What Me Worry? lyrics

What Me Worry? lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : What me worry I never do I'm always amused and amusing you Sans le fear of impending doom Life is like banquet food Pleasure to peruse Do I amuse you, dear Would you think me queer If while standing beside you I opted instead to Disappear, disappear In no hurry I'll sing my tune All my skies the hue of a ruddy bruise In my finest threads couture I'll call up my favorite muse For a drink - half full - or two Have I abused you, dear You have had it to here You say, "Love is just a bloodmatch To see who endures lash after last with panache" In the spring I'll dust off my lute Stuff my suitcase full of blues And I stir the dust underneath the thrust Of my clicking heels C'est la vie What me worry I never do Life is one charming ruse For us lucky few Have I fooled you, dear The time is coming near When I'll give you my hand and I'll say "It's been grand, but I'm out of here I'm out ...

These Days lyrics

These Days lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : I've been out walking I don't do too much talking these days These days... These days I simply think a lot About the things that I forgot to do And all the times I had the chance to I've stopped my rambling I won't do too much gambling these days These days... These days I simply think about How all the changes came about my way And I wonder if I'll see another highway I had a lover I don't think I'll risk another these days These days... These days I seem to be afraid To live the life that I have made in song It's just that I've been losing so long I've stopped my dreaming I won't do too much scheming these days These days... These days I sit on cornerstones And count the time in quartertones to ten Please don't confront me with my failures I have not forgotten them

The Strangers lyrics

The Party lyrics

The Party lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : Honey the party it went away quickly But oh that's the trouble with ticking and talking I lick the ice cubes from your empty glass Oh we've stayed much too late till they're cleaning the ashtrays Do you have change or a button or cash Oh my pockets hang out like two surrender flags Oh but I'd pay anything to keep my conscience clean I'm keeping my eyes on the exit sign steady now How did we get here with creaks in these chairs Oh there aren't enough hands to point all the fingers But I sit transfixed by a hole in your tee shirt Oh I've said much too much and they're trying to sweep up

The Neighbors lyrics

The Neighbors lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : Sister say a prayer for us Ones we learned from nuns and such I won't believe not a word you speak Just make it sweet to hear Let's pour wine in coffee cups And drive around the neighborhood And shine the headlights on houses Until all the news is good Oh no! What would your mother say Oh no! What would your father do Oh no! What would the neighbors think Oh no! How am I supposed to sleep Roaming blackouts on the streets Oh not a word not another speech We'll run the headlights down These kids are foaming at the mouth Psychotropic capricorns Tomorrow's some kind of strangerland Where all the news is good Oh no! What would your mother say Oh no! What would your father do Oh no! What would the neighbors think Oh no! If they only knew How can Monday be alright Then on Tuesday lose my mind Tomorrow's some kind of stranger Who I'm not supposed to see Oh no! What would your mother say Oh no! What would your father ...

Strange Mercy lyrics

Strange Mercy lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : Oh little one I know you've been tired for a long, long time And oh little one I ain't been around a little while But when you see me, wait Oh little one your Hemingway jawline looks just like his Our father in exile For God only knows how many years But when you see him, wait Through double pain I'll be with you lost boys Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you Oh little one I'd tell you good news that I don't believe If it would help you sleep Strange mercy If I ever meet that dirty policeman who roughed you up No I don't know what If I ever meet that dirty policeman who roughed you up I'll be with you lost boys Sneaking out where the shivers won't find you

Severed Crossed Fingers lyrics

Severed Crossed Fingers lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : When your calling ain't calling back to you I'll be side-stage mouthing lines for you Humiliated by age, terrified of youth I got hope but my hope isn't helping you Spitting at guts from their gears Draining our spleen over years Found my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there Wake up puddle-eyed Sleeping in the suit The truth is ugly well, I feel ugly too We'll be heroes On every bar stool when Seeing double beats not seeing one of you Spitting our guts from their gears Draining our spleen over years Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there Holding on and on and on enough enough enough Spitting our guts from their gears Draining our spleen over years Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there Well you stole the heart right out my chest Changed the words that I know best Find my severed crossed fingers in the rubble there

Regret lyrics

Regret lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : Morning pry the windows open Let in what's so terrifying Summer is as faded as a lone cicada call Memories so bright I gotta squint just to recall Regret the words I've bitten more than the ones I ever said Who is the one animal all by yourself all of us All of us Who is the one animal all by yourself all of us All of us I'm afraid of heaven because I can't stand the heights I'm afraid of you because I can't be left behind Oh well there's a red moon rising The door slammed and it felt like a cannonball Who is the one animal all by yourself all of us All of us Who is the one animal all by yourself all of us all of us All of us all of us

Rattlesnake lyrics

Rattlesnake lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : Follow the power lines back from the road No one around so I take off my clothes Am I the only one in the only world? I see the snake holes dotted in the sand As if the Seurat painted the Rio Grande Am I the only the one in the only world? Sweating sweating no wind whipping behind me Sweating sweating no one will ever find me The only sound out here is my own breath And my feet stuttering to make a path Am I the only one in the only world? Is that the wind finally picking up? Is that a rattle sounding from the brush? I'm not the only one in the only world Running running running rattle behind me Running running running no one will find me Running running running rattle behind me Running running running no one will ever find me Sweating sweating seating rattle behind me Running running running no one will ever find me Sweating sweating sweating rattle behind me Running running running no one will ever find me

Psychopath lyrics

Psychopath lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : Running down the highway like a psychopath All the flames and fury honey at my back Wanna make a bet whether I make it back cause I'm on the edge of a heart attack You said "Honey quit your worrying. Distance is exactly Like a blowing wind Putting out the embers and the tiny flames and Keeping the big ones burning." So I am standing in the sand where we said "it's the best day Of my life" and meant all of it Keep me in your soft sights when all of the rest have Moved on And I'll keep you in my soft sights when all of the crowd has Gone home Keep me in your soft sights when all of the rest have moved on And I'll keep you in my soft sights when all of the crowd has gone home

Prince Johnny lyrics

Prince Johnny lyrics song presented by St. Vincent : Prince Johnny, you're kind but you're not simple By now I think I know the difference You wanna be a son of someone Remember the time we went and snorted that piece of the Berlin Wall That you'd extorted and we had such a laugh of it Prostrate on my carpet You traced the Andes with your index And brag of when and where (and) who you gonna bed next All with sons of someone's All with sons of someone's Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy Prince Johnny, you're kind but do be careful By now I know just when to stand clear When all your friends and acolytes (are) holding court in bathroom stalls Where you pray to all to make you a real boy Saw you pray to all to make you a real boy But honey don't mistake my affection for another spit And penny-style redemption ‘cause we're all sons of someone's We're all sons of someone's I (wanna) mean more th...
