The Black Keys Album

You're just like time
Except you can feel the shame
All hands on deck, now
The sea is getting rough again
You see me out your window
Even when you close the blinds
And all you ever wanted
Was someone to treat you
Nice and kind

Take a step before running
Take a breath now before you die
When you work the streets, darlin'
Make sure
Your sneaker laces they get tied
I'll be your black bird darlin'
Hanging on your telephone wire
Flap my wings, oh yeah
And set your heart to fly

I was a movin' man
In my younger days
But I've grown out
Of my ramblin' ways

I left that road
So far behind
And now I know
I got mine

So baby when I rolled
I rolled deep
So much so
I couldn't get no sleep

Rock and roll hustle
All the time
And now I know baby
I got mine

Kings and sons of God
Travel all
The way to Earth
Coming restless mile
Easing all of them
All of them for you

Strange times
Here

Scratch you
In the square
Meant so much
When we first met
People come
From far and near
Bless them me
Bless them everyone

Strange times
Here
Lyrics
Stay here
To dry your tear
I will be the one
To pull you
Through the mirror
Before you come
Before you come undone

Strange times
Here

I heard you threw your man around
Pick him up just to let him down
It's a shame baby but i always knew
It's just the way your gonna do

Just a psychotic girl
And I won't get lost in your world

Friday night. The party lights
You were acting like everything was alright
Later on with no one around
Had me fighting for air laying on the ground

Just a psychotic girl
And I won't get lost in your world

I thought you'd changed but I shoulda known
You play nice for a time then do me wrong
I thought long and hard 'bout what I should say
But when I was through it just came out this way

Just a psychotic girl
And I won't get lost in your world

Said the moon was ours
Yeah
Said the moon was ours
The hell with the day
The sunlight is always
Gonna take love away
Brings up suspicions
And alibies
But I can see blue
Tear-blinded eyes
Lies, lies, lies
Ohh, lies

I got a stone
Where my heart should be
I got a stone
Where my heart should be
And nothing I do
Will make you love me

I'd leave this time
LyricsBreak all my ties
Be no more
Use for any disguise
Lies, lies, lies
Ohh, lies

I wanna die
Without pain
I wanna die
Oh, without pain
All this deception
I just can't maintain
The sun, moon
The stars in the sky
It'd hurt me too bad
If you said goodbye
Lies, lies, lies
Ohh, lies

It happened when I heard her name
The same 'ol thoughts crept back again
Oh they grew, yeah they grew

Somewhere in my sorry state
The lightn' struck that old iron gate
Oh it's true, yeah it's true

With snow in tow, the winter winds
Smacks you on your cheeks again
Oh it stings, oh it stings

Remember how I held you near
And whispered in your precious ear
Sweet things, yeah sweet things

It happened when I heard her name
The same 'ol thoughts crept back again
Oh they grew, yeah they grew, oh

It happened when I heard her name
The same 'ol thoughts crept back again
Oh they grew, yeah they grew

Somewhere in my sorry state
The lightn' struck that old iron gate
Oh it's true, yeah it's true

With snow in tow, the winter winds
Smacks you on your cheeks again
Oh it stings, oh it stings

Remember how I held you near
And whispered in your precious ear
Sweet things, yeah sweet things

It happened when I heard her name
The same 'ol thoughts crept back again
Oh they grew, yeah they grew, oh

No matter where you been
Those people try to do you in
Every day till dawn
There's some thievin' goin' on

Oh no, it hurts me so
Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to bring
It's just the same old thing

You got a callous heart
From being torn apart
Now you labor every day
Your love life drifts away

Oh no, it hurts me so
Just the same old thing
Just the same old thing
No matter how much love you try to bring
It's just the same old thing

Gone like the wind
And the state it put him in
To hold his head high
When he really wanted to die

And you know the difference it makes
And you know the difference it takes
Is love, so he won't break

He's crazy from the pain
And can't get hurt again
If he ever falls
I'd be sorry for us all

And you know the difference it makes
And you know the difference it takes
Is love, so he won't break

Right around the way
Is where they go to pay
For remedies and pills
To ease their ills

And you know the difference it makes
And you know the difference it takes
Is love, so he won't break

With guilt that no man should carry
Heavy enough for me to get buried
I feel death on the road tonight
It's got me to where I wanna run and hide

Oh I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all
Those days gone

These days I'm so slow
All these thoughts and no where to go
My aim used to be so true
And my world had a place in it just for you

Oh I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all
Those days gone

Excuse me I gotta go
Can't stand to be here anymore, no
I'm sick and I gotta go to bed
If I stay here I'm better off dead

Oh I used to dream of oceans and streams
Flowing and growing strong
Where have all
Those days gone

Went around the way for you
Did all the things you asked me to
I thought it was the perfect day
To see just open love to say

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be

I headed out to Lester Hill
But that just made me weaker still
She's got the kind of love I need
The kind that's never good on me

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be

Walked into the battle blind
It happens almost all the time
The yard is kinda overgrown
And all those happy times are gone

But it doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
That things ain't like they used to be

It doesn't mean a thing to me
It doesn't mean a thing to me
And it's about time you see
Things ain't like they used to be
