Under The Running Board

The Dillinger Escape Plan Under The Running Board Lyrics
1.Mullet Burden

Lyricist:Benjamin Weinman

Such worthless crust and crazed
Now crying to slap the wrist
I sense you cracked and weak
The nonexistent won't care when you fail to wake

I sense you cracked and weak
I wonder if you would, I wonder if you could
Please just a small taste of the offer unrefused
Bonded by a muddy crippled story

And now I wonder if you really ever could
You're no good, self-sodomize once more
Whore, slut yet fragile and tight

A reckless mangled conscience
With only the imbalance of evils
Wait for guidance end it all now


2.Sandbox Magician

Lyricist:Dimitri Minakakis, Benjamin A Weinman

Now who's the fool?

Strip it off
And scale the wall
I am the mask
That talks inside the concrete flesh

I am the king
Now tell me nothing
I am the fool for a day

Concrete playground
Hides the valley
Make me the king
So I can strip it off

Who is fool?
Who is the fool today?

Friend? A new idea
From your stagnant mind
And you must always
Fall before the clown

I can beat you
I can cheat you
I can be you


3.Jim Fear

jim fear has done it again
alfresco slapsticked
foam mouth sunshine
slash her and bash her porno freak
throw another crap cake on the stove, jimmy
the flaming hermit
the lonely fool
a staged and natural bliss
so flip the page
and lock your door
or have you finished


4.Destro's Secret

and now i'll hang my skin
this skin
transparent words of sin
my love so sweet
your name looks good distorted
like that
scrape off some skin
revealing...crud
an hour before dark
i'm walking throught the rain
and scrathcing on her window screen
i've come to cut cupid's heart out
i've come to take your breath AWAY
sundripped devil scratched out my eyes
break the door down
knock the door down
angel i can't let you in


5.Clip The Apex Accept Instruction

that lashed right on the head of the nail
a thousand years
it was the last moment
figured it out
how the honey burns
figured it out
stick on me so sweet
decoy this crap
hide this broken boy
decoy your crap
fuck you cause i've rotted
i've broken down
i'm that kid
so naive
bet it all
i
just lost
the whole thing
just lost
it all
sing us plenty
cover me baby
red for money
proves it's phony
red for money
proves it's phony
so step right up
you won that prize
i've rotted
i lost the house
i bet it all
i've lost the whole thing
bet the whole thing


6.43% Burnt

i smell that whore
bring me back
bring me a brick
take my bottle
and break it
pour it all out
i pushed you too far
self absorb that pity
i want to knock you off your horse
i just feel it
everything's fine
spit on yourself
you're so beautiful
crack and chip off
like the sun won't
shine
down
take your medicine like a champ
while that sting can last a million years
self absorb that utopia
so bad
i just feel it


7.Sugar Coated Sour

what rounding out breaks
the silent barrier
waiting and waiting
can i pick your modest waste
i expect no more than
DID I STUTTER
DID I STUTTER
DID I STUTTER
simple regret
yeah, take a bow
you deserved
yeah, eat shit
you earned it
life would be so much better
if you did not exist
and god bless you f**king queen
what pawns
we have become
in this bland
little play:
sugar.coated,sour.


8.The Running Board

Lyricist:Dimitri Minakakis, Benjamin Weinman

Soft, soft fade
Circled around
Turn loose goodbye
Switch off

No attempt to look failure is king
Are we ready? Close those lips
Try to lose me three more time
Hush baby, now don't say a word
(Total fucking chaos)

6:53 and where are you?
Run home, run far
Throw your face in a pillow
Scream out what you can't

Fix that makeup, cover your tracks
Yeah, you're an angel
Avoiding what games, games to play
Was it, 'Less or more or more or less'

Coward, whisk away the fear
Clear the air, clear the air and slide
Closer to the edge, say good night
Final curtain call, switch off, goodbye


9.Abe the Cop

Lyricist:Dimitri Minakakis, Benjamin Weinman

As if in a dream
Only one man
Can know
He tastes the dirt
He chews the dirt

The dirt
The filth
Now swallow
The filth of it
Cold sweat
Runs down slow

Just choke
The filth of it
Now swallow
Mixed with hot tastes of blood
And the cold taste of defeat

I want to die
Just one more time
Roll over and die
White lights mad and maniacal
Seep out dark brick walls

You just shun heavens thunder
While laughing at the sky
With a hiss of the nightmare's downpour
Laughing at the sky

Now wake up and die
Just one more time
As if in a dream
Only one more time
I must die


10.Paranoid

Finished with my woman
'cause she couldn't help me with my mind
People think I'm insane
because I am frowning all the time

Paranoid!!!!!!!!

3.All day long I think of things
but nothing seems to satisfy
4.Think I'll lose my mind if I don't
find something to pacify

Can you help me?
Occupy my brain?
Oh, yeah
Let's GO!!!!!!!!!!

Come here king

Oh my!

I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal
All day long I think of things
but nothing seems to satisfy
Think I'll lose my mind if I don't
find something to pacify

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry x2

People think
that I'm insane
cause I am frowning
all the time

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry x2

I need someone to show me
the things in life that I can't find
I can't see the things that make true happiness, I must be blind

Make a joke and I will sigh and you will laugh and I will cry
Happiness I cannot feel and love to me is so unreal

And so as you hear these words telling you now of my state
I tell you to enjoy life I wish I could but it's too late
