Deadwood Lyrics

Handcuffed in the present tense

 Variations on your violence

 Mind games and pretty girls

 A cracked song in the universe

 I think it's time that I showed you what I'm made of

 I'm afraid there is so much to be afraid of

 I kill the fire so I don't get burned

 Kill the fire and you won't get burned

 

 Deadwood, if you care to listen

 It's the same but there's something missing

 It wears me out

 Stripped bare I'm the same old savage

 How in His name did we ever manage?

 It's not enough

 

 Look me in the eye

 I'm about to dive

 Can you live your life without me?

 

 I don't need you anymore

 I can't use you anymore

 Killing the fire and you kill my desire

 I don't need you anymore

 

 Loud and clear but you still don't get it

 I call you up and then I'll regret it

 It gets me down

 You want the truth but you look right through it

 Deadwood but you hold on to it

 It's such a shame

 

 Look me in the eye

 I'm about to dive

 Can you live your life without me?

 

 I don't need you anymore

 I can't use you anymore

 Killing the fire and you kill my desire

 I don't need you anymore

 

 First comes love

 Then comes marriage

 Then comes baby in a golden carriage

 First comes love

 Then comes marriage

 Then comes baby in a golden carriage

 

 I don't need you anymore

 I can't use you anymore

 Killing the fire and you kill my desire

 Killing the fire and you kill my desire

 Killing the fire and you kill my desire

 Killing the fire and you kill my desire... 

 

 Symptomatic of what we've become

 I used to think you were the only one

 

 First comes love

 Then comes marriage

 Then comes loneliness.
