butch walker - a song for the metalheads
1...9...6...9
Press the tape recorder, let's get this all down real fast
Before the instant it became thought goes by
There's one more slow song left to write for the record
To make all the metalheads cry
I throw rocks but not rocking, stand there just mocking
With hands in their armpits that they'll later smell
When you live in the past, there's one thing that will last
Is resentment that time won't sit still
The record business is f**ked, it's kinda funny
It'll separate a boy from a man
You can buy every copy of your record with your money
But you'd be your only fan
If it's one thing my father said when he was younger
To a kid with a mullet who looked like his son
To want and to try is the difference why
Some people will walk and some run (thank you dad)
Sharpen up all your pencils, cause class will come early
There's so much you thought that you knew
While the b list celebrities all pay for their fame
They'll soak up what's left of the pool
While a kid in the corner becomes a savant
No one will care till he's dead
Or he falls from his grace with it all over the place
And a piece of it stuck in his head
butch walker - a song without a chorus
well there?s sand in my book
from writing on the beach
trying to find a song for you
that the ocean can only reach
and this beach is getting wider
than my train of thought is long
and each little grain of sand
is some other asshole poets song
so i?ll try to get this right
before the sunburn says i'm wrong,
says i?m wrong
i keep on shooting clever guns
that blow up in my face
and what good to say i?m sorry
when time it wont erase
all the times i hit erase
on every word you said to me
and just covered it up
like dogshit on a pretty city street
just to not piss off the neighbors
no wonder i cant sleep, i cant sleep
a song without a chorus,
this is my first attempt
cuz that would really bore us
and the title would go limp
but these words just keep on shooting
out my pen just like a gun
and i?m aiming at your ears
trying not to come undone
cuz you love the smell of gunshots
and the company of one.. no fun
they?ll probably say this sucks
but i don?t really care
and i used the ?gunshot? word
so it wont get on the air
while the rappers do a driveby
and smoke crack then praise the lord
while a white-bread singer songwriter
has to stand here looking bored
and while i?m at it, i should mention
that all the guns i used in my
songs were fake...
not real... plastic..
fuck... get real... blast it...
i still love you
butch walker - all going down
burnt to a crisp i cant sleep from the sound
of the train of thought inside of me
so i grab the keys as the clock
it starts to smile
5 in the am seems so surreal
where the red lights are friends
with the automobiles
and just want you to stop
and say hi for awhile
cuz we just want to be heard
and act like we?re better
than anyone else or not to feel lower
so laugh when they cry
jump when they?re down
smile when they frown
we?re all going down..
we?re all going down
so take a hi-five from another zombie
that walks in the bar
straight out of a movie
where 10 dollar drinks
are the highlight of his week
and all of the kitty cats
get out their catty kits
sit and they talk shit
bout this bitch and that bitch
and makes me feel a little better about me
butch walker - atl
Born from hippies back in Â?69
I was bored by 1992
I walked into a recruitment office a year before that
Said Â?son we've been waiting for you'
Discharged from a Gulf War the very same year
I came home with a car and a tomb
Of cigarettes and mixtapes and bullets from a gun
That my dead best friend never could use
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
Â?Cause Atlanta, I'm falling like most people do
And I need all your ground to survive
Wasted and down trodden along the hidden vein
I cried myself blind at the sight
Of the old shopping center where we used to ride
Now condos as sterile as I
So I bought me an old Airstream for 3,000 bucks
From a drug dealer I used to owe
And I thought to myself as I slept off a high
The irony is starting to show
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
Â?Cause Atlanta, I'm falling like some people do
And I need all your ground to survive
Drove out to Asheville, Â?cause that's where you were
Where you married into money and pills
And I wanted so bad to be good with you now
But the fact is that you never will
Cause some become lovers because of sex
And some, you know, they just become friends
Hey
In our case, we just became bad at it all
And never got good at it again
Oh Atlanta, please need me like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
Â?Cause Atlanta, I'm suffocating like some people do
And I need all your air to survive
butch walker - atlanta
Born from hippies in 1969
Bored by 1992
I walked into a recruitment office they said
Son we've been looking for you
Discharged from the gulf war the very same year
Came home with a carton or two
Of cigarettes, mixtapes, and bullets from a gun
My dead best friend never did use
Oh atlanta please need me
Like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
Cuz atlanta I've fallen
Like some people do
And I need all your ground to survive
(cuz atlanta I'm smothered like
Some people get
And I need all your air to survive)
Wasted, downtrodden, and lonely in vain
I cried myself to sleep at the site
Of the old shopping center where we used to ride
Now condos as sterile as I
I bought an old airstream for 3000 bucks
From a drug dealer I used to owe
I thought to myself as I slept off a high
The irony's starting to show
Oh atlanta please need me
Like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
Cuz atlanta I've fallen
Like some people do
And I need all your ground to survive
(cuz atlanta I'm smothered like
Some people get
And I need all your air to survive)
I drove out to asheville cuz that's where you were
Where you married into money and pills
And I wanted so bad to be good with you now
But the fact is that you never will
Because some become lovers because of the sex
Sometimes they just become friends
In our case, I just became bad at it all
And never got good at it again
Oh atlanta please need me
Like I needed you
Let your sweaty embrace open wide
Cuz atlanta I've fallen
Like some people do
And I need all your ground to survive
(cuz atlanta I'm smothered like
Some people get
And I need all your air to survive)
butch walker - best thing you never had
Hello how you doing?
What's it like to ruin all my self esteem
Let me blow off some steam
For 5 years I've waited,
So why am I jaded to get back at you
What makes it cool
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had
And it seems like a loss somehow
My heart got lost on the way to my head
And my brain cells are dead
And the craziness shows
Now I start to go when the green turns to red
And I should be dead
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad
But I can't like someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
My heart is all splattered your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
The best thing that you never had
Like the toilet seat never got lifted
And I pissed on your confidence
When you weren't around, how can that be?
Don't turn this around
You were the one
Who drove my ass right to the ground
When you act like nothing ever happened
I feel like I should feel bad, and I can't like
Someone who thought
They're the only one that mattered
While my heart got shattered like romantic roadkill
My heart is all splattered your ego got fatter
And I hope that you're flattered
Cause you broke this down
You broke this down
The best thing, the best thing,
The best thing that you never had
You never had...
butch walker - bethamphetamine
Hey little party girl,
Where do you wanna go,
I didnt come from your scene,
So many people that I should know
Like every door guy in this city,
Only looks at you cuz you?re pretty,
And the boutique girls and theme night druggies,
Take you in the back
(You put your head on the mirror)
And ooh baby keeps it with her now,
And ooh baby?s got a hand full of things she calls excuses,
Yeah you?re real pretty pretty,
Your?re pretty strung out for a girl
Maybe there?s a gas station open,
And a little money on my card,
So I can buy some half and half,
Cuz even the mornings they seem so hard
And look at you, you never fell to bed,
You?re still typing on your phone w?yer cigarette
Saying I should stop being so cynical,
Cuz we?re hotter when we don?t give a damn,
(so smash yer head in the mirror)
And ooh baby keeps it with her now,
And ooh baby?s got a purse full of things she calls excuses,
Yeah you?re real pretty pretty,
Your?re pretty strung out for a girl
Ooh baby keeps it with her now
And ooh baby?s got a hand full of things she calls excuses,
Yeah you?re real pretty pretty,
Pretty pretty baby now,
And ooh baby keeps it with her now
And ooh baby?s got a mouth full of things she calls excuses,
Yeah you?re real pretty pretty,
Your?re pretty strung out for a girl
butch walker - bodegas and blood
Walking into a bodega while she's cleaning out her nose
Stuck here in kenmare square without a place to go
And it's a beautiful day
And she's a beautiful face
And she'll be fine
And the car wash water oozes down the sidewalk city street
Runs like the flow of blood from her legs down to the bathroom sink
And as she looks at the street
And then she looks at her feet
And she is fine
So it seems
Yeah
And it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
And mr. harris runs the consignment store where she likes to get her jeans
He was a regular at studio 54 hanging out with the other queens
And he's the last of the five
To make it out alive
And he is fine
So it seems
Yeah
And it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
Little girl, she was an orphan she lost her folks when she was young
Nobody never gave her nothing, she taught herself to get things done
But if she smiles at everyone
And she is made and loved
And we are fine
Yes we are
Oh and it's days like these
That keep me on my winning streak
It's all a part of me
butch walker - cigarette ligther love song
I know you're not asleep
I can feel you moving over there
You've been playing with the seam
In your worn out underwear
My lips are raw as hell
From biting on them just to stay awake
It's not like I'm gonna need them, you won't be around
To see them bleed and break
Chorus:
All that I do, comes back to you
So I'll just think about you
'til there's nothing in my head
All I can do, is try not to screw this up again
And just be friends, I'd rather be dead
I drove out of east Atlanta
With a headache the size of my car
I called to say I was okay anyway
'Cause I know how you are
I'm like a movie without an ending
You know I've got nowhere to go
And it makes me wanna throw up
To see you wanna give up
More than you'll ever know
(Chorus)
Bridge:
Everything's supposed to have a happy ending
But the record keeps skipping and the needle keeps bending
Like the road I'm driving to the bridge that has no end
I wanna take back everything that I've broken
But the bridges behind me are burning and smokin'
I guess this is the end
(Chorus)
butch walker - closer to the truth and farther from the sky
Ribbons went flying out the window
As we drove down the interstate
Sex was something so brand new
It was hard as hell to wait
She made faces at the goddamn rednecks
And said "look at you boy, you must worship satan"
Just because i had the same long hair
As the jesus in all their paintings
Every church just made me scared
Of words like servant and faith and congregation
In a world with so many answers left
Why do i need so many explanations
To get closer to the truth and further from the sky
And the static singes the speakers
Like a thousand hymns of inspiration
The road just winds through the canyon
Like a big black snake headed for salvation
And i'm getting closer to the truth and further from the sky
A roadside venue with paper menus
In a town that forgot its own name
We were hungry for anything that had a pulse
As we freed ourselves from the rain
There's a disgruntled metalhead playing guitar
For a pop singer up on the screen
With his guitar held high and his head held low
He just wants a chance to be seen
And the static singes the speakers
Like a thousand hymns of inspiration
The road just winds through the canyon
Like a big black snake headed for salvation
And i'm getting closer to the truth and further from the sky
Well he tells me at the bar
That's he on his last leg
That he used to have it all in his hands
That the girls don't think much of him these days
It's just hard for him to understand
Cause he's a little bit older and a little bit thin
But he's still got his heart in a sling
And we paid for the drinks and the bartender drinks
And it couldn't be more late, yeah we're all so late
And the static singes the speakers
Like a thousand hymns of inspiration
The road just winds through the canyon
Like a big black snake headed for salvation
And i'm getting closer to the truth and further from the sky
butch walker - closest thing to you i m gonna find
California girls they have a way
Of moving their mouths just a certain way
Saying things that always seem so right
But when the shine wears off at the end of the day
I'm left with the tab and not a word to say
â??cause I see your face when they turn out my light
So I keep another night by this fire and drink some wine
It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find
New york ladies that drive men crazy
Can't keep up I'm from the south and lazy
This town stays open too late for these old bones
And maybe it's because itâ??s got too many faces
Crammed like fishes in compact places
This is why all of them seem desperate and alone
So I pick back up the cigarettes but only for the night
It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find
Heeeeeey!!
Georgia girls took all my pennies
Everytime I come back I fall for many
Wake up and wonder why I ever left here
When we spend all night with a drink to the face
Get caught up in politics and race
I just smile and show the cotton further down my ear
And my hands are full of the sticky sap from your backyard georgia pine
It's the closest thing to you I'm gonna find.
butch walker - day drunk
I got day drunk and watched as my city got younger
The front steps of fort lofts across from the theatre
Where I was a contender, none of that matters
The kids have new heroes and new dreams to get shattered
I wouldn?t change a thing about the way it went down
16 years of memories built on a town
That nobody will know just how a cool kid could drown
In a pool of his own hype and beer
Goodbye, goodbye
It?s the most perfect time and the weather is perfection
To watch as my father battles an infection
My life in the dark in now bright as reflection
The store window he worked ?77
Millions of snapshots will shoot through my brain
Push through the dark like that underground train
Just as real as the blood pumping fast through my veins
Just as real as I?m standing here
Goodbye, goodbye (x2)
butch walker - dominoes
sitting with the dog
trying to clear the fog of a
memory of the last time
that i saw her face
50 yrs of time an accident
would take my mind and shortly
after take the wife
away from me
everybody knows
memories will keep us alive
and some just wont go away
(just cant be erased)
but if i remember one today
let it be of Grace
the catskills are all frozen
playing dominoes and i can
hear a voice reminding me
that i?m her hero
i can find myself able from
the chair across the table
to remember that it wasn?t
always empty
everybody knows
memories will keep us alive
and some just wont go away
but if there's a memory left of Grace
let it come back today
i see her beside me
as the grandkids they remind me
that she?s in the cemetery
that we played in as kids
they just think i?m crazy
but the things she tells me lately
are the only things that i cannot forget
butch walker - don t move
Good morning sunlight
As I get used to you
It's all gonna be all right
I did all I can do
And as I'm waiting for those eyes
To say what's on your mind
I finally think I've found the words to say...
So baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all
So many black and white
Are made to be so blue
We've all got our wars to fight
But I won't fight with you
If I could just get your attention
I'd never let it go
Until you've felt what I am gonna say....
So baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all
[Bridge]
Oh, why's it gotta be that everybody's gotta see the sadness
Everybody's lonely, we don't have to be lonely
Baby, no baby oh, I can move you like an earthquake
Listen to me as my hands shake
Cause I want you, I need you
I can't live without you, baby
Baby don't move at all
Cause you're about to break my fall
Stay where you are, staring at the stars
Don't ever move at all
butch walker - dublin crow
Un, deux, trois, quatre
Dublin crow, dublin crow
Tell me everything you know
Show me all the life I've seen through your eyes
Take my soul, take my soul
Higher than you've every flown
Drop me right into the water from the sky
When I submerge up from the ocean covered in that muddy kelp
If I'm drowning please don't save me cuz I got to save myself
Fly back home to tell the others that I always needed help until today yea
And I'll finally find my way
English crow, english crow
Does the sunlight ever show?
There's been rain for 40 days inside my heart
Bitter cold, bitter cold
I just want the world to know
That I lost the finish line right from the start
Can you sing off my hangover?
Can you break away this crust?
For I am the weakest scarecrow in a field that's made of dust
For I promise if you help me to my feet to board the bus I'll leave today yea
And I'll finally find my way
Scottish crow, scottish crow
Does this tattoo really show
That my bloodline has been your line all along?
And just when you think you know yourself
That's when you will outgrow.
And you'll settle in that tree where you belong.
Did I ever really know, god?
Was it just a lie or truth?
Was I raised to think that I would never ever lose my youth?
Well I thought that guns were made for killing pretty things like you...
I've got to say yea
That I've finally found my way.
