Grandpa Boy "Stereo"
From http://www.geocities.com/bobcowmen/grandpaboylyrics.html Thanks to Brian Beissel for the lyric transcription baby learns to crawl watching daddy's skin learns to fall get up again baby learns to cry watching mama's smile in the mirror can you hear baby learns to swear with your hair learns to love watching tv baby learns to cope with what she sees in the mirror don't go nearer baby learns to hide down on your knees learns to pray when somebody sneezes baby don't you say you love me in the mirror one last crushing blow a final crashing bore and it's always time to go as you're inching to the door (let's go) baby learns to live watching daddy's life baby learns to give everything away baby learns to cry it's alright in the mirror baby learn to crawl watching daddy's skin baby learns to crawl watching daddy's skin --- as long as my veins flow with blood sure as the rain turns the dirt into mud dirt into mud as long as there's blood in my veins I will search sure as the sun turns the mud into dirt i'm gonna hurt and they say a man in pain will be well prepaired to die they say a man who hurts won't even try how long does it take for pain to change from hurt as long as the sun turns the mud back to dirt how long will it take for the dirt to change with rain how long will this hurt choose to stay as long as my vein are flowing with blood sure as the rain ---- call me when your arms are empty that's the only way it can be call me when you're full of pretty lies call me when your eyes are empty and open all night you lied enough open wide enough to drive a truck straight through only lie worth telling is i'm in love with you only lie worth telling is i'm in love with you call me when you think you're leaving hope you know you're not deceiving me again just like you think you should call me when your arms are empty and open all night you lied enough open wide enough to drive a truck straight through only lie worth telling is i'm in love with you only lie worth telling is i'm in love with you if you need someone to tell everything you've done then lie to me i'm the one who can attempt to be your friend if you need someone to tell everything you've done then lie to me i'm the one who can still pretend call me when your eyes are empty and open all night you lied enough open wide enough to drive a truck straight like a knife only lie worth telling is i'm in love with you i'm the only lie worth telling i'm in love with you only lie worth telling i'm the only lie worth telling --- he's got your number knows where you're found but he don't know everything still, he's got you down like christopher columbus in a world that's flat he don't know everything try telling you that or harry houdini he's escaped your grasp that one is hold try telling you that and he's got your number knows where you'll be found but he don't know everything still, he's got you down he's got you down, baby he knows you like the back of his hand like rudolh valinteno the great lover of your life been awhile since you seen him, though i'm sure he's not with his wife and he's got your number knows where you'll be found but he don't know nothing still, he's got you down and he's got your number and he's got you down he don't know nothing though he's got you down --- nobody claims to see it coming nobody blames you can't help thinking a marriage license, a job was waiting by your mid-30's you feel unholy no place for you to be a girl no place for you they closed your world no place for you to live and grow no place for you that i know approaching mirrors waiting tables fix your lipstick don't disappoint those who have nothing to do this evening no day is safe from thoughts of you leaving no place for you to be a girl no place for you they closed your world no place for you to live and grow no place for you that i know just add water someone's done for i'm getting nervous and there's one more just add water someone's done for i'm getting nervious there goes one more no day is safe from thoughts of you leaving marriage license can't help thinking it's all for nothing she's so unholy up in the skies now she's getting away no place for you to be a girl no place for you they closed your world no place for you to live and grow no place for you that i know -- there's a world in between being everything to everyone and being nothing to no one there's a world in between giving life to a dream giving hope giving love giving some and giving nothing to no one a world of extreme reflection hear his scream for affection there's a world in between being everything to everyone and being nothing to no one I am a button to sew on --- I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know I wanna know Was the garage your playground full of holes Did you piss in the alley and get your toes caught in the spokes of a bike with a bananna seat Did you carry a knife that was rusted shut tight You got drunk after church at 13 We may well be the ones to set this world on it's ear We may well be the ones If not then why are we here I wanna know, I wanna know The sweet smell of candles burnt low by young women alone on their own for the very first time under posters of rock stars that ya vaguly resemble in front of academy of resounding perhaps(???) means that you'll be the next one in line We may well be the ones to set this world on it's ear we may well get it done if not then why are we here why the hell then are we here i wanna know, i wanna know You may well be the next one someone sell me a hand gun goodbye ma, I'm done for It's the law, tell me what for i wanna know, i wanna know Smoke cigerette butts from your brothers green helmet that he wore in that war once where everyone lost and they taught him to pour coffee and napalm traded his storm for an intense calm that just won't let him be We may well be the ones to set this world on it's ear We may well get it done if not why are we here why the hell else are we here if not then why are we here if not then why are we here we may well be the ones ---- i don't want your blessing i don't want your taste i make a confession: i no longer know my place i don't want your respect i don't want your war i don't want your heroin ??? of all the things that you supply if you can't get me now i don't want never can i have your blessing to dislike your face i make my confession: i hear your voice, i hit erase of all the things that she brings of all the things that you suppy if you can't get me now i don't want never --- i say my words, i play my notes i swear to god, he'll understand i pray to god 'strike down the band' i sing my words, i play my notes i swear to god, he'll understand ---- mr rabbit, mr rabbit your coat is mighty grey yes, bless god it's made that way
