Subject: Lyr Add: A SONG YOU COULD CRY FOR (Freakwater)
Ely mentioned this back on 26-Apr-2000:
A SONG YOU COULD CRY FOR
As recorded by Freakwater on "Dancing under Water" (1991)
Desperately seeking more and more confusion,
You sink your nails into the back of an illusion.
The sun in the morning comes as such an intrusion,
Banging at your door,
Glaring down at that whore
You thought you drowned the night before.
There's something you were trying to forget
As you light the wrong end of your cigarette,
And you're laughing at a joke you didn't get,
Clinging to some man that you just met.
Desperately hoping for a love you would die for,
You play one more quarter to hear a song you could cry for,
Till the end of the world is all you've got time for,
To find someone who'll do all right,
And keep your demons out of sight,
As you fumble through the night.
It won't feel so tight when you dance,
And the air is filled with smoke and romance.
When you stumble, it will still give him a chance.
It's your beauty that has put him in this trance.
Desperately seeking more and more confusion,
You sink your nails into the back of an illusion.
The sun in the morning comes as such an intrusion,
Banging at your door,
Glaring down at that whore,
You thought you drowned the night before.
Banging at your door,
Glaring down at that whore,
You thought you drowned the night before.
