The Desparate Things You Made Me Do
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Time provides the rope
But love will tie the slipknot
and I
will be the chair you kick away
You don't even like anything
you like or the people you know
and all of your reasons to
stay alive died
Chorus I dedicate this song to you for all the
desperate things you made me do
I'd like to beat you black and
blue
for all the agony you have put me through.
Front seat
stained with love
A back seat full of bibles
purloined from
the drawers of lost motels T
hey say when you're older you'll
understand
you know it's a lie 'cause you've got a twisted and
mangled heart
Chorus
Down route 66 you pilfered love and green stamps
W.C. Fields with Mae West in your eyes
They say every
clock's a blunt instrument
crushing the skull
But you've got
a vice to rest your head in.
