She brings
Her friends
So we won't have
To be alone
A fear
That I might
Loose composer
Without warning
I am a child of fire
I am a liar
I have desire
But I was born inside
The sun this morning
This dirty life of mine
Is hangin' me up
Aall the time
This dirty life
Is just a hanging tree
This dirty life of mine
Is hangin' me up
All the time
This dirty life
Is just a haning tree
They say good evening
When they don't know
What to say
And they say good morning
We wish you would go home
You open windows
And you wait for someone
Warm to come inside
And then you freeze
To death alone
(Chorus)
You call the waittress
But it's time for her to go
And shit I know
Everyone eventually leaving
But I got a pair of wings
For my birthday
And I will fall down
Through the sun
This evening
(Chorus)
I wrote down the lyrics
To Hanging Tree today
(As posted above) and
I'm left dispointed
To say the least
Because this song
Is just so
Fresh in terms of melody
But I think it deserves
Better lyrics than this
Do you think these lyrics
Are of the same caliber
As we we got off
Those first two albums?
I think the melody
And the song structure on
This is brilliant
(Reminds me a bit of Wilco)
but the lyrics are
Bbeyond abstract
Maybe even incoherent
Simple, passive those are
Words that come to mind
Same is true
Of their new song
Cowboys I think
Does anyone know
If Adam
Is a heavy drug user?
Maybe he's fried?
Not an accusation
By any stretch
Just an inquiry
I only ask that because
I listened
To Adams voice mail
Posted up
On the official site
(Latest one they put up)
And he sounds
Completely out of it
There's a difference
Between someone
Who's tired out of it and
Someone who's out
Of it because
Of substance use
Unfortunately to me
He sounds like the later
If it's not true
I hope he gets some rest
And starts putting more
Effort into his writing
If it is true
I hope one of his friends
Helps him get some help
