BURN ME IN MY BOOTS EP

Loving you with every pill I take
I'm gonna wash you down, wash you down
Burning like the fire that we were
The flames they fly, flames they fly 
Crazier now more than i was before
Out of my mind on the bathroom floor 
If you need me please show me how
With your dad's sad eyes and your country frown
Hiding beneath that southern skin
There's a girl i fix to marry in the end 
Thirsty now from all the blood i bleed
I'm gonna drink you dry, drink you dry
Hating you with every breath i breathe
Into these lungs of mine, lungs of mine 
Crazier now more than i was before
Out of my mind on the bathroom floor 
If you need me please show me how
With your sad sad eyes and your country frown
Hiding beneath that southern skin
There's a girl i fix to marry in the end 
She's busy paying all those union fees
And hanging all her victims from the trees
With shoe laces ties busted broken souls
Mother scream crying out the window 
Crazier now more than i was before
Out of my mind on the bathroom floor 
If you need me please show me how
With your sad sad eyes and your country frown
Hiding beneath that southern skin
There's a girl i fix to marry in the end

I'll be the television that plays your favorite shows
I'll be the valium that you take before you dose
I'll be the pillow case you rest your head upon
I'll be your mother and this once, you can be my son 
I'll be the daily local so you can read the news
I'll be the ginger ale that you drink with no ice cubes
I'll be the lawnmower cutting grass outside
I'll be your husband and this once, you can be my bride 
Pennsylvania ain't that far on a map in this broken car
Just a whale flapping it's tale upon the sand
I can't fly I can't swim half the lengths you've been
For now I'll walk with your blood beneath my skin 
I'll be the radio so you can hum along
I'll be the vitamin C so you can get real strong
I'll be the coffee cup that wakes you up just right
I'll be your brother and this once,
you be my sister - but we won't fight 
Pennsylvania ain't that far on a map in this broken car
Just a whale flapping it's tale upon the sand
I can't fly I can't swim half the lengths you've been
For now I'll walk with your blood beneath my skin 
I'll be the television

BOY: You're a prescription pill I took to shorten up the pain
Just some medicine I cook, lightening through these vains
I'm using you, you're using me, to we're both all used up

Enough (enough) is enough (enough) I'm tired of this lazy love
Enough (enough) is enough (enough) I'm tired of this lazy love

GIRL: You're just some dusty subway gin I drink until I'm sad
Just the cigarette I smoke when I'm drunk and with my friends
I'm using you, you're using me, to we're both all used up

Enough (enough) is enough (enough) I'm tired of this lazy love
Enough (enough) is enough (enough) I'm tired of this lazy love

So call if off, call it quits
I can't go on like this
Mother knows, brother down
Father's leaving for the picture show

BOY: You're just a lone microphone I speak to with brut force
GIRL: Just the way that I get off when I'm tired and I'm torn
I'm using you, you're using me, to we're both all used up

Enough (enough) is enough (enough) I'm tired of this lazy love
Enough (enough) is enough (enough) I'm tired of this lazy love
Enough (enough) is enough (enough) I'm tired of this lazy love
Enough (enough) is enough (enough) I'm tired of this lazy love

I'm the car you are the wheels
Spinning around around around
Take me somewhere way up town
Pass the cars that line the road
Past the things that I was told
When I was a boy of just seventeen 
You and I won't see eye to eye 
I won't ever let you change my mind
Even when you ride along on the passenger side 
I'm the car you are the wheels
Spinning around around around
Take me somewhere way up town
Pennsylvania's not the same
Since we left yesterday on the midnight train
Now we're waiting way out west 
You and I won't see eye to eye 
I won't ever let you change my mind
Even when you ride along on the passenger side

If I die burn me in my boots
Throw me to the wind, I’ll become oxygen
If I die burn me in my boots
If I die lay me down in jeans
Plant me in the soil, I’ll become your dance floor
If I die lay me down in jeans

If I’m leaving you for the sun
Hope I get the laundry done
If I ride away on the wings of a gull
Hope I’m gone before you go

If I die please don’t comb my hair
strech me on the beach, let the tide mother me
If I die please don’t comb my hair

If I’m leaving you for the sun
Hope I get the laundry done
If I ride away on the wings of a gull
Hope I’m gone before you go

I don’t wanna walk that same road again
I just wanna leave like a leaf on the river bed
If I am to go well I’m sure that I will fade
Just a penny in the penny arcade

If I die lay beside these bones
Whisper me to sleep, I don’t wanna go alone
If I die lay beside these bones
