The Walkmen Album

You're with someone else
Tomorrow night
Doesn't matter to me

Cause as the sun dies
into the hill
You got all I need

You pulled a blanket across my eyes (?)
It's a tragedy
Take a lonely/long(?) look, for my sake
It's a tragedy

Oh country air
Is good for me
No matter who's side I'm on

Let these dead leaves
Dry in the sun
I'll be up and gone

There's a stranger outside
Oh Lord!
He's a wiser man than I
Oh Lord

I am a good man
By any count
And I see better things to come

Could she be right?
When she repeats
I am the lucky one

You're one of us
Or one of them!
(x4)

Angela holds a grudge over nothing
Angela, what's the difference?
today's a day like any other

still the flag snaps in the wind
still your name rings true

you took the high road
I couldn't find you up there
you kept your jaw wired closed

I never noticed before
I used to see the sights
now I dream of the time
I was holding on to you
for a lack of anything to do

still the white caps roll away
still your name rings true
mine is yours, yours is yours
life goes on, life goes on all around you
let's go home happy again
just take your head from your hands
take up the cause just once more

I never noticed before
I used to see the sights
now I dream of the time
I was holding on to you
for a lack of anything to do

back to school
back to work
can this go on forever?
Angela, what's the difference?
life goes on all around you

[No lyrics]

I’d give you all my love
I’d give you all my love
But my heart itself is broken
How many nights must lumber by

I sit alone and I wonder why
Oh hazy, lazy days
I could dream of you forever
Under the shade of a Juniper tree
I sing a sad song of you and me

The sky above, the sky above
Is blue as your blood
Black is the color of your eyelash
Spanish is the language of your tongue

Life rolled us over like a town car
Bruised up and busted to the ground

The Lord came down and said to me
Throw off your worries and be at peace

The sky above, the sky above
Is blue as your blood
In a hazy, lazy daydream

Throw another dime in me my friend
And I'll sing a song I know for thee
You don't want me
You can tell me
I'm the bigger man here
Oh it's true
You're all pretty now
Than the last time
But the words aren't coming through
And I'm stranded and I'm starry-eyed

Oh why, oh she wash out of me

There's broken glass all around my feet
Laid my plan so carelessly
What's the story
With my old friends
Drunk and lonely
To the end
How I love 'em all
As the days slip by
And they're all following my lead
Oh why does the rain fall cold
When I'm stranded and I'm starry-eyed

My lord, where is a "Thank you"
Someone honest to me
My lord, where's satisfaction
It's all uphill for me

I've been faithful
And I've been sweet
Say I lost my marble
They don't speak for me

Don't keep it quiet
Say to me
Whatever you like
Victory red beside me

We all get even
We all get white
Take what's good for me
I know what I find

Victory right beside me
There's blood all over my head
Victory should be mine

Oh string you're alone now
Lord, where have you gone?
I want to call it memory
Now watch them roll on

Victory red beside me
There's so much blood
All over my hands
Victory right beside me

I've blood, blood on my hands

There's a girl that you should know
She was mine not so long ago
Had my number and we fell in love
She put me under and I got lost
It's my nerve and I lost my head
Just about everything I had
Washed out in the waited sea
Couldn't see my hand in front of me

Woe is me
Woe is me

Hey, do you wanna walk with me
By the trees and the factories
Hey, do you wanna hop the fence
In the sleepy red sunset
There's a girl that you should know
She was mine not so long ago
Had my number and we fell in love
She put me under and I got lost

Woe is me
Woe is me
Woe is me
Woe is me

Now the street light bright and pale
As we sip our ginger ale
I kiss you by the blinking Sun
Don't get heavy, let's be light

On and on
Our merry way
On and on
Our merry way
On and on
Our merry way
On and on
Our merry way

[No lyrics]

well they say, “can't please everyone”
but I'm stuck on a winning streak
well today, there's clarity
and tonight, I see tomorrow
all at once, the winter's here
all the lochs are frozen over
as I look in back of me
see a shape beside the walkway

half of my life, I've been watching
half of my life, I've been waking up
birds in the sky could warn me
there's no life like the slow life

so for now, I'll take my time
for now, I can't be bothered
but I learned a lot of things
and I fudged a lot of numbers

once again, the winter's here
all the lochs are frozen over
so I look in back of me
see a shape beside the walkway

half of my life, I've been watching
half of my life, I've been waking up
birds in the sky could warn me
there's no life like the slow life
