Murder By Death

Murder By Death - Spring Break 1899 lyrics

rate me

<br>

The sun is comin' up over the hill...<br />

Or maybe it's not I can't even tell<br />

But there's a warmth on my face<br />

That isn't the blood<br />

And my tears are turnin'<br />

The snow into mud<br />

<br />

And I can't feel my left leg<br />

But I think it's still there<br />

Did I kill anybody?<br />

Hell, I never fight fair<br />

<br />

What state am I in?<br />

Am I still on the run?<br />

Has it really been so long<br />

Since I've seen the sun?<br />

<br />

My instincts are telling me<br />

To pick up and go<br />

But I can't feel my fingers<br />

And I can't move my toes<br />

There's a drained bourbon bottle<br />

Layin' next to my head<br />

And the piss and the vomit<br />

Are the sheets on my bed<br />

<br />

Is it you? Could it be you?<br />

Don't want it to<br />

<br />

I went out all night drinking<br />

So I took the bait<br />

And I jumped off the interstate<br />

To Highway 8<br />

To the bars full of girls<br />

Who all know me by name<br />

They all drink the same drinks<br />

And they all fuck the same<br />

<br />

Now my eyes are turnin' red<br />

In this hotel bar<br />

And she's breathing out smoke<br />

As she motions towards the door<br />

The kindness of a stranger<br />

Or a trick of the trade?<br />

God knows I'm not the first mistake<br />

That she's made<br />

<br />

Is it you? Could it be you?<br />

Don't want it to<br />

Is it you? Could it be you?<br />

Don't want it to<br />

<br />

I been down and out<br />

I been spit on for so long<br />

I stored my shame in my belly<br />

'till I needed to be strong<br />

<br />

In my last guilty whim<br />

I stole a map and a truck<br />

It's pure chance<br />

That I haven't already been picked up<br />

But from here on the slate's clean<br />

I'm headin' way south<br />

Always heard the girls were pretty there<br />

I got to find out!<br />

Look Ma your son's a travelin' man!<br />

I don't know what I did<br />

But I'll do all the good that I can....<br />

<br />

Could it be you?<br />

Could it be you?<br />

Could it be you?<br />

Could it be you?<br />

Could it be you?

<br><br><br><br>
