Golden Smog Weird Tales Lyrics
1.To Call My Own

Verse one:

Chorus i:

Verse two:
Feeling crowded by my company
You can't hate but parts of me
I know there's a new myth on your floor
Staying up in 409
The days are yours, the nights are mine
Burned out everything except your door

Chorus ii:
It's like breaking out of broken homes
They tell you they don't eat their own
Searching for one thing to call my own
To call my own

Repeat intro

Verse three:
There's a gold mine in the local scene
Get nine lives, need thirteen
Paid the price, landed on all fours

Chorus iii:
You used to mean the world to me
Scared to death of what that means
So it don't mean nothing at all
I welcomed you with broken arms
You know i don't mean no harm
Do i mean anything at all?

Chorus iv:
They all come from broken homes
Tell you they don't eat their own
Searching for one thing to call my own


2.Looking Forward To Seeing You


Looking forward to seeing you
Where the sun shines off the coastline
In a station on your time
Coming in view

Looking forward to seeing you
In that one room down the hallway
With two windows and a doorway
We can't get through

It all comes in threes
I purchase six and i still got three

Looking forward to seeing you ...


3.Until You Came Along


Your star-crossed eyes and your troubled mind
Seems you were left just for me to find
Sweet lady lay your hands in mine
Upon my face laid to waste by years of wine


Sweet lady lay your hands in mine
Upon my face laid to waste by years of wine


With my friends i used to follow
Nearly everybody's daughter
That's until you came along
But the darkness just got darker
This heart of mine got harder
That's until you came along


4.Lost Love

My lost love ...


5.If I Only Had A Car


If i only had a car
Wouldn't be here in this bar
Trying to get to you

Time takes toll,
The hours i'd roll
Is it a blessing or is it a curse
Seems this love makes matters worse

I'm stuck in this cafe
Lost along the way
Moving to keep strong
When i'm feeling myself burn
It don't matter let it hurt
It tells me i'm alive

When you saw me in california
I was lost in a dusty haze
Now that i know you
You feel so far away

If i only had a car
Wouldn't be here in this bar
Trying to get to you

As i'm waving you goodbye
Following the line
Trying to get to you

Still the echos fill the void
Your eyes rolled in your head
As you slowly disappeared

Still hard to rearrange
The distance made it strange
I'm still trying to get to you

If i only had a car
Wouldn't be here in this bar
Trying to get to you


6.Jane


Wandered off into the night
One eye closed, the other blind
Reading the silver side of signs
Don't worry it's to late
Some rain don't come down straight
Everything you had, you lost before

Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay
Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay

And when her scattered thoughts had died
The sand upon her feet had dried
Among chandeliers and sweet perfume

Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay
Jane, why don't you give a damn
Jane, why don't you stay


7.Keys

She had a nova that was tinted green
He took a greyhound that was a bus
From the city of new orleans
The only light that shined in their eyes
Was that of a simple screen
In a one bal harbour bedroom apartment
With a vision and a dream

Feeling like they sunk already
Feeling like they're done
Knowing what's been done already
Has been done by everyone

Deep in nevada they played it straight
They stayed in reno inside a casino
With a two, four rate
The only life that was in their eyes
Was burning like the sun
It is this sundowner hellroom confinement
Where they remained as one

Feeling like they sunk already
Feeling like they're done
Knowing what's been done already
Has been done by everyone

Back in miami

Back in miami, back to the sand
He took to running that was illegal
She ran a peanut stand
The only night he closed his eyes was his last one
In a one bal harbour bedroom apartment
Where his drean begun

Feeling like they sunk already
Feeling like they're done
Knowing what's been done already
Has been done by everyone

Now they're living in miami
Trying to get down to the keys
Is it lost, is it such a cost
When you try to aim to please

Down for the dirt nap
They took it down for the dirt nap
They took it ...

9.Reflections On Me

Verse one:

Chorus i:

Verse two:
Seeing through a two-way mirror
Looking back it's all a little clearer
Or just the line-up of your life
All day long you put 'em through their paces
Late at night haunted by their faces
Darkness fades into the morning light

Chorus ii:
You say you're looking through me
Scared of the things that you see
But i swear
It's only reflections on me

Bridge:

Verse three:
Could have been a little smarter
Shouldn't have been such fire starters
Fires they always burn out

Repeat chorus ii


10.Making Waves

Verse 1

Chorus

Verse 2
Hearing sirens on the street
Getting closer, please don't stop
Race won't be with these feet
Even closer comes the drop

Chorus
Making waves in the bathroom
The time it saves, it's the last room


Verse 3
In the chair i thought you were sleeping
Your eyes rolled back, your lips blue
It was a drag to be dragging
You down the hall 'til you came to

Chorus
Making waves in the bathroom
The time it saves, it's the last room

11.White Shell Road

Verse section - alternate between am ( or a5 or a ) and c until
the chorus

Verse 1
The wheels are spinning inside of my head
The wheels are spinning inside of my head
They don't know, they don't know
The leaves listen to what i say
The leaves listen to what i say
They don't know, they don't know
It's a stab in the dark

Chorus

Verse 2
The moral night is the darkest night
The moral night is the darkest night
They don't know, they don't know
I cut my feet on the white shell road
I cut my feet on the white shell road
They don't know, they don't know
It's a stab in the dark

Chorus

Solo over the the am c thingy ( that might be a c )


The leaves listen to what i say
The leaves listen to what i say
They don't know, they don't know
I cut my feet on the white shell road
I cut my feet on the white shell road
They don't know, they don't know
It's a stab in the dark

The light slept on the riverbed
The light slept on the riverbed
Slipped into the shadows
And landed like a figurehead

They don't know ...

It's a stab in the dark
