Keep ´em Coming

Alkaline Trio
(album: Maybe I´ll Catch Fire)

14 hours ahead, a head that´s heavier than lead. and I´ve got toothpicks in my eyes. a smile more yellow than the sky. I´ve got a song stuck in my head, one that I miss more than my bed. It´s a song sung from a fallen milkman who´s drinking bleach instead. I´m much like him. 14 hours unfed, I spent the last cents in my head. They´re worth much less than pennies now. Food for one thought shared with a crowd. and I´ve got a painting in my head, a deeper blue bled thicker red. More red than Bloody Mary´s coast to coast. I hate flying I said, that´s what I said. Sad, sorry excuse. Just like everything that made her smile and everything I use. I won´t go back to the way it was. I´m now huffing gas and sniffing paint to take away this buzz that I call you. 14 hours ahead, a head that´s heavier than lead. Toothpicks pry open eyes. a smile more yellow than the sky. I´ve got a song stuck in my head, one that I miss more than my bed. It´s a song sung from a fallen milkman who´s drinking bleach instead. I´m much like him. 14 hours unfed, I spent the last cents in my head. They´re worth much less than pennies now. Food for one thought shared with a crowd.

Just like everything that made her smile and everything I use. I won´t go back to the way it was. cause I´m now huffing gas and sniffing paint to take away this buzz that I call you.
