From A Basement On The Hill lyrics

There are really no lyrics. It's just (like the title suggests) chirping.

The litebrite's now black and white
Cause you took apart a picture that wasn't right
Pitch burning on a shining sheet
The only maker that you'd want to meet
The dying man in a living room
Who's shadow paces the floor
He'll take you out any open door
This is not my life
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
It's not what I'm like
It's just a fond farewell to a friend
Who couldn't get things right

haven't laughed this hard in a long time
better stop now before I start crying.
go off to sleep in the sunshine
I don't wanna see the day when its dying.

she's a sight to see
she's so good to me
but I'm already somebody's baby
she's a pretty thing
she knows everything
but I'm already somebody's baby

you don't deserve to be lonely
but those drugs you got won't make you feel better.

Last stop for a resolution
End of the line, is it confusion?
So go. Go see whats there for you
Nothing new, nothing new for you to use
I've got no new act to amuse you
I've got no desire to use you, you know
But anything that I could do, would never be good enough for you
If you can't help it then just leave it alone
Leave it alone, yeah, just forget it
It's really easy

Been outside
Invited in
But I couldnt abide

***I went missing again

Burning every bridge that I cross
To find some beautiful place to get lost
I had true love
Made it die
Pushed her away
She said please stay
Burning every bridge that I cross
To find some beautiful place to get lost
To find some beautiful place to get lost
Well, I don't know where I'll go now

Sunshine, been keeping me up for days
There is no night time, it's only a passing phase
And I feel pretty, pretty enough for you
I felt so ugly before, I didn't know what to do

Sometimes is all I feel up to now
But it's not worth it to you
Cos you gotta get high somehow
Is it destruction that you require to feel?
Like somebody wants you, someone that's more for real

I met a girl
Snowball in hell
She's as hard
And as cracked as a liberty bell
And I got her to
Come on and move in with me
And I said I'll find a better place
Where we can spend eternity
Don't go down
Don't go down
Stay with me, baby stay
Her mama called me a thief
And her dad
Called himself commander and chief
I fought him off with my love

You get what you see
I saw a rich fuck giving charity
Saw an evil emperor wearing my clothes
They're far from the best
But they suit you better than the rest
Just looking in the mirror
Will make you a brave man
I know my place
Hate my face
I know how I begin, and how I'll end
Strung out again
You're a parliament of owls
Flying over a city of canals
Voting on the body

The King's Crossing was the main attraction
Dominoes falling in a chain reaction
The scraping subject ruled by fear he told me
Whiskey works better than beer
The judge is on vinyl, decisions are final
And nobody gets a reprieve
And every wave is tidal - if you hang around
You're going to get wet
I can't prepare for death any more than I already have

Everything is gone but the echo of the burst of a shell
And I'm stuck waiting for a passing feeling
In the city I built up and blew to hell
I'm stuck here waiting for a passing feeling
Still I send all the time
My request for relief
Down the dead power line
Though I'm beyond belief
In the help I require
Just to exist at all
Took a long time to stand
Took an hour to fall.

Here's the army
That you mowed to the ground
And the bodies you left lying around
Talking it out
The last hour
I'm through trying now
It's a big relief
I'll be staying down
Where no-one else gonna give me grief
Mess me around
Just make it over

Your opinion was the law of the land
A single thing that I couldn't always understand
I lived it out from hour to hour

You'll make the scene like you always do
Goin' up stream down the ave. to fuck some
Trophy boy that you won tonight at the bar
So bad, so far. you'll make him sad, shooting star.
When it was me
I was momentarily proud
I'm drunk on dreams now I'm glad
I didn't say out loud
You said you'd be for real but
I don't believe that you are
So bad, so far. you make me sad, shooting star.

This is the place
You'll end up when
You lose the chase
Where you're dragged against your will
From a basement on the hill
All anybody knows is
You're not like them
They kick you in the head
And send you back to bed
Isolation pulled you past a tunnel into a
Bright world where you can make a place to stay
But everybody's scared of this place
And they're staying away

One more little one
I'll go down, stay down
Sleep the rest of the day
Dreaming music to calm down
Stay down and keep evil away
I can hear you asleep
Changing your shape
Dissolved in some dream
As a new one appears
To take you along where you've never been
The moonlight tonight seems to belong to me
Cause I never go to sleep
It needs some company

One hit wouldn't hurt a bit

I'm floating in a black balloon
ODed on eastern afternoon
My Mama told me baby stay clean
There's no in between

All you ladies and you gentlemen
Betweens all you've seen or been
A fit poly and a razor side dollared
Up in virgin white

You disapoint me
You people raking in on the world
The devil's script sell
You the heart of a blackbird

Shine on me baby
Cause it's raining
