In California I dream of snow
And all the places we used to go
With the night falling down
With the night falling down
Now I'm living in Korea Town
Waking to the sound of car alarms
I remember your face when I showed you the ticket
Said you were happy for me, your heart wasn't in it
Just a phone call away
Now there's nothing to say
As the days roll by, disconnected
In the land where the sun is always shining on
Crying alone, palm tress are laughing at me
Another fool playing songs that don't matter
For people who chatter endlessly
Another suicide on the 405
The Black Dahlia she's smiles and smiles
It's the same old town that bled her dry
One more starlet one more time
Bound to make it do or die
Talk a walk to Bonnie Brae
Try to wash these dreams away
They try to tell me L.A is beautiful when it rains
Alone And Forsaken lyrics - Neko Case
We met in the springtime
When blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and
Meadows were gold
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
A love like the leaves has withered and gone
The roses have faded
There's frost at my door
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley has started to die
Out in the darkness the whippets will cry
Alone and forsaken
Oh lord if you hear me then hold to my hand
Oh please understand
Where has she gone to, oh where can she be
She may have forsaken some other like me
She promised to honor, to love and obey
Each vow was a plaything that she threw away
The darkness is falling
The sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance is starting to bay
I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten without any love
Alone and forsaken
By Fate and by man
Oh lord if you hear me then hold to my hand
Oh please understand
Oh please understand
When blossoms unfold
The pastures were green and
Meadows were gold
Our love was in flower as summer grew on
A love like the leaves has withered and gone
The roses have faded
There's frost at my door
The birds in the morning don't sing anymore
The grass in the valley has started to die
Out in the darkness the whippets will cry
Alone and forsaken
Oh lord if you hear me then hold to my hand
Oh please understand
Where has she gone to, oh where can she be
She may have forsaken some other like me
She promised to honor, to love and obey
Each vow was a plaything that she threw away
The darkness is falling
The sky has turned gray
A hound in the distance is starting to bay
I wonder, I wonder what she's thinking of
Forsaken, forgotten without any love
Alone and forsaken
By Fate and by man
Oh lord if you hear me then hold to my hand
Oh please understand
Oh please understand
Favorite lyrics - Neko Case
Oh lie
I thought you were golden
I thought you were wise
Caught you returning
To the house you caught fire
But I know that I was your favorite
And I said Amen
Wise, found favorin' heaven
And I at your side
But I never felt sorry
For those shimmering lies
When I laid down and cried
I was faking
And I said Amen
Last night I dreamt
That I hit a deer with my car
Blood from his heart
Spilled out onto my dress and was warm
He begged me to follow
But legions of sorrow defied me
Oh lie
I thought you were golden
I thought you were wise
When I caught you returning
To the house you caught fire
But I know that I'm your favorite
And I said "Amen"
Oh favorite
And I said Amen
I thought you were golden
I thought you were wise
Caught you returning
To the house you caught fire
But I know that I was your favorite
And I said Amen
Wise, found favorin' heaven
And I at your side
But I never felt sorry
For those shimmering lies
When I laid down and cried
I was faking
And I said Amen
Last night I dreamt
That I hit a deer with my car
Blood from his heart
Spilled out onto my dress and was warm
He begged me to follow
But legions of sorrow defied me
Oh lie
I thought you were golden
I thought you were wise
When I caught you returning
To the house you caught fire
But I know that I'm your favorite
And I said "Amen"
Oh favorite
And I said Amen
Set Out Running lyrics - Neko Case
Want to get it all behind me
You know everything reminds me
I can't be myself without you
Want to crawl down deep inside
The springs inside the mattress
Where l cry my dirty secrets
'Cause I just can't shake this feeling
That I'm nothing in your eyes
And if I knew heartbreak was coming
I would've set out running
Past the city houses
And the ditches on the highway
Read between the seasons
Under the bridges in valleys
Til the winds out on the prairie
Whip the tears from my eyes
Want to get it all behind me
You know everything reminds me
I can't be myself without you
Want to crawl down deep inside
the springs inside the mattress where I cry my dirty secrets
'Cause I just can't shake this feeling
That I'm nothing in your eyes
And if I knew heartbreak was coming
I would've set out running
Across the muddy river
And the smokestacks on the bank
Swallow that horizon
Hunger beyond hunger
Til the cloudy blue Pacific
Took the air in my lungs
And if I knew heartbreak was coming
I would've set out running
'Cause I just can't shake this feeling
That I'm nothing in your eyes.
You know everything reminds me
I can't be myself without you
Want to crawl down deep inside
The springs inside the mattress
Where l cry my dirty secrets
'Cause I just can't shake this feeling
That I'm nothing in your eyes
And if I knew heartbreak was coming
I would've set out running
Past the city houses
And the ditches on the highway
Read between the seasons
Under the bridges in valleys
Til the winds out on the prairie
Whip the tears from my eyes
Want to get it all behind me
You know everything reminds me
I can't be myself without you
Want to crawl down deep inside
the springs inside the mattress where I cry my dirty secrets
'Cause I just can't shake this feeling
That I'm nothing in your eyes
And if I knew heartbreak was coming
I would've set out running
Across the muddy river
And the smokestacks on the bank
Swallow that horizon
Hunger beyond hunger
Til the cloudy blue Pacific
Took the air in my lungs
And if I knew heartbreak was coming
I would've set out running
'Cause I just can't shake this feeling
That I'm nothing in your eyes.
Guided By Wire lyrics - Neko Case
Voices that did comfort me
Are furthest from my sanity
And come from places I have never seen
Even in my darkest recollection
There was singin' my life back to me
The life you learn from someone else
That you can only trust yourself
Sometimes that is still too much to want
Gravity won't get you through the mazes
You can never travel by the way you've come
I could never choose the ones to love
And the ones who took the credit left me reelin'
But I owe much to the nameless and all those surrogates
Those who're singin' my life back to me
Life is not a constant thing
It's only made of short stories
I couldn't even tell you where I'm from
Guided by the voices I've deflected
Guided by electric wires' hum
I could never choose the ones to love
And the ones who took the credit left me reelin'
But I owe much to the nameless
Those who're singin' my life back to me
I see you in the future, skippin' time
While the eyes of all the faithful rest in peace
Yet tonight I see the highway
And someone singin' my life back to me
Are furthest from my sanity
And come from places I have never seen
Even in my darkest recollection
There was singin' my life back to me
The life you learn from someone else
That you can only trust yourself
Sometimes that is still too much to want
Gravity won't get you through the mazes
You can never travel by the way you've come
I could never choose the ones to love
And the ones who took the credit left me reelin'
But I owe much to the nameless and all those surrogates
Those who're singin' my life back to me
Life is not a constant thing
It's only made of short stories
I couldn't even tell you where I'm from
Guided by the voices I've deflected
Guided by electric wires' hum
I could never choose the ones to love
And the ones who took the credit left me reelin'
But I owe much to the nameless
Those who're singin' my life back to me
I see you in the future, skippin' time
While the eyes of all the faithful rest in peace
Yet tonight I see the highway
And someone singin' my life back to me
Porchlight lyrics - Neko Case
So far away
Curses wild upon you
Hungry and gaining
Porchlight burns so far away
Miles away
Days have gone by and I've barely gone
Safe on the road that speeds from your front door
I can't turn around 'cause I long to be forgiven
It hangs in my hair and the hems of my clothes
I thought in the madness my arms could not hold
I can't tell you why 'cause I long to be forgiven
So far away
Curses wild upon you
Hungry and gaining
Porchlight burns so far away
Miles away
I'm sorry to tread on your patience, my dear
My heart might be willing by this time next year
I can't make you wait 'cause I long to be forgiven
So far away
Curses wild upon you
Hungry and gaining
Porchlight burns so far away
Miles away
Curses wild upon you
Hungry and gaining
Porchlight burns so far away
Miles away
Days have gone by and I've barely gone
Safe on the road that speeds from your front door
I can't turn around 'cause I long to be forgiven
It hangs in my hair and the hems of my clothes
I thought in the madness my arms could not hold
I can't tell you why 'cause I long to be forgiven
So far away
Curses wild upon you
Hungry and gaining
Porchlight burns so far away
Miles away
I'm sorry to tread on your patience, my dear
My heart might be willing by this time next year
I can't make you wait 'cause I long to be forgiven
So far away
Curses wild upon you
Hungry and gaining
Porchlight burns so far away
Miles away
Mood To Burn Bridges lyrics - Neko Case
So many people live in my town
And mind to my business but none of their own
They're all so happy now that I've done wrong
I'm surprised they don't come up and thank me
So if you want moral advice
I suggest you just tuck it all away
'Cause my mood to burn bridges
Parallels my mood to dig ditches
Don't cross me on neither a day, baby
Don't make mistakes or be human
They savor your every false move
And the fear that they hide looking for a Break
If ever confronted with truth
So if you want moral advice
I suggest you just tuck it all away
'Cause my mood to burn bridges
Parallels my mood to dig ditches
Don't cross me on neither a day, baby
From the well of their hearts spring the poison
That mixed with suspicion and reckless derision
And something they read on a church toilet stall
They think that their lives are much better
Than mine on the soapbox and ladders stand tall
So if you want moral advice
I suggest you just tuck it all away
'Cause my mood to burn bridges
Parallels my mood to dig ditches
Don't cross me on neither a day
I see those arrows beside me
I hear you right behind me
Don't cross me on neither a day
And mind to my business but none of their own
They're all so happy now that I've done wrong
I'm surprised they don't come up and thank me
So if you want moral advice
I suggest you just tuck it all away
'Cause my mood to burn bridges
Parallels my mood to dig ditches
Don't cross me on neither a day, baby
Don't make mistakes or be human
They savor your every false move
And the fear that they hide looking for a Break
If ever confronted with truth
So if you want moral advice
I suggest you just tuck it all away
'Cause my mood to burn bridges
Parallels my mood to dig ditches
Don't cross me on neither a day, baby
From the well of their hearts spring the poison
That mixed with suspicion and reckless derision
And something they read on a church toilet stall
They think that their lives are much better
Than mine on the soapbox and ladders stand tall
So if you want moral advice
I suggest you just tuck it all away
'Cause my mood to burn bridges
Parallels my mood to dig ditches
Don't cross me on neither a day
I see those arrows beside me
I hear you right behind me
Don't cross me on neither a day
No Need To Cry lyrics - Neko Case
Lie in bed and ignore the TV
Watch the clouds sift through the aero
And you'll be in my arms again
There's no need to cry
Of all the things so bittersweet
You're the first thing I see in morning and in sleep
And you'll be in my arms again
There's no need to cry
Years have been lost but can never be replaced
But my thoughts are with you
Tied to that interstate
And you'll be in my arms tonight
There's no need to cry
There's no need to cry
There's no need to cry
Twist The Knife lyrics - Neko Case
Tenderly
Tenderly
Please take my breath from me
Into the fountain
And up from the graves
Tearfully
Joyfully
Burn what is left of me
I don't want these burdens
I've handsomely gained (?)
You'll be my guest
And i'll let you stay
Leave me the check
I'll pay with the rest of my life
Twist the knife
Carefully
Quietly
You took what's young from me
I didn't deserve it
I gave it away
Cowardly
Thoughtlessly
You walk away from me
And I'll tear my heart out to save you the day
You'll be my guest
And i'll let you stay
Leave me the check
I'll pay with the rest of my life
Twist the knife
Tenderly
Tenderly
Please take my breath from me
Into the fountain
And up from the graves
Tenderly
Please take my breath from me
Into the fountain
And up from the graves
Tearfully
Joyfully
Burn what is left of me
I don't want these burdens
I've handsomely gained (?)
You'll be my guest
And i'll let you stay
Leave me the check
I'll pay with the rest of my life
Twist the knife
Carefully
Quietly
You took what's young from me
I didn't deserve it
I gave it away
Cowardly
Thoughtlessly
You walk away from me
And I'll tear my heart out to save you the day
You'll be my guest
And i'll let you stay
Leave me the check
I'll pay with the rest of my life
Twist the knife
Tenderly
Tenderly
Please take my breath from me
Into the fountain
And up from the graves
Thrice All American lyrics - Neko Case
I want to tell you about my hometown
It's a dusty old jewel in the South Puget Sound
Well the factories churn and the timbers all cut down
And life goes by slow in Tacoma
People they laugh when they hear you're from my town
They say it's a sour and used up all place
I defended its honor, shrugged off the put downs
You know that you're poor, from Tacoma
Buildings are empty like ghettos or ghost-towns
It gives me a chill to think what was inside
I can't seem to fathom the dark of my history
I invented my own in Tacoma
There was nothing to put me in love with the good life
I'm in league with the the gangs guns, and the crime
There was no hollow promise that life would reward you
There was nowhere to hide in Tacoma
People who built it they loved it like I do
There was hope in the trainyard of something inspired
Once was I on it, but it's been painted shut
I found passion for life in Tacoma
Well I don't make it home much, I sadly neglect you
But that's how you like it away from the world
God bless California, make way for the Wal-Mart
I hope they don't find you Tacoma
It's a dusty old jewel in the South Puget Sound
Well the factories churn and the timbers all cut down
And life goes by slow in Tacoma
People they laugh when they hear you're from my town
They say it's a sour and used up all place
I defended its honor, shrugged off the put downs
You know that you're poor, from Tacoma
Buildings are empty like ghettos or ghost-towns
It gives me a chill to think what was inside
I can't seem to fathom the dark of my history
I invented my own in Tacoma
There was nothing to put me in love with the good life
I'm in league with the the gangs guns, and the crime
There was no hollow promise that life would reward you
There was nowhere to hide in Tacoma
People who built it they loved it like I do
There was hope in the trainyard of something inspired
Once was I on it, but it's been painted shut
I found passion for life in Tacoma
Well I don't make it home much, I sadly neglect you
But that's how you like it away from the world
God bless California, make way for the Wal-Mart
I hope they don't find you Tacoma
We've Never Met lyrics - Neko Case
Oh my darling, oh my darling
How can you forget?
All the love we had between us
Now it's like we've never met
Oh it kills me, how it kills me
When I think I held you up
You were golden, I was blind
With your poison in my blood
Bittersweet are the memories
That make old lovers pine
But I'll trade all the memories
Just to have your heart in mine
Everybody's talking to me
But they just can't explain
Disappeared from all the pages
And nothing seems the same
Was a time I thought I knew you
When I looked you in the eye
Now the same eyes look right through me
You're too cool to see me cry
Bittersweet are the memories
That make old lovers pine
But I'll trade all the memories
Just to have your heart in mine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
How can you forget
All the love we had between us
Now it's like we've never met
You were golden and I was blind
Now it's like we've never met
How can you forget?
All the love we had between us
Now it's like we've never met
Oh it kills me, how it kills me
When I think I held you up
You were golden, I was blind
With your poison in my blood
Bittersweet are the memories
That make old lovers pine
But I'll trade all the memories
Just to have your heart in mine
Everybody's talking to me
But they just can't explain
Disappeared from all the pages
And nothing seems the same
Was a time I thought I knew you
When I looked you in the eye
Now the same eyes look right through me
You're too cool to see me cry
Bittersweet are the memories
That make old lovers pine
But I'll trade all the memories
Just to have your heart in mine
Oh my darling, oh my darling
How can you forget
All the love we had between us
Now it's like we've never met
You were golden and I was blind
Now it's like we've never met
Whip The Blankets lyrics - Case
Well it's hot in the yard
And it's cool in the bed
And I whip the blankets into cotton thread
And I'll tear all the carpet up over my head
'Til my feet can go right through the basement
Well you play so surprised at what you have found
But I heard you coming from way across town
So let's get to getting to burning it down
And the fire, it's spreading like madness
'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
That the nation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start
When the dishes are broken and the kitchen's a mess
I'm trapped in the door
Why don't you make me confess
'Cause I'm tastin' delicious
To just keep you guessin'
Whatever it is, that ignites me
'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
That the nation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
When instinct is dirty and morality's clean
And we're bound for damnation say those magazines
Well to hell with the sorrow and watered-down scenes
We'll burn us a bridge straight to heaven.
'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
That the nation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
And it's cool in the bed
And I whip the blankets into cotton thread
And I'll tear all the carpet up over my head
'Til my feet can go right through the basement
Well you play so surprised at what you have found
But I heard you coming from way across town
So let's get to getting to burning it down
And the fire, it's spreading like madness
'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
That the nation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start
When the dishes are broken and the kitchen's a mess
I'm trapped in the door
Why don't you make me confess
'Cause I'm tastin' delicious
To just keep you guessin'
Whatever it is, that ignites me
'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
That the nation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
When instinct is dirty and morality's clean
And we're bound for damnation say those magazines
Well to hell with the sorrow and watered-down scenes
We'll burn us a bridge straight to heaven.
'Cause I'm steeped in this pleasure
I've snapped from my tether
That the nation may vibrate apart
And you lead me again to the back of the line
And we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
Yes we'll work our way slow to the start
South Tacoma Way lyrics - Neko Case
I put on that sweater you gave me
I woke up in the kitchen a few minutes later
I didn't know how I had gotten there
Did you guide me
I didn't make it to your funeral
I didn't want ritual nor resign
I just wanted to hold hands with
J.P and Mary-Jo
But I couldn't conjure tears
We're too good for stupid angels
Blackness held its breath beside me
And burned the air till it was gone
Till it was gone
Till it was gone
Couldn't pay my respects to a dead man
Your life was much more to me
And I chased away with sticks and stones
But that rage kept following me
Following Me
Following Me
So lost I was asleep in the palms of your hand
In dreams we were happy and safe
I can't comprehend the ways I miss you
They come to light in my mistakes
In my mistakes
In my mistakes
Now I'm travelling down Tacoma way
And the world turns in slow motion
It's the twilight of our old home
And I'm still in love with you
Oh here on South Tacoma way
We've memories for matinees
And the tears come warm and heavy
And the cross streets bare your name
And the cross streets bare your name
I woke up in the kitchen a few minutes later
I didn't know how I had gotten there
Did you guide me
I didn't make it to your funeral
I didn't want ritual nor resign
I just wanted to hold hands with
J.P and Mary-Jo
But I couldn't conjure tears
We're too good for stupid angels
Blackness held its breath beside me
And burned the air till it was gone
Till it was gone
Till it was gone
Couldn't pay my respects to a dead man
Your life was much more to me
And I chased away with sticks and stones
But that rage kept following me
Following Me
Following Me
So lost I was asleep in the palms of your hand
In dreams we were happy and safe
I can't comprehend the ways I miss you
They come to light in my mistakes
In my mistakes
In my mistakes
Now I'm travelling down Tacoma way
And the world turns in slow motion
It's the twilight of our old home
And I'm still in love with you
Oh here on South Tacoma way
We've memories for matinees
And the tears come warm and heavy
And the cross streets bare your name
And the cross streets bare your name
Bought And Sold lyrics - Neko Case
Lost love
You're the one that lies in my arms
You're the one that stole all my charms
I let you in
Misery
You took everything young from me
Burned it down right in front of me
My blood runs cold
Nobody said that love was gonna be kind
But they did say that it was pleasurable as it was divine
Lost love
You're the one that lies in my arms
You're the one that stole all my charms
I'm bought and sold
Nobody said that love was gonna be kind
But they did say it was pleasurable as it was divine
Wish I could leave it behind
Lost love
You're the one that lies in my arms
You're the one that stole all my charms
I let you in
Misery
You took everything young from me
Burned it down right in front of me
My blood runs cold
Nobody said that love was gonna be kind
But they did say that it was pleasurable as it was divine
Lost love
You're the one that lies in my arms
You're the one that stole all my charms
I'm bought and sold
Nobody said that love was gonna be kind
But they did say it was pleasurable as it was divine
Wish I could leave it behind
Lost love
Furnace Room Lullaby lyrics - Neko Case
All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come
I twisted you over and under to take you
The coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest
I twisted you under and under to break you
I just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest
All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come
So far under the bed
Into the beams you've gone
I've gone, you've gone
I'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me
I can't bring a sound from my head though I try
I can't seem to find my way up from the basement
A demon holds my place on earth 'till I die
All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come
So far under the bed
Into the beams you've gone
I've gone, you've gone
All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come
I twisted you over and under to take you
The coals went so wild as they swallowed the rest
I twisted you under and under to break you
I just couldn't breathe with your throne on my chest
All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come
So far under the bed
Into the beams you've gone
I've gone, you've gone
I'm wrapped in the depths of these deeds that have made me
I can't bring a sound from my head though I try
I can't seem to find my way up from the basement
A demon holds my place on earth 'till I die
All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
How come, how come
So far under the bed
Into the beams you've gone
I've gone, you've gone
All night, all I hear, all I hear's your heart
Timber lyrics - Neko Case
My love was like a seed that you had planted
The root was not as strong as it could be
And as the years went on, you weren't enchanted
So you fell it like a great big tree
Now I'm falling timber
Timber the falling tree....
My heart was not a thing to take for granted
So loosen up your home and let me be
And if I had my way you would be planted
Drowning in the shade with me.
Now I'm calling timber...
Timber the falling tree-heeee.
The root was not as strong as it could be
And as the years went on, you weren't enchanted
So you fell it like a great big tree
Now I'm falling timber
Timber the falling tree....
My heart was not a thing to take for granted
So loosen up your home and let me be
And if I had my way you would be planted
Drowning in the shade with me.
Now I'm calling timber...
Timber the falling tree-heeee.

I didn't let go 'cause you hurt me
I didn't let go so you'd stay
I did let you go 'cause I love you so much
And it kills me to see us this way
Love saved my life when you found me
A debt I can only repay
By closing the doors, now I'm savin' yours
And I know that you want it this way
Sandman take me much further than sleep
We'll ride down that river of tears
Where only the stars and the angels will weep
As I jettison all of my years
Long are the nights I lay cryin'
Wasn't because you weren't true
I hope you can finally be happy my love,
'Cause I'd give up my own life for you
Sandman take me much further than sleep
We'll ride down that river of tears
Where only the stars and the angels will weep
As I jettison all of my years
Oh, I jettsion all of my years
Oh, I jettison all of my years
I didn't let go so you'd stay
I did let you go 'cause I love you so much
And it kills me to see us this way
Love saved my life when you found me
A debt I can only repay
By closing the doors, now I'm savin' yours
And I know that you want it this way
Sandman take me much further than sleep
We'll ride down that river of tears
Where only the stars and the angels will weep
As I jettison all of my years
Long are the nights I lay cryin'
Wasn't because you weren't true
I hope you can finally be happy my love,
'Cause I'd give up my own life for you
Sandman take me much further than sleep
We'll ride down that river of tears
Where only the stars and the angels will weep
As I jettison all of my years
Oh, I jettsion all of my years
Oh, I jettison all of my years
High On Cruel lyrics - Neko Case
I shine like the sun
I'm on fire right now
Your tears have come too late
You break down the door
There's already nothing
I've only one heart to take
I've got all of what you're crying for now
Your tears have come too late
You break down the door
There's already nothing
I'd only one heart to break
You're crawling on the floor like a fool
And I'm so high on cruel
You'll drown in the light
And I'll burn like a star
Your tears are gonna give me fuel
Pray that your happy
And the years they fall away
Well, I've learned a lesson
So don't ask me to stay...
Karoline lyrics - Neko Case
Oh, the path you walk is on fire,
So wild and unashamed
With a passion you inspire
I'm gonna keep those men at bay
Cowgirl you've got that something
Of what all my dreams are made
So come on baby, just say the word,
I wanna be your slave
Yooooooo-ooooo-ooooo-oooo-ooooo.....
Oh the web you weave is so tender
I'm tangled by your gaze
And you know I need surrender
I never locked you in a cage
Cowgirl I've got that loving that puts all those men to shame
So come on baby, just say you will
Don't lay me in my grave
Yooooooo-ooooo-ooooo-oooo-ooooo.....
Oh, the path you walk is on fire,
So wild and unashamed
With a passion you inspire
I'm gonna keep those men at bay
Cowgirl you've got that something
Of what all my dreams are made
So come on baby, just say the word,
I wanna be your slave
Yooooooooooooooooooooooo
Oh, miss Karoline
Lonely Old Lies lyrics - Neko Case
Sittin' here lost in my senses
Drownin' in old memories
Brought down from on high
When you said goodbye
Seems all that I lived for were lies
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Mind's all tied up with wild senses
It's not how I thought love would be
My heart from inside
Has burst open wide
Seems all that that have lived there were lies
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Oh moon river, I'll follow you down
How many sorrows have drowned
In you
Oh moon river, I'll follow you down
How many sorrows have drowned
Oh moon river, I'll follow you down
How many sorrows have drowned
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Lies, lies, lies...
Drownin' in old memories
Brought down from on high
When you said goodbye
Seems all that I lived for were lies
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Mind's all tied up with wild senses
It's not how I thought love would be
My heart from inside
Has burst open wide
Seems all that that have lived there were lies
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Oh moon river, I'll follow you down
How many sorrows have drowned
In you
Oh moon river, I'll follow you down
How many sorrows have drowned
Oh moon river, I'll follow you down
How many sorrows have drowned
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Lonely old lies
Your rhetoric cries
I'll never learn nothin' from you
Jukebox is on
It's playin' our song
And the words are like lonely old lies
Lies, lies, lies...
Honky Tonk Hiccups lyrics - Neko Case
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
When I got home from work
I was feeling pretty fine
'Til I started getting hiccups 'round suppertime
Held my breath 'til I hit the floor
But the hiccups kept coming
Even more more more
I asked my baby to stand up on a chair
And when I wasn't looking
She would give me a scare
I drank a glass of water
And I blew into a bag
But the hiccups kept a-comin
A nag nag nag
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
Well I was feeling low
But my baby made me go
Down to the honky tonk and hillbilly show
An hour in the line-up
And I finally made the door
But the hiccups kept a-coming
Even more more more
First I heard the music
And then I felt a beat
And that's when I knew
That the hiccups would retreat
I headed for the dance floor
I really did my best
I did The Rump Jump
I guess the whiskey did the rest
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
The only cure is the hardwood floor
(Hic!)
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
When I got home from work
I was feeling pretty fine
'Til I started getting hiccups 'round suppertime
Held my breath 'til I hit the floor
But the hiccups kept coming
Even more more more
I asked my baby to stand up on a chair
And when I wasn't looking
She would give me a scare
I drank a glass of water
And I blew into a bag
But the hiccups kept a-comin
A nag nag nag
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
Well I was feeling low
But my baby made me go
Down to the honky tonk and hillbilly show
An hour in the line-up
And I finally made the door
But the hiccups kept a-coming
Even more more more
First I heard the music
And then I felt a beat
And that's when I knew
That the hiccups would retreat
I headed for the dance floor
I really did my best
I did The Rump Jump
I guess the whiskey did the rest
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I got the honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
Honky tonk hiccups
Ready steady go
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
I found the cure on the hardwood floor
The only cure is the hardwood floor
(Hic!)
The Virginian lyrics Neko Case
When I was young, I knew a girl
Who wouldn't love god as a test
Or gamble with her happiness
And so led astray
So she did turn
Her father would say,
'You're only a guest of the master'
But passion was her sunday best
And she fell away
She fell away
She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own
Na na na na
When she grew up, she fell in love
She thought it was all that she wanted
She knew how it felt to be haunted
And he ran away
Picked herself up
And said through her tears
Don't waste anymore of your time
You'll spend it all standing in line
They'll turn you away
She fell away
She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own
Na na na na
Oh but superstition
And your heart's permission
'Cause you're good enough, good enough, good enough
To make it alone
Then when she died
She didn't ask god
To take her back into his graces
She'd taken on to many shapes
And too many were strange
And as they lay her in to the ground
Her spirits, they all flew all away
The sun shone so bright on that day
You thought it was spring
She fell away
She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own
Na na na na
Who wouldn't love god as a test
Or gamble with her happiness
And so led astray
So she did turn
Her father would say,
'You're only a guest of the master'
But passion was her sunday best
And she fell away
She fell away
She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own
Na na na na
When she grew up, she fell in love
She thought it was all that she wanted
She knew how it felt to be haunted
And he ran away
Picked herself up
And said through her tears
Don't waste anymore of your time
You'll spend it all standing in line
They'll turn you away
She fell away
She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own
Na na na na
Oh but superstition
And your heart's permission
'Cause you're good enough, good enough, good enough
To make it alone
Then when she died
She didn't ask god
To take her back into his graces
She'd taken on to many shapes
And too many were strange
And as they lay her in to the ground
Her spirits, they all flew all away
The sun shone so bright on that day
You thought it was spring
She fell away
She fell away
She fell away from the side of the lord
And she was free to do what she wanted
With clouds of her own
Na na na na
Duchess lyrics Neko Case
It's your bicycle bells
And your Rembrandt swells
You're children like
And still breathing
It's your look of loss
When you're coming across
Makes me feel like a thief
When you're bleeding
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess
Put all the love back in me
It's the Persian sea
Running through your veins
You shed your names
With the seasons
Still they all return
With there last remains
As they lay them before you
Like breezes
It's your shimmering dress
It says no
It says yes
It says i've nothing left for concealing
It's your shapeless flesh
And your old girl's grace
It's your young girl's face
That I'm breathing
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess
Put all the love back in me
I'm lying
She's crying
And your Rembrandt swells
You're children like
And still breathing
It's your look of loss
When you're coming across
Makes me feel like a thief
When you're bleeding
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess
Put all the love back in me
It's the Persian sea
Running through your veins
You shed your names
With the seasons
Still they all return
With there last remains
As they lay them before you
Like breezes
It's your shimmering dress
It says no
It says yes
It says i've nothing left for concealing
It's your shapeless flesh
And your old girl's grace
It's your young girl's face
That I'm breathing
Duchess, Duchess
Light up your candles for me
Duchess, Duchess
Put all the love back in me
I'm lying
She's crying

Somebody Led Me Away lyrics - Neko Case
You'll come in with the sun in the mornin'
Like you've done so often before
But you won't find me asleep on the sofa
Exhausted from walkin' the floor
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
My heart was slippin' away
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
Somebody led me away
And this time the note on your pillow
Will go a lot more than "I'm through"
For the guilt I'm feeling this time over leaving
Is that it's so easy to do
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
My heart was slippin' away
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
Somebody led me away
Like you've done so often before
But you won't find me asleep on the sofa
Exhausted from walkin' the floor
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
My heart was slippin' away
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
Somebody led me away
And this time the note on your pillow
Will go a lot more than "I'm through"
For the guilt I'm feeling this time over leaving
Is that it's so easy to do
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
My heart was slippin' away
'Cause while you were leadin' somebody on,
Somebody led me away
Misfire lyrics - Neko Case
Don't you misfire to fill me up
With the desire to carry on.
Don't you know honey that love's a game.
It's always hit or miss, so take your aim.
Gotta hold on tight,
Shoot me out of sight.
Don't you misfire to fill me up
With the desire to carry on
Your gun is loaded and pointed my way
There's only one bullet so don't delay
Gotta time it right
Fire me through the night
Come on, take your shot
Fire me higher
Dont you miss this time
Please don't misfire.
With the desire to carry on.
Don't you know honey that love's a game.
It's always hit or miss, so take your aim.
Gotta hold on tight,
Shoot me out of sight.
Don't you misfire to fill me up
With the desire to carry on
Your gun is loaded and pointed my way
There's only one bullet so don't delay
Gotta time it right
Fire me through the night
Come on, take your shot
Fire me higher
Dont you miss this time
Please don't misfire.
