Bows And Arrows

The Walkmen Bows And Arrows Lyrics
1.What's In It For Me

What's in it for me x2
I came here for a good time and you're telling me to leave
but you don't have to say it again, I heard you the first time

We're counting on you x2
well I like to remember it like that
When we had one in the hand, that was one in the hand
but you never come over any more

So you don't have to say it again, I heard you the first time


2.The Rat

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I know we've been through this before
Can't you hear me, I'm calling out your name?
Can't you see me, I'm pounding on your door?

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
Can't you hear me, I'm bleeding on the wall?
Can't you see me, I'm pounding on your door?

Can't you hear me when I'm calling out your name?

When I used to go out, I would know everyone that I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all

When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all

When I used to go out I'd know everyone I saw
Now I go out alone if I go out at all

You've got a nerve to be asking a favor
You've got a nerve to be calling my number
I'm sure we've been through this before
Can't you hear me, I'm beating on your wall?
Cant you see me, I'm pounding on your door?


3.No Christmas While I'm Talking


4.Little House Of Savages

Somebody's waiting for me at home
Somebody's waiting for me at home
I should've known
I should've known

And somebody's got a car outside
Somebody's got a car outside
Let's take a ride
Let's take a ride

Somebody's waiting for me at home
Somebody's waiting for me at home
I should have known
I should have known
Here we go

And somebody's got a car outside
Somebody's got a car outside
Let's take a ride

I know that it's late but I've nowhere to go
Somebody's waiting for me at home
I should've chose
I should've chose

Cause you can run and have your fun
But don't come around when she get's home

Oh baby, don't go home

There's a door in my heart
And it's open tonight
Come on in I got you tonight
Come on in I got you tonght
I should've told
I should've told

Cause you can run and have your fun
But don't come around when she gets home


5.My Old Man


6.138th Street

I hear that you got yourself a house
and all your friends you finally figured out
but you go out in the night til you got no place to go
I see you on the corner where you're trying to use the phone
and everyone will say you missed your chance
and everyone will say you've lost youre edge
but it's just something that you've heard about a thousand time
before
and every time you're falling then you'll see me on the floor
and someday when you turn around
you'll take a wife, and start a life
it won't be long

I hear that you got yourself a job
and all your friends you finally nailed down
but you go out in the night till you got no place to go
something you aint doing right is haunting you at home
now we've been hanging round for quite a while
so let's get out of here and take a drive
on the parkway tonight
you can hear the engines roar
the flashing lights will nab you when you're driving your way
home
and someday when you turn around you'll see the door is closing


7.The North Pole

maybe it's not good and it's not bad
and maybe that's a problem that we have
cuz everybody knows
I've seen you with your new boyfriend it's funny how you look at
him I
know we won't be seeing him again
cuz everybody knows, that's the way it goes
your monday morning train takes you uptown
your friday evening bus brings you back down
so here's what they're saying
I'm sincerely yours.

8.Hang On Siobhan

I'll be back tomorrow that is if you're here and you
promise to keep it
between you and me
it's all just a dream man it's all just a dream
I've been up half the night so get off it or leave
we're singing a song we don't care if we're wrong, have a drink
on each
other, and call it a day
you're calling me back, when the money is gone, that's all and
for us
that's as good as it got
it's 4 in the morning the bars are unloading,
I go to the window and put down the shade
you're calling me back, yeah but that was no good,
I got tired of it
day after day after day
so hang on Siobhan, you're a mystery to me but you don't hear me
asking around
so hang on, we're coming on soon, it's so hard to get through to
you
hang on, we're coming on soon,
we're waiting to hear it from you
hang on. hang on!


9.New Years Eve

The music's loud, in your room, turn it down
There's a neighbor who can't take it any more
I'll take your hand, in another one night stand
There's a lot for us to figure out

So if this is how it ends, well lock the door behind you then
and let
me down easy

The music's loud in your room turn it down, but the more we
talk, the
less we understand


10.Thinking Of A Dream I Had

I'm waiting on a subway line
I'm waiting for a train to arrive
I'm thinking of a dream I had
Maybe you're right

we're gonna have a good time tonight
cuz when you're coming around you'll be sorry for the plans we
made
when you're coming around, you'll be sorry for the things you
said so don't lead me on

And when you're coming around you'll be sorry for the things you
said
because no one speaks to me that way, and me, I'll be hanging
from the ceiling fan

11.Bows And Arrows

Come on, come on let's have a song
The morning sun is soon to come
We don't have time to linger on

There comes a time, there comes a
Time to make it right when I was wrong
And someday girl we'll get along

Goodbye to all your plans
You can listen to me now
Your head is bent out of shape
But your feet are on the ground
But all in all, the ceiling's coming down

I take my time to face the day
It's good to hear you talk this way
So we'll keep this up as friend
This time, nothing's wrong
I'll stand up as I'll shake your hand,
We'll be alright

Then I'll do it all again

That man he is a fraud, but nobody gives a damn
And then all and all, they'll all be weighing in

Can I sleep on your floor tonight
Give me some time to set this right
Where's your head, there's nothing for you here, nothing's wrong
Take a look around and you'll see it clear

Come on come on let's get things done, the morning sun has come
and
Gone, get up, get out and move along
There comes a time, there comes a time, to make it right when I
was
Wrong and someday girl we'll get along
