Smoke Tricks Lyrics
Bitter Birdies
You said you need some new blood and that i missed the mark
Your’e going through some changes looking for a spark
I take you to the airport i watch you fly away
You’ll celebrate a little, cuz maybe i’m to blame
No more chasin all of that odd love
No more wait and see how it plays
Bitter birdies set us in motion
Carried you so far away, carried you so far away
Yeah you got my letters, wrote me back a line
‘Gone to Catalonia, drinking all the wine’
Stuck here in Chicago, meet me in Madrid
We’ll wait until the headaches remind us what we did, did…
No more chasin all of that odd love
No more wait and see how it plays
Bitter birdies set us in motion
Carried you so far away, carried you so far away
Maybe that we’ll end up in Cleveland, oo but that’s a cruel price to pay
Bitter birdies set us in motion
Who knows what you keep in your brain….who knows what you keep in your brain.
Good bad habits
Humble braggarts up in my feeds they all want my attention who could believe
Them bitches burn so bright? And all on my side
God can ya feel it turning you on don’t they wreck my intentions getting them wrong
And still they burn so bright, tell me it’s time.
Swimming in uncertainties, doesn’t matter where it’s headed
Man i miss the planet earth right? Who could believe we’d be better off this way?
The diversion division’s picking my brains don’t they wreck my attention, so insane
And still they burn so bright and all on our side
Idle, while bored so plug into pages, @lilyrad12 is spitting her rages I me my, killing some time
Swimming in uncertainties, doesn’t matter where it’s headed
Man i miss the planet earth right? Who could believe we’d be better off this way?
Real Sublime
I won’t stop ringing the bell babe even if it’s just a one star shining on
Might be my ravenous hunger ever wanting the wildest wonder
All the sayings and hatings that I swore
We’ll trash them, throw them on the fire
Turn it into a national pastime
Tell only stories that seed the real sublime
I want a brand new eye, built on a bluff that can see forever
I want an unchained heart that never ever beats for anyone but you
Getting sick of these in between times, keep wearing a sweater that fits too tight
Still believe in a log in the sock drawer still stuck at the center of it all
Maybe when the wave comes a crashing maybe then we’ll see beyond the knives
I won’t stop ringing the bell babe, maybe then we’ll be pleasantly surprised
I want a big fat brain, filled up with apples and future visions
I want a unchecked heart that never ever creeps for anyone but, never ever creeps for anyone but you
I want to trade these arms for wings that fly over misty mountains
I want the fastest car so i can drive just like the bandit
I wanna write the songs that make the young girls scream forever
I wanna selfless love that never ever creeps for anyone but never ever creeps for anyone but you….but you
A Longing
I was dreaming when I wrote this, tho my eyes were open wide.
Without a doubt the world is inside out. Man I just want to feel alive
Tried a bunch of ways to bring it
Flaming wax and whips of doom
Never remembered the safe words
Sung upside down and slowly passing out
Man I just want to feel alive
Each day I wake up believing, could it be something I’m missing
Something I’m not even seeing a way, a light….
Want to hold onto what’s real, hidden I want to reveal it so….good. So so so good
I was dreaming when I wrote this, tho my eyes were open wide.
Never remembered the safe words
Hung upside down and slowly passing out
Man I just want to Lordy I need to God I just want to feel alive
Man I just want to see the light.
Only This Once
Wait for the golden hour
Meet by the ally door
It’s only this once
Oh aint it thrilling now
Don’t make a sound
Past your double door
This and never more
Hold your breath now
Don’t make a sound
Down in the spiders hole
Arm in arm we will go
Sleep in your lousy paradise
Feel alive for a little while
Feel alone the rest of the time
It’s only this once
Run Red Lights
Theres something in my blood, and maybe i’m the only one
Who’d run red lights to get to you, run red lights….
So don’t leave me in the dust, cuz i forgot that you’re the only one.
It’s just because i’m dumb.
But I’d run red lights to get to you
Run red lights
Some happy ending’s keeping us sane, no no keeping score now now now
Early in the morning, hits the same way
run red lights to get to you, run red lights, carry it through
run red lights to get to you, run red lights, carry it through
Pulling at the strings that could be untied
Just to see how far they’d unwind
But hardly ever out up in the sunshine
Thinking that i don’t belong in my mind
Maybe i don’t belong in my mind
Thinking that i don’t belong in my mind
Maybe i don’t belong in my mind
Could be i don’t belong in my mind
Maybe i don’t belong in my mind
Thinking i don’t belong in my mind
Overwhelming Odds
Don’t crack up just yet, let it stir you around
The odds are all laid out, god i’m bored with them
They carry vultures only through the bottles
So emphatic, over and over, did I mention overwhelming odds?
And don’t let mothers down, no not never break
And rage your body running out of landing space
Don’t get bored of all the wayward broken hearted
So emphatic over and over did I mention overwhelming odds?
did I mention overwhelming odds?
If wild naked rabid psychos rub up against your world
Who but a fool would answer too?
God i’m such a punk, an overheated lout
I never paint it straight, never pump the brakes
So don’t crack up just yet, let it stir your heart
The odds are all laid out, mm i’m bored with them
They carry vultures only through the bottles
So emphatic, over and over, did i mention overwhelming odds?
Did I mention overwhelming odds?
Ride
Can we pull this over? Or are we too set in our ways?
don’t want for nothin’ just an eye in the hurricane space.
Oo just wanna serve here. Ah but those sons a bitches burn bright.
I might need to miss ya. You’re getting too good at seeing my signs.
Oh, it’s not a stage. Pulled by the wilder the wilder ways.
Ride, ride here by my side. Here by my side.
Oh the river so wide, the river so wide.
Oh, tell me somethin. Is this a waste of our time.
Tame talons hold us down in the river so wide
Oo just wanna serve here. Ah but those hollow trinkets burn bright.
No counterfeit kisses will kick up the pink butterflies.
No, don’t act our age. Toss off the fraudy feelings, and kiss her. Remember. Fall into an empty space.
Ride, ride here by my side. Oo the river so wide, the river so wide. Ahhhhh.
