Joe Henry - Shut Me Up lyrics
Your rating:
The song wants to repeat just now, It sings itself to show you how, It throws away its finest line Just to keep the feel and time. Just to keep The feel and time, It throws away now Its finest line. The word wants just to leave my tongue, To turn your face, and when that's dope I've got no use for what it proves, It only means the way you move. It only means The way you move, I've got no use now For what it proves. Close your eyes and shut my mouth, The day has worn its welcome out. It pats you down and cuffs your hands And makes its bed right where you stand... The prayer wants to believe in you And does in spite of all you do, It sings itself just like a song When hope is weak and pride is strong. When hope is weak And pride is strong, It sings itself now Just like a song. The thought wants nothing more than show How little now you really know. It burns then it turns cold and mean Taking any offer sight unseen... The song wants to repeat just now, It sings itself to show you how, It throws away its finest line Just to keep the feel and time. Just to keep The feel and time, It throws away now Its finest line.
