#he said he didn't know shavambacu's meaning till september

Silverscreen

Two-faced Johnny, hotel lobby I won't go up without you Plated boots, lipstick rouge Jack on the edge of champagne fruits Misdemeanor, gossip cleaner Overacting table reader Ego driver, loose-lip liar Driving my head ill [••••]

Surface tension, I won't mention Liar, liar, liar, ha Dancing finger, constant linger Driving my head ill

Coup de grace

Running the circles through, right back to you Finding at the finish line, nothing new The let-down that sticks like glue Slipping through my fingers gripping onto what is left of you

Waiting for lessons learned, taking turns The loudest of them all, left to be unheard My story lacks in the facts That it's so absurd So come on, coupe de grace

Shavambacu

Ghost eyes sleep beside my baby doll

All night when I'm in bed with you

Sunrise never sets on baby doll

Her ghost tears, some call it rain

Well I'm crying for just one name

I can't stand to see another day

I'm not in L.A. to have my way with you

My little darling shavambacu, oh honey I love you

Killing the joke

Interstellar, dressed in leather, drinking bitter boy You know the plan but you never knew the ploy But I, I live a lonely life Since you been gone I left the TV on Let the milk go sour, let the bills pile up But I, I know I'm a funny guy
