Stuck a pin in your backbone
Spoke it down from there
All I ever wanted was to be your spine

Your eyes are just like black spiders
Your hair and dress in ribbons, babycakes

He decides who to free and who to blame

In the middle of another group’s guerilla gig
Well surely that’s the ultimate guerilla gig

We were in Albuquerque at the fights
The referee wouldn’t stop the bout
The kid’s blood hit the fifth row
How he didn’t die that night I don’t know
That was the night I gave up the fight

Two great American Music Club ones:

Lazarus wasn’t grateful for his second wind
For a second chance
To watch his chances fade like the dawn and leave
(I’ve Been a Mess)

I broke my promise
That I wouldn’t write another song about you
(I Broke My Promise)
