Two Gallants - Throes lyrics

rate me

'Well I don't know if I can take this anymore'<br />

She's thinkin' as he shoves her 'gainst the wall<br />

Screamin'. 'Well than what good are you for, <br />

You don't give me no pleasure at all.'<br />

<br />

'Oh now I know I need to leave'<br />

So she tells herself again, <br />

Wipes a little blood upon her sleeve, <br />

But she don't tell herself when.<br />

And baby starts a cryin', daddy sits back down, <br />

Sinks another drink to bring his temper down.<br />

And his image there reflectin' on the TV screen, <br />

Reminds her of a better day she thought she'd seen.<br />

<br />

But now take your time before you grieve, <br />

And keep your heart hid off your sleeve, <br />

Cause ain't no one but you deceived, <br />

Your sympathy is soon to leave.<br />

And now hide your mouth before you speak, <br />

Or better yet just turn a cheek<br />

I watch your interest growin' weak, <br />

But still you say that I'm the freak<br />

And I guess that's fine with me.<br />

<br />

But he's probably had a long, long day, <br />

She's thinkin' in the kitchen while she weeps, <br />

Puttin' dinner's leftovers away<br />

As he stumbles off to bed and then to sleep.<br />

Surely he'll be better come the dawn, <br />

When I rise to cook him breakfast 'fore he goes, <br />

Wakes without a word and then he's gone, <br />

He's got that kind of love that never shows.<br />

<br />

And baby starts a wailin', daddy comes back down, <br />

'Shut up that child', she hears him shout, <br />

And cradled in her arms she tries to calm the sound, <br />

'How am I to sleep', he screams and slaps her down.<br />

<br />

But now take your time before you grieve, <br />

And keep your heart hid off your sleeve, <br />

Cause ain't no one but you deceived, <br />

Your sympathy is soon to leave.<br />

And now hide your mouth before you speak, <br />

Or better yet just turn a cheek<br />

I watch your interest growin' weak, <br />

But still you say that I'm the freak<br />

And I guess that's fine with me.<br />

<br />

And when she wakes her head don't cease to pain, <br />

Body's broken and her clothes are torn away, <br />

Still the threat of emptiness remains, <br />

As she struggles to her feet to get away.<br />

'Hell, where has my child gone', <br />

She screams as she runs from room to room.<br />

Every sound of silence lingers on, <br />

Not a single kick inside her womb.<br />

And her mind drowns into shadows, <br />

Mama falls back down, <br />

Where the walls that shape her world seem taller from the ground.<br />

<br />

And no more breath to scream her throat just drifts away, <br />

And no more life to lose as if there were to save.<br />

<br />

But now take your time before you grieve, <br />

And keep your heart hid off your sleeve, <br />

Cause ain't no one but you deceived, <br />

Your sympathy is soon to leave.<br />

And now hide your mouth before you speak, <br />

Or better yet just turn a cheek<br />

I watch your interest growin' weak, <br />

But still you say that I'm the freak<br />

And I guess that's fine with me
