Lyrics

On The Hood

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.

it all began without warning, on a strange winter's morning.

the sky turned red, the vibrations went dead.

with these terrible songs on a rainy day, the pressure just started to fall.

your scene doesnt do anything for me, it doesnt do anything at all.

is the music gone? is it gone for good?

its only six metal strings, on a piece of wood.

and all these things goin on in my head, make it kinda hard to deal.

like seaweed swingin in the ocean blue, for me, its gotta be real.

(chorus)

i dont care anymore, people tell me i should

they're all lookin for hits, id rather lay on the hood...

of an old car, with my girlfriend

and my real friends, until the end

i'll take you on a trip, inside my soul.

there you'll see, the part that somebody stole.

now can you see this picture that im painting for you? its of you that your not used to.

but u refuse to? dont you? you're thinking too hard.

you cant, think too hard.

(chorus)

it all began without warning, on a strange winter's morning.
