Curse On You 03:10
Went from 117 to 38 With a 22 in between them Now you're showing up in my dreams I wake up screaming Powdered skirt with a lace-like nose I must be confused Cuz I thought I saw you on the interstate Selling day-old blues You got a curse on me These days I don't even bleed You act like Cleopatra Made James Dean You might be a lot of things But you ain't my Queen Head you got a new Hercules With a grave-like face Held him up till he got close enough Now I know he knows my name Cut your hair for the silver screen And you hid the ring Made a call to California Like a cellphone teen I got a curse on you Cuz I know how you move You might be Cleopatra But I am the moon You might be a lot of things But you're looking confused You call me up just to let me down I ain't naive I used to write you as muse Now I don't even think about you when I sing You got a curse on you Walking around with the tabloid blues You might be confident In everything you do But I am the mystery That lived to tell the truth You might be a lot of things But you ain't nothing new

Standing here cuz I got no place to go Didn't mean to wind up at your door Night gets hot yet I'm cold again With everything that's ever been Running again from the Great Nothing Everyone's got a laugh upon my back I'm a glance over the shoulder kind of panic attack Night gets cold yet I'm fevering With everything that's never been Running again from the Great Nothing You've been walking around like I've been running through your mind Talking loud methodically unkind Night gets lost yet I'm here again With everything that could have been Running again from the Great Nothing Burning like an effigy at the speed of hell Great Nothing's got me like a notch on it's belt I can't scream and I don't yell Keep on running, never fail

You're getting tired of spinning around After years of throwing your love around, just to be let down Always wondered why your feet won't let you leave the ground What is it that you have not found? You always try an' learn the songs that tell the story well But they don't match the way you yell, cuz you never yell Guess it's getting on time better go on and give'em hell Cold cut breath break, pray tell How many times are you gonna leave Walking away like a new moon, that you think no one can see You've got a heart alright It just beats out of rhythm In how many ways can you hold your tongue Before you've held it for too long, until it's gone That ain't the way the kind of love you need is found Even hurricanes settle down How many times are you gonna leave Walkin' away like a new moon, that you think no one can see You've got a heart alright It just beats out of rhythm

I can't keep pretending like the moon ain't full When the salts still burning out the diamonds below You got the whole damn castle but you're missing the key Now the lights have gone out and we're down on the street You've got me believing in what stray dogs think As I'm dreaming like a turncoat 'bout the Hollywood heat You still break for a wild time As you try to fix what you broke with a fire How much do you need to feel alright How can you breath with a dress sewn so tight How many lies have told to the evening sky How is it so hard for you to smile Now the payphone's dead and the mailbox it broke Just some numbers undialed, letters unwrote But there stands a sleeve with a heart in its hand Tell me why can't you believe in love in command How much do you need to feel alright How can you breath with a dress sewn so tight How many lies have you told to the evening sky How is it so hard for you to smile Baby spin a record and wake me at 6 Now the house is dark and I'm late for the gig Where have you gone, baby where have you been Guess it ain't a game I'm destined to win I guess I'll go down wondering How much do you need to feel alright How can you breath with a dress sewn so tight How many lies have you told to the evening sky How is it so hard for you to smile How is it so hard for you to smile How is it so hard for you to smile How is it so hard for you to smile How is it so hard for you
