graham smith - 2 guitars lyrics

Loading...

i’m much happier than i seem to be
life is laugh-out-loud hilarious
twenty-four hours a day
and i have stuck to that belief vehemently
and that’s no doubt the primary cause
of my uneven grief and malaise

so i’m still whispering
in case you haven’t noticed
i’ve gone halfway down to dumb and heaven only knows what’s next
and you’re still not listening
you’re losing your focus
the noise develops and envelops you until you’re deaf

but it’s just all too easy
another unproductive day
well, i ask you if you’ll ever need me
you say no, no
so i can say you never told me so

but you’re breaking the rules
you’re laying the groundwork for a rebellion
you’re playing with fire
you’re making a liar out of me

and you’re playing the fool
enabling the ouster of all your skeletons
take a minute and let it settle
and are you proud to be a runaway?
amongst a throng of strangers
a threat if only to yourself
so you quench your thirst with some new anger

but it’s never, ever quite enough
and the evidence is piling up
and the slender ties that bind us are stuck
i’m out of time and i am f-cked

this absolutely wasn’t supposed to happen
it was supposed to be a walk in the park
but then these storm clouds descended and our sojourn ended
and now we’re making art in the dark

and i told them not to say a single word to you
and this is the last thing that i intended to put you through
what could i have expected her to do?
and by some cruel twist of fate the last thing she heard was

two guitars, one manic and one angry
that faded like two streaks of light
they sounded like a happy family
as they kissed her sunken cheeks goodnight
to float away on down the river
and never come upstream again
oh, i promise that i won’t deliver her

she buried me in tennessee
far away from venice beach and all the enemies i’ve made here
we had such good chemistry
i never needed you to censor me, or treat me tenderly
but then that plenipotential energy
poured down like rain and rendered me utterly unendingly speechless
so now, by god, i hope you see
you could’ve been a better friend to me
i’m sure you’ll whistle as the threnody plays

but as they drop my body into the brusque, indignant earth
i know you’ll realise how sorry you are for whatever it’s worth
but unfortunately that’s precious little
and a few precious uncaptured moments too late
it’s over, baby, it’s official
so now tell me, was it worth the wait?
