The Dead Weather Album

You're so cruel and shameless
But I can't leave you be
You're so cold and dangerous
I can't leave you be
You got the kind of loving
I need constantly

Hooked up to my motor
All day long
We go down to Texas
Up to Montreal

Two eyes none the wiser
In the deep
When the water gets hotter
Both hands in the deep

You got my attention
You got it all

I can take the trouble
I'm 60 feet tall

I know it ain't easy
I must tap your evil well
Cos boy, do you come roaring
Like a bat out of hell
You drive me so reckless
You'll kill us all

I can take the trouble
I'll take you on

I can take the trouble
I'm 60 feet tall

You're so cruel and shameless
But I can't leave you be
You're so cold and dangerous
I can't leave you be
You got the kind of loving
I need constantly

I can take the trouble
Cos I'm 60 feet
Tall

I never know how to treat you
You say I love you but it ain't true
I'm walking away now
One step forward and back two

I'd like to grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens

I don't know how to let you go
Or if I should keep you
I don't know how to let you know
Hey
I really do got a reason

I'd like to grab you by the hair
And drag you to the devil

I never know why I push you
Just to, just to confuse you
I make the hole just to see how
See through me how I push you

I'd like to grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens

I'd like to grab you by the hair
And sell you off to the devil

I never know in what mood you'll be
Be mine be kind or be cruel to me
I'm walking away now
One step forward and back three

I never know what I'm gonna do
I say I'm leaving but it ain't true
I got a lot I could do to you
Hey
Nothing you can do to stop this

I wanna grab you by the hair
I wanna grab you by the hair
I wanna grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens

You know I look like a woman but I,
Cut like a buffalo,
Stand up like a tower,
Tall,
Then I fall just like a domino,

Well you can give me if you want to,
Do what ever makes you happy,
You should try to take it easy on me,
'Cause I don't know how to take it,

You're a prick with a pin woman,
Wake me up when you're broke,
Only if it's broken,
You know I treat you like a joke but you,
Can't tell when I'm jokin',

You cut a record on my throat,
But the record's not broken,

Is that you chokin'?
Is that you chokin'?
Is that you chokin'?
Or are you just jokin'?

You know I look like a woman but I,
Cut like a buffalo,
Wake me up when it's broke,
Just like a woman,
cut a record on my throat,
Then you break me wide open

Is that you jokin' with me?

Well you can give me if you have to,
What ever makes you happy,
But don't take it easy on me,
I'll never take it easy,

You know I look like a woman but I,
Cut like a buffalo,
Stand up tall like a tower,
Then I fall like a domino,

You're a prick with a pin woman,
Push it into my skin girl,
I'm a prick when I sin and I,
Know I can't win,

I look like a woman and I,
Cut like a buffalo

There's a bullet in my pocket burning a hole
Its so far from your weapon, the place you were born
There's a bullet in my pocket burning a hole
Your so far from your weapon and you wanna go home

I tried to give you whiskey but it never did work
(I tried to give you whiskey but it never did work)
Suddenly you're begging me to do so much work
(Suddenly you're begging me to do so much work)
Right away from the get go the bullet was cursed
Ever since i had you every little thing hurts.

You wanna get up, let go,i said no
You wanna get up, let go
You wanna get up, let go, i said no
You wanna get up, let go

You dream of seeing fire in them hills
But you better wipe that smile from your lips
Which of us will be the one to go
(Which of us will be the one to go )
He who hits the roads the one who lives
(He who hits the roads the one who lives)

You wanna get up, let go,i said no
You wanna get up, let go
You wanna get up, let go, i said no
You wanna get up, let go

Theres a bullet in my pocket burning a hole
Its so far from your weapon, the place you were born
There a bullet in my pocket burning a hole
You're so far from your weapon and you wanna go home
(You're so far from your weapon and you wanna go home)

You wanna get up, let go,i said no
You wanna get up, let go
You wanna get up, let go, i said no
You wanna get up, let go

Don't act like you can't act
I know what you think you're doing
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother

Don't act like you can't act
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother

You came up to late
You came up to late now
You came up to late
To do a thing

Come on look me in the eye
You wanna try to tell a lie?
I bet you can't, you know why?
I'm dressed like your mother

Look me in the eye now!
You wanna try to tell a lie?
You can't, you know why?
I'm dressed like your mother

You came up to late
You came up to late now
You came up to late

You better look me in the eye now
Treat me like your mother

Come on look me in the eye
You wanna try to tell a lie?

You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie

And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
Who's got it figured out?

I drank some dirty water
Shook evil hands
I've done some bad things
And they get easier to do

Then I wrote a nasty letter
And I sent it to the Lord
I said don't you dare come
And bother me no more

I had a good friend
I could only destroy
And lovers I loved less
Than anybody could afford

Yes but this old rocking horse
Just nods his head
And he's gonna rock back and forth
The way that he always did

Baby don't you bother
Tasting the water
And baby don't you bother
Coming closer to me

Can you see my eyes?
They're half the size
And I'm not able
To look at you

Once I had a pony, her name was Lucifer
I had a pony, her name was Lucifer
She broke her leg and she needed shooting
I swear it hurt me more than it could ever have hurted her

Sometimes I wonder what's going on in the mind of Miss X
Sometimes I wonder what's going on in the mind of Miss X
You know she got such a sweet disposition
I never know what the poor girl's gonna do to me next

They say you're usin' voodoo, your feet walk by themselves
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to
Is gonna give ya back what you're wishinn' on someone else

Come over here pony, I, I wanna climb up one time on you
Come over here pony, I, I wanna climb up one time on you
Well, you're so bad and nasty
But I love you, yes I do

I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home

I wrote a song
Go on and listen
That's all you'll hear
When I go missing

I always get the things I want

I make a nest
For your hair
I lay you down
I lay you there
I build a ship
I sink or sail
Every tooth
And every nail

I always get the things I want

I put your heart
In a vault
That's how I get
The things I want
I lay a road
For your mind
So your mind can
Go go go go

I always get the things I want

I build a house
I build a home
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home

[No lyrics]

I'm looking for a place to go
Where the sun goes down
And stays down
I'm looking for a place to go
Where I can lay low
Die slow

My baby, she's uptight
Her face is frozen in daylight
My darlin', she's a drifter
Nothing out there seems to fit her

I'm looking for a no hassle night
I've become her and it hurts my mind
I'm looking for a no hassle night
I've become her and it hurts my mind
I'm looking for a no hassle night

My baby, she's a burglar
Nothing I know, can deter her
I'm looking for a place to go
Where the sun goes down
I can lay low

Will there be enough water,
When my ship comes in?

And when I set sail,
Will there be enough wind?

Just because you caught me,
Does that make it a sin?

Cool water
And the cool wind

Showing signs of nothing but troubled times
Since I had you
had you on my mind

but your heart is locked
you left me outside

don't get a buzz, baby
when I start buzzing when you're here
why don't you return?
please come over here

but your heart's locked up
you left me outside

you left me outside

I been brought down
and it's a bad sensation
it's just too much
too much for me to take

without a chance now
there's no romance now
I better leave before I break

oh oh

hey

I been brought down
and it's a bad sensation
it's just too much
too much for me to take

without a chance now
there's no romance now
I better leave before I break

oh oh

don't get a buzz, baby
when I start buzzing when you're near
why don't you return?
please come over here

but your heart's locked up
you left me outside
