeding on the same
Riding With Mary Lyrics
3 ContributorsRiding With Mary LyricsThey can't go to sleep at four
The car is parked outside the door
Scars of a knife on his arm
Her husband knows they're together
Riding with Mary
Protection to pass
Riding with Mary
Protecting immaculate love
Rows of numbered doors behind
The car warms up, the street is clear
Clear and empty and green with lights
They talk and never stop moving
Riding with Mary
Protection to pass
Riding with Mary
Protecting immaculate love
He's sounding her name in his head
She's falling asleep next to his face
Her sister's getting married today
And the saints of Easter smile
Riding with Mary
Protection to pass
Riding with Mary
Protecting immaculate love
On the dashboard rides a figurine
It's a powerless sweet forgotten thing
So the next time you see a statue of Mary
Remember my sister was in a car
Riding with Mary
Protection to pass
Riding with Mary
Protecting immaculate love
Riding with Mary
Protection to pass
Riding with Mary
Protecting immaculate love
Under the Big Black Sun Lyrics
4 ContributorsUnder The Big Black Sun LyricsWhat I did on my vacation
For the last ten years
I took pictures of your town
Plaid perfume on my breath
I mean I've been drinking scotch
While touring through your town
Adultery makes you give things away it gets you confused
Adultery takes a one room vacation
Then it gets you alone
Turns into a hoonymoon scream
Then you have to change the sheets
Smoke in one hand looking for a light
Martini in the other hand
Pointing out midnight
Now that you pulled the school underwater
And drowned the prom
Which man will you save for this friday
You can put him in a fish pond
And watch him swim around
Then have a catholic dinner
If it isn't men it's death
It's the same old testament
At the cross her station keeping
Stood the mournful mother weeping
Where my man extended hung
Driven with nails to wood
Smoke in one hand looking for a drink
Drink in the other hand
Pointing out midnight
At my desk as you're sleeping
As the big deal of death
Kills me and starts leaving
Everybody asks me how i'm doing
I'm doing everything alone
Rave on children and try to sleep
Larks must sing grave, deep melodies
Happy that they die
The sly brown fox pulled up a glass
Pulled up a chair and yanked out my hair
When i tried to sit i fell down
When i woke up he was gone
So one has a smoke one has a drink
The man is gone
Mary's dead, good morning midnight!
