joplin rice – warheads (straw dogs) lyrics
did you run off to your cabin to get high?
to leave me on this island with the president?
they shot him in the head beside his wife
she tried to put his brains back but they wouldn’t fit
because you can’t re-ssemble what’s been blown away
you ought to know from the times you tried to make me pray
i dream that you leave me every night
we’re just straw dogs among ten thousand mighty mysteries
you want to spend all of your time with your gl-ss eye
i tried it once before but it just made me sick
now i’m swallowing white circles to survive
you’re disappointed because i can’t do much on top of it
but you can’t recreate something that’s made of skin
or is it better when you’re sitting home alone with it?
when every word’s a trick just to get by
and every smile’s a secret spelled with muscle movements
i dream that you leave me every night
i’m aching but there’s no one here to try and soothe it
i crawled across your aching plains and swollen swells
to that sad place where no one ever gets to go now
