Supersede

[ti:Supersede] [ar:Jackie Greene] [al:American Myth] [by:季风网-【http://www.ip21.cn】] [offset:0] Supersede - Jackie Greene Cookie cried for three days Until she couldn't cry no more She ate the fridge Jumped the bridge And wound up bloated on the shore The children they all pointed at Another painted score And somebody asked: “can I take a picture ” Well the heat down here is brutal It's hard to do what's right The locals shout That you won't burn out If you don't ever shine too bright And I wish I was in your back pocket Or in your bed tonight I wish that i was loud So you could hear me Oh no What else must I be It's all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me That I need you Honey I need you There ain't nobody Who could supersede you We're not such strangers So honey I need you right now Now all the streets are paved with petals The parade is coming through It kind of feels like royalty cause' Everyone's in blue And yellow flowers falling From a window too Falling to the feet of such a coward The mayor is kissing babies He's almost way too kind We're filled to the brim with honest men They're just way too hard to find So stare into his Public Eyes And watch his clock unwind Then find him old And drowning in the deep end Oh now What else must I see It's all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me That I need you Honey I need you There ain't nobody Who could supersede you We're not such strangers So honey i need you right now You see I long for a hickory morning With a waltz and trumpet flare I'm doing my best to recover From what time cannot repair And i'm sick of all this solitude And pre-rehearsed despair My eyes are a hundred miles away from sleeping Well I wish you'd write a letter Or telephone to me This place is dark and there ain't A spark of who I used to be So the sick hearts of the unloved Tell the brave souls of the sea: “we're all closed up Why don't you come back when we're open ” Oh no What else must I be It's all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me That I need you honey I need you There ain't nobody Who could supersede you We're not such strangers So honey I need you right now There's a cracked and pale mirror Hanging on my wall The church bell rings and the choir sings And I can hear it from the hall Now you might not believe it But there was no fire at all We just danced For seven days wishing for water Maria tells the fortunes They line around the bend A dollar for your problems And five to know the end They come from miles around; Just like a pack of howling men I wonder what she does with all that money Oh now What else must i be It's all inside my head i guess But it just reminds me That I need you honey I need you There ain't nobody Who could supersede you We're not such strangers So honey I need you right now Simple sidewalk painter Says his life is such a bore Spends his time with a jug of wine And a palette on the floor He screams: “Heaven Take my eyes Cause I can't paint no more ” Honey sometimes I feel just like his colors I'm gonna go down to the ocean I gonna to fill my boots with sand So the next time that you see me I'll be a much more grounded man So go and do whatever it is you do And I'll do what I can And when we meet again You can try to know me Oh no What else must I be It's all inside my head I guess but it just reminds me That I need you honey I need you There ain't nobody Who could supersede you We're not such strangers So honey I need you right now They call me pessimistic But it occured to me That babies are all born crying And dying is never free But I still can't shake that feeling That Somebody's watching me I just thought that I would tell you
