Xo lyrics

first the mic then a half cigarette
singing cathy's clown
that's the man that she's married to now
that's the girl that he takes around town
she appears composed, so she is, i suppose
who can really tell?
she shows no emotion at all
stares into space like a dead china doll
i'm never gonna know you now, but i'm gonna love you anyhow
now she's done and they're calling someone

Amity, Amity, Amity, Amity, Amity, Amity, Amity caught stars
In her arms
Hello, Hello Kitty happy in New York City
Amity walking like a lucky
Charm

I'm a neon sign and I stay open all the time
So let's go, go, go, go

Amity Amity God don't make no
Junk but it's plain to see
He still made me
He told me so
I'm good to go
I'm ready to go

'Cause you laugh and talk
And 'cause you

i got a question mark
you got a need to always take some shot in the dark
i don't have to make pretend the picture i'm in is totally clear
you think that all things have a way they ought to appear
'cos you know you know you know you know
you know you know you know you know you know
i don't
i dream
don't know what you mean
panic called you out and took you in

Baby Britain feels her best
Floating over a sea of vodka
Separated from the rest
Fights problems with bigger problems

Sees the ocean fall and rise
Counts the waves that somehow didn't hit her
Water pouring from her eyes
Alcoholic and very bitter

For someone half as smart
You'd be a work of art
You put yourself apart
And I can't help until you start

We knocked another couple back

I'm a color reporter (rose city on the 409)
But the city's been bled white (white city on the yellow line)
And the doctor orders (drinking till he's trashed is just a waste of time)
He drinks all night to take away this curse
But it makes me feel much worse

Bled white

So I wait for the f-train (white city on the yellow line)

Bottle up and explode over and over
Cos you react slower than slow
Put it away,check out for the day
In for a round of over exposure
The things mother nature provides
To get up and go
Bottle up and explode
Seeing stars surrounding you
Red white and blue
She looks at him like he’s never known her
Its only been a year and half
Thinking that that was a matter of fact

everybody cares, everybody understands
yes everybody cares about you
yeah and whether or not you want them to
it's a chemical embrace that kicks you in the head
to a pure synthetic sympathy that infuriates you totally
and a quiet lie that makes you wanna scream and shout
so here i lay dreaming looking at the brilliant sun
raining it's guiding light upon everyone

thought you'd be looking for the next in line to love then ignore
put out and put away
and so you'd soon be leaving me alone like i'm supposed to be tonight,
tomorrow and everyday
there's nothing here that you'll miss
i can guarantee you this is a cloud of smoke
trying to occupy space
what a fucking joke
what a fucking joke

A future butterfly, gonna spend the day
Higher than high
You'll be a beautiful confusion, ooh
Once I was you

Ah, ah...

I saw you caught between all the people out
Making a scene
In a bright, ideal tomorrow, ooh
Don't go too far, stay who you are

Ah, ah...

Everybody knows
Everybody knows
Everybody knows
You only live a day
But it's brilliant anyway

I saw you out

Here's the silhouette
the face always turned away
the bleeding color gone to black
dying like a day
couldn't figure out what made you so unhappy
shook your head to say no no no
and stopped for a spell
and stayed that way
oh well, okay

i got pictures, i just don't see it anymore
climbing hour upon hour through a total bore
with the one i keep where it never fades

I'll tell you why I
Don't want to know where you are
I got a joke I've been
Dying to tell you

A silent kid is looking
Down a barrel
To make the noise that I
Kept so quiet

Kept it from you, Pitseleh

I'm not what's missing
From your life now
I could never be the
Puzzle pieces

They say that God makes problems
Just to see what you could stand
Before you do as the
Devil pleases

Cut this picture into you and me
Burn it backwards, kill this history
Make it over, make it stay away
Or hate'll sing the ending that
Love started to say

There's a kid a floor below me singing
Brother can you spare sunshine for a brother
Old man winter's in the air
Walked me up a story, asking how ya' are
Told me not to worry, you're
Just a shooting star

Sweet Adeline
Sweet Adeline

Everybody knows which way you go
Straight to over
No one wants to see you inside of me
Straight to over

I heard the hammer at the lock
Say you're deaf and dumb and done
Give yourself another talk
This time make it sound like someone

The noise is coming out and if it's not out now
Then tomorrow, tomorrow...
They took your life apart and called you failures art

everytime the day darkens down and goes away pictures open in my head of me and you silent and cliché all the things we did and didn't saycovered by what we did and didn't do going through every out i used tocope to make the repetition stop:what was i supposed to say?now i never leave my zone we're both alone i'm going homei wish i'd never seen your face

First the mic then a half cigarette
Singing 'Cathy's Clown'
That's the man she's married to now
That's the girl that he takes around town

She appears composed, so she is, I suppose
Who can really tell?
She shows no emotion at all
Stares into space like a dead china doll

I'm never gonna know you now
But I'm gonna love you anyhow

Now she's done and they're calling someone
