Your Body Above Me

Black Lab Your Body Above Me Lyrics
1.Wash It Away

Wash it in the sea let it soak all night.
wash it in the sea let the saltwater wash it away.
soak it in bleach till it's white on white.
soak it in bleach till the blood just washes away.
hang i
The wind let it blow all night.
hang it up high let the high wind blow it away.
hang it in the wind let the sun burn bright.
hang it in the wind till the blood just washes away.
i have waited wa
Years for the child that's come and gone today.
say what about this wasted fear.
how can i just turn and wash it away.
if i can then i will wash it away.
if she can then she will wash it away. f
Years spent one by one.
forty years of life just slipping away.
what i'd give for a firstborn son.
forty years of blood just washing away.
i have waited wasted lives.
i have waited long enough i
Y. say what about this wasted child.
how can i just turn and wash it away.
if i can then i will wash it away.
if she can then she will wash it away.
send me an angel. send me the ghost that i wa
At i am. i will wash it away.
She will wash it away.


2.She Loves Me

Creep down to the waterline you're twisting away.
the game is over you can't keep twisting away.
buy myself a rose at the end of the day.
please believe me you can't keep twisting away. she love
She loves me not. whether she knows it .
she loves me she loves me not.
whether it's suicide.
shake the bottle out you're shaking it clean.
you shake no you can't keep twisting away. crack me op
You know what i mean?
you shake shake you're twisting away.
she loves me she loves me not.
slip outside of your mind.
slip the far side over the ice.
slide you're yaking it on. slip i hope you'
T already gone. she loves me.
she loves me. she loves me not.


3.X-ray

How come you never look at me no more?
take it easy, babe. go slow now.
how come you never touch me anymore?
take it easy, you don't want to know now.
how come you never break the skin no more?
It easy, babe. don't go now.
how come you never let me in no more?
take it from me, i'll break it to you slow now.
she looks through me like an x-ray.
like a fire burning out of the fireplace. s
Oks through me like x-ray.
i'm saying all the right lies to the wrong face.
how many faces can you fake, boy? how many lies?
how many know now? say how can you never make a choice?
i'll break it
Ou slow, now. she looks through me like an x-ray.
like a fire burning out of the fireplace.
she looks through me like an x-ray.
like a surgeon come tearing at my heartbreak.
don't be seen with m
E sees everything. she looks through me like an x-ray.


4.Time Ago

I watch your window for hours.
moon has set down without us.
all by ourselves riding in the front seat
watch the sun come up. all by ourselves we would run.
remember? it was so long ago. it was
G time ago. feel your hand close beside me.
hear the highway behind me.
all by ourselves
we made love under the sleeping moonless night.
all by ourselves
we would run. remember? it was so long a
T was a long time ago.
i couldn't stop you crying
or stop myself from fighting back.
i tried but never hard enough. don't you remember,
love? all by myself i can see it like it's right
before my
. by myself time goes by. remember?
it was so long ago. it was a long time ago.


5.Can't Keep The Rain

Is there something you'd like to do tonight?
i got some bridges to burn.
i'd like to fly away tonight for whatever it's worth.
keep the salt out of my eyes
can you keep the heat in the air? mayb
Making the whole thing up. maybe you're not even there.
i called your machine just to hear your voice.
i know you were listening when all i could hear was noise.
and all the demons around my be
L your name like they want you dead.
but i can't keep the rain from getting in. one more night.
i set fire to the car tonight to keep from running away.
i needed something loud and bright to kee
Memory at bay. sometimes i shout a lot.
there's things i know how to say.
sometimes i get scared i just get carried away.
i called your machine just to hear your voice.
but i can't keep the rai
M getting in. one more night.
well i call your name just to hear the sound
hang in the air as i walk around
but i can't keep the rain from getting in.
one more night.


6.Thin White Lie

You get me high one last time.
one more second to let you save my life.
'cause i don't need it anymore.
but o my darling, here we go.
you get me high in that long white summer dress.
take it off
Ide in the long green grass
and i don't need it anymore.
but it feels so good, o my lord.
we talk about it.
we take the long way 'round. come on angel.
there's only one way out. one way. you can
It easy. just walk away now baby. one way.
make it easy on me. just walk away now, please.
are you a siren? you call me out.
you make it hard on me.
it's hard to turn you down. but i don't need
Nymore. so keep your distance, o my lord.
we talk about it. there's only one way out.

She sleeps with angels way up high in the air. she sleeps with
angels she got angels in her hair. they call her gabrielle from
the way that she sings. o lover come you ought to get you some
wing
E sleeps with angels up in the sky. sleeping with angels you
can't help but get high. when your bag gets heavy baby lay down
your load. get on your hands and knees and do like you been
told. you
Ask for more or ask for less. or you can just sleep forever in
that big feather bed. with the angels in their long white robes.
sleeping with jesus lord, sleeping with jove. sleep with the

black. you can sleep under ladders on the tracks of a train. but
sleeping in the clouds won't keep you out of the rain.

12.Gates Of The Country

April. back in new york. the 31st floor. it seems somehow
everything's changed. the kitchen too small. plates on the wall.
the sound of machinery. may. where have you been? who were you
running
Wasn't he someone you used to call home? where is the ring?
where is the boy who went traveling alone? she is much better
without me. she walks through the gates of the country. hands at
her si
Nd i smile as i watch her walk by. somehow i see there are ships
in her eyes. she is better off now. june. the curtain is shut.
the patterns are cut. the maid who will wake you at dawn. pulls
ou
Hair. pulls down your hair. it's just like you wanted. july.
what's going on. what are you running from. why are you sleeping
alone on the floor. some people change. others hang on till they
can
Ymore. she is much better without me. she walks through the
gates of the country. hands in the air. and i smile as i watch
her walk by. somehow i see there are ships in her eyes. she is
much bet
Ow.
