The Damnwells Album

I've got doubts I can't even count.
I've got mirrors that take me apart.
I've got blues, a nothing revolt.
I've got songs that stall when they start.
I've got you babe.
Diamonds and pearls, babe.
I've got you girl, that's all I need.

I've got rockets from Brooklyn to Goal.
I've got nightmares about waking up.
I've got Senators I never consult.
I've got a wintering heart in a lead coat.
I've got you, babe.
More than a feeling, babe.
I've got you, girl, that's all I need.

*Guitar*

I've got black bones, wrinkling.
I've got walls, and walls, and walls.
I've got friends I only insult.
I've got so many people I need to call.
But I've got you, babe.
Late, our love, babe.
I've got you babe.
I want you to want me, babe.
I've got you girl, that's all I need.

I've got symbols and idols, everywhere.
I've got no good news, and a family disease.
I've got true things that come back corrupt.
I've got bad manners, I never say please.
But I've got you, babe.
Don't stop believin', babe.
I've got you, babe.
Kick-start my heart, babe.
I've got you babe.
Sweet child of mine, babe.
I've got you babe.
Why are we startin' something, babe?
I've got you babe. (x7)
Yeah, I've got you babe.

It's been days, months, and years since your tongue-tied, not so awful,
Got me high, left me dry.
I was cold, driving tears, of the double yellow bloodlines.
Where I tried, and I lied.

I'll be your accidental man,
You be my circumstantial lover.
I'm here to ruin all your plans,
I'm here to steal you from your mother.
I'll be your accidental man,
You be my worst kept secret.
I'll come and take you by the hand.
But you take it on and keep it.

Go and say what you will,
All these French words seem to fail you every time.
Get online, Kiss my cheek, Ring my ear.
Every weakness, I'll be with you.
You're so fine,
You're not mine.

I'll be your accidental man,
You be my circumstantial lover.
I'm here to ruin all your plans,
I'm here to steal you from your mother.
I'll be your accidental man,
You be my worst kept secret.
I'll come and take you by the hand.
But you can take it on and keep it.

I'll be your accidental man,
You be my circumstantial lover.
I'm here to ruin all your plans,
I'm here to steal you from your mother.
I'll be your accidental man,
You be my worst kept secret.
I'll come and take you by the hand.
But you take it on and keep it.

I'll be your accidental man,
You be my circumstantial lover.
I'm here to ruin all your plans,
I'm here to steal you from your mother.
I'll be your accidental man,
You be my worst kept secret.

But you take it on and keep it.
I'll be your accidental man.
I'll be your accidental man.
I'll be your accidental man.
I'll be your accidental man.

Honey I know it's late,
But I'm on a roll with you.
I'm on a roll with you.
The sugar is on.

Honey I know your faith
Is making a ghost of you.
It's making a ghost of you.
So why don't you let me take you home?

So come on surrender to this here pretender,
For once in your life.
Don't dare consider a cold, hungry shiver,
‘Cause I'm your fire tonight.
I'm your contender for cheap silly splendor,
And you're my restless bride.
And you don't have to like me to love me tonight.

Honey I know you're tight,
So come have a drink with me.
Come take a sip of mine.
Crooked teeth and wine.

Honey I know you're bright,
Your blinded with apathy.
Your body's a ministry.
But darlin if you're 18, I'm 23.

So come on surrender to this here pretender,
For once in your life.
Don't dare consider a cold, hungry shiver,
‘Cause I'm your fire tonight.
I'm your contender for cheap silly splendor,
And you're my restless bride.
And you don't have to like me to love me tonight.

Ohhhh don't be a fool,
I'll take good care of you.
Noooobody, it's true, can tease me like you.
Should we never be ours,
Leave it all, the skies and the scars.
Please don't leave me alone tonight.

So come on surrender to this here pretender,
For once in your life.
Don't dare consider a cold, hungry shiver,
‘Cause I'm your fire tonight.
I'm your contender for cheap silly splendor,
And you're my restless bride.
And you don't have to like me to love me tonight.

On your mark get ready set
And run away for good
There's a bold unbridled light
Where my soul once stood

Fall apart confetti, come on
Cry right on my sleeve
I am just a ghost of hearts
that break bittersweet

Am I in tune?
Yeah, I can't hear much
but the melody coming from you
Baby please don't rush
Keep the tempo slow and ooh
Let me hear the words you say
Let's go and get tangled in chains of golden days

Counting down T minus 10, 9
Wait i still believe
There's a distance in your eyes
Only mine can see

Leave the ground behind us
I'll be floating round your lips
I am just a host of arms
Holding one fool wish

Am I in tune?
Yeah, I can't hear much
but the melody coming from you
Baby please don't rush
Keep the tempo slow and ooh
Let me hear the words you say
Let's go and get tangled in chains of golden days

Am I in tune?
Yeah, I can't hear much
but the melody coming from you
Baby please don't rush
Keep the tempo slow and ooh
Let me hear the words you say
Let's go and get tangled in chains of golden days

Am I in tune?
Yeah, I can't hear much
but the melody coming from you
Baby please don't rush
Keep the tempo slow and ooh
Let me hear the words you say
Let's go and get tangled in chains of golden days
Let's go and get tangled in chains of golden days
Let's go and get tangled in chains of golden days
Let's go and get tangled in chains of golden days
Let's go and get tangled in chains of golden days

I never wanted to get you down
Start you up
I tried the bid on your winsome frown
Set Irish love

I never thought you would wake me up
Take me out
I wanted to feel anything from you
Even a handsome doubt

All I wanted was going home
All they gave me was Louisville
I don't want love to conquer Rome
Just your voice and a sleeping pill
Louisville, Louisville

I'm wanna trade in Friday nights
For a piece of your heart
Me and you and burbon beating
Down in Echo Park

I never wanted to keep you up
Leave you alone
Cell phones and stars gonna tease you
they never take you home

All I wanted was going home
All they gave me was Louisville
I don't want love to conquer Rome
Just your voice and a sleeping pill
Louisville, Louisville

I want to make up my mind
I wanna waste all your time
I'll be forever your thief
Sweep me off my feet
Sweep me off my feet

I never wanted to get you down
Start you up
You know you could turn my luck around
With a touch

All I wanted was going home
All they gave me was Louisville
I don't want love to conquer Rome
Just your voice and a sleeping pill
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville, Louisville
Louisville

Go out under white street lights
And find that we're black and white
The blueprints just might say you were right

I won't go home ‘till I've found my way there
I wont leave here with oh full of fears
Of what's gone and what was never here

Don't call me tonight
I can't make it right

Just say anything you want to
You don't need all the things they promised to you
Sell the lie and give away the truth
Give away the truth

I have seen, among the oldest of things
The beginning, the start of the seam
That holds together, and keeps it from losing me

Don't call me tonight
I can't make it right

Just say anything you want to
You don't need all the things they promised to you
Sell the lie and give away the truth

Just say anything you want to
You don't need all the things they promised to you
Sell the lie and give away the truth
Give away the truth

Just say anything you want to
You don't need all the things they promised to you
Sell the lie and give away the truth

Just say anything you want to
You don't need all the things they promised to you
Sell the lie and give away the truth
Give away the truth

Contract killers cannot find me.
I'm at home, when I'm with you, no matter where I am.
Gimme my last rights, I'm converted.
Forever yours, my holy lord, we're introverted.

The end will be, much quicker than the beginning.
I'm hoping that the things I said, are remaining with you.
For every time I doubted you, I give myself a shiny bruise.
I will be the sweetest thing, surrender.

Is it too late to say I'm sorry?
Some bitter bile for the selfish child, who missed his chance for holy mercy.
Better rely your own sorrow
If this was me, I'd let you run away with all you borrowed.

The end will be, much quicker than the beginning.
I'm hoping that the things are said, are remaining with you.
For every time I doubted you, I give myself a shiny bruise.
I will be the sweetest thing, surrender.

*Musical Interlude*

The end will be, much quicker than the beginning.
I'm hoping that the things are said, are remaining with you.
For every time I doubted you, I give myself a shiny bruise.
I will be the sweetest thing, surrender.

The end will be, much quicker than the beginning.
I'm hoping that the things are said, are remaining with you.
For every time I doubted you, I give myself a shiny bruise.
I will be the sweetest thing, surrender.

The sweetest thing, surrender.

Your beat is the same beat that played for me.
Half-time, with a sweet skin harmony.
Locked out, no fools know.
Laid out, in a bridge, slow.
Your love is the same love that set me free.

You're on the heartbreaklist,
You're on the payroll.
You come with a hit and miss,
And gone when the lights go.
You're on the heartbreaklist,
You're on the payroll.
You're on the payroll.

Come dance, 'cause my head waits for your lead.
Sinks in a deep breath of what you breath.
Lost track of your cool code,
Lap-lust on the wrong road.
Take stars, 'cause you're dim light is all I need.

You're on the heartbreaklist,
You're on the payroll.
You come with a hit and miss,
And gone when the lights go.
You're on the heartbreaklist,
You're on the payroll.
You're on the payroll.

You're on the heartbreaklist,
You're on the payroll.
You come with a hit and miss,
And gone when the lights go.
You're on the heartbreaklist,
You're on the payroll.
You're on my payroll.

You're on the heartbreaklist,
You're on the payroll.
You come with a hit and miss,
And gone when the lights go.
You're on the heartbreaklist,
You're on the payroll.
You're on my payroll.

Forgive me baby, for I'm so full of loss.
I'm swelled up with sadness, and broken in parts.
Forgive me baby, I know not what I do.
But I do know, Honey, that I love you.

Forgive me child, for the tears that I've cried.
I'm so frightened to death, that I'm startin' to die.
Forgive me child, if I can't find the truth,
I was lookin' for Jesus, and I wound up with you.

Cracks in the ceilin',
Split-screen feelin',
And the sappy blues.
We've got nothin' to lose, 'cept me missin' you.

No one's gonna let you down,
No, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna leave you here,
I will always be near.

Can't you feel this?
It's like a kung fu grip kiss.
There are stars just for you. Wish.

Forgive me love, if the curse wasn't clear.
There was so much to be when I looked in the mirror.
Forgive me love, for my broken bones.
It's this thing that's hard, breathing right through the phone.

Forgive me grace, for my part in the war.
I'm beatin' you down, breakin' right through the door.
Forgive me grace, for the distance I feel.
I was runnin' away from this thing that was real.

Cracks in the ceilin',
Split-screen feelin',
And the sappy blues.
We've got nothin' to lose, 'cept me missin' you.

No one's gonna let you down,
No, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna leave you here,
I will always be near.

Can't you feel this?
It's like a kung fu grip kiss.
There are stars just for you. Wish.

Becomin' free, prisoner, from his burnin' self.
I'm with you, baby, rain or shine, heaven or hell.
I can't be alone, without writin' this sad, sad song.
When are you comin' home?

No one's gonna let you down,
No, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna leave you here,
I will always be near.

No one's gonna let you down,
No, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna leave you here,
I will always be near.

No one's gonna let you down,
No, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna leave you here,
I will always be near.

No one's gonna let you down,
No, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna leave you here,
I will always be near.

No one's gonna let you down,
No, not while I'm around.
No one's gonna leave you here,
I will always be near.
(Continue, fading.)

Lock your lips with eastern time,
Lead my heart, and leave in mind.
See my soul makes it home.
I'm high in wretched why.
I'm standing here alone.

I left you on the street,
With a face so long, that it touched your feet.

I am a leaver.
Is my time wasting well?
I am a leaver.
How have I landed, since I fell?

Roaming streets, I've never found.
Singing songs, without a sound.
Cannot shake you from the tree,
And so you're in the ground,
Keep you next to me.

You left me in defeat,
With a loss so great, that I can't retreat.

I am a leaver,
Is my time wasting well?
I am a leaver,
How have I landed, since I fell?

*Guitar*

Treasures dropped in the sea.
Lovers leap, like you and me.
I am a sucker and a sin.
But baby, I believe in no refugees.

I left you on the street,
With a face so long, that it touched your feet.

I am a leaver.
Is my time wasting well?
I am a leaver.
How have I landed, since I fell?

I am a leaver,
I am a shaken, battered shell.
I am a leaver,
I am a liar, can't you tell?
Can't you tell?
Can't you tell?

The sun is shining downtown.
It always wants to cry out loud,
But I'm a little too late.
Ye-ah, ye-ah.
The gun is testing your faith.
It always wants to shoot you down when you've already been slaved.
Don't you burn away,
Don't you feel ashamed.
Don't you take the blame.

I give my heart, and soul to the ageless.
I give my blood, and bone to the faceless.
But in bright, and cold with the nameless.
And I, I give my life and love to you, graceless.

Your wish is spinning 'round.
It only wants to lie you, it never wants to come true.
This road that you found, it was buried light in your dreams with all your second-hand blues.
Do you need a clue, to stay?
Do you see a face, when you pray?
Don't you leave a trace,
Don't you sleep awake,
Don't do it for my sake.

I give my heart, and soul to the ageless.
I give my blood, and bone to the faceless.
But in bright, and cold with the nameless.
And I, I give my life and love to you, graceless.

It's a time for a destination,
We were dealers, before we were out of rhyme.
I'm the one who is second-hand, ohh.

I give my heart, and soul to the ageless.
I give my blood, and bone to the faceless.
But in bright, and cold with the nameless.
And I, I give my life and love to you, graceless.

I give my heart, and soul to the ageless.
I give my blood, and bone to the faceless.
But in bright, and cold with the nameless.
And I, I give my life and love to you, graceless.

Keep a little organ in you, now.
Sing about the promises you found.
Keep it up, cause no one likes it down.
Get lost in the overrated down.

Keep a little organ in you, now.
Sing the song that filled your mother's house.
Little Thomas, he just wants to doubt.
So sing a song you never sing aloud.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't you wanna be the last one standing out?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't you wanna be filling up the dark?
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
So just sing it loud, once you think you've figured out…

How you grew up so fast,
Hoping to the face inside the glass.
You kept the beat, but you always came in last.
And I'm the kiss, you've been keeping secret stashed.

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't you wanna be the last one standing out?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't you wanna be filling up the dark?
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
So just sing it loud, once you think you've figured out…

What I've never figured out.

*Guitar*

Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't you wanna be the last one standing out?
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah.
Don't you wanna be filling up the dark?
Oh yeah, yeah yeah.
So just sing it proud, what I've never figured out.

Keep a little organ in you, now.
Sing about the promises you found.
Keep it up, cause no one likes it down.
Keep a little organ in you, now.
Keep a little organ in you, now. (Continue and fade until end)

God bless America and my only dues.
Land that I love, if we only lose.
Standing beside her, and keeping score.
Guiding her freedom, to the end of these doors.

God bless America, my land you must see.
Saving the world, through catastrophe.
My home, sweet home, is a lock and a key.
The dawn's early light, on a big screen TV.

Oh how I love to, it's true.
The skylines, and coalmines, and the strippers too.
Do you ever miss me?
‘Cause baby I miss you.

The mountains and prairies, to the prisons and walls.
I've got a bible, and a Barbie doll.
God bless America, and her catacomb fire.
From purple mountains majesty, to the streets of Baghdad.

Oh I love to, it's true.
The judges, and casinos, and happy hours too.
Do you ever need me?
‘Cause baby I need you.

*Guitar*

God bless America, it's great finished lie.
Winning the war, with their hearts and lies.
Standing besides her, with a Union jack.
Whatever she's done, she can't take it back.

Oh how I love to, it's true.
Your winners, and losers, and cheaters, too.
Do you ever want me?
‘Cause baby I want you.
Baby, I want you.
Baby, I want you.
