The Lawrence Arms "I'll Take What's in the Box Monty" Lyrics

the sky burns black blue bruised over these lights
from the station, these s___ty cars, these liquor store signs.
let's walk and pretend that we're at the end of this scraping, this burning, this "the hard way" learning. i'm sick. you're tired. oh yeah.
the leaves lay in graves on cracked sidewalk tiles
on backs bent bricks concave under weights.
i'm not fine, i´m not fine and i'm not the one crying (x2)
i'm sick. you're tired. oh yeah.

it can happen to your well, i'd love to belive.
but i'm slamming this bottle on this same d___ed street.
i've melted. i've felt it. it stings worse than pain. apathy, exhaustion, it all seems the same,
fire away (x4)

sit next to me, we can talk or just kiss.
you can rub my palm and say better than this
your smile makes me cry when it's not on there right, and i'm not fine and i'm not the one crying ...
i'm sick. you're tired. oh yeah.

i'm dragging you down
cause i'm lonely and i need you around.
so smile and sleep ...
and in the morning creep out the door.
i dunno what you stayed this long for.
fire away
