Artist/Band:
The Gaslight Anthem
Lyrics for Song: Film Noir
Lyrics for Album: Live At Park Ave [2009]
I'm all washed out by the side of the road
Broken bones, Matilda left a note and a rose
Saying "Baby, honey child,
I love you so long but you deserve much better than me"
So I'm just burning all around, all the miles on the road
And I'm never going back, and I'm never going home
I've been gone too long, I've been less right than wrong
I've lost so much blood in the falling out
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
Until all I remember was burning away
And all I remember, you burnt it away
See for 10 long years I've been hustling around
Trying to wash the sins and sweat from my brow
Just trying to find a better life for me and my own
Just some rest for these tired working fingers
But nobody never gonna tell you the way
You gotta figure it out boys and suffer the rain
And the fools in the night, and the heat in the day
When all you ever really wanted was someone to understand
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
Until all I remember was burning away
And all I remember, you burnt it away
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry
Cross your hard heart and hope to die
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice
You got Monroe hips, your poison lips and eyes
And your sugar and spice, and everything nice
You got open wounds in a young boy's pride
[2x]
And I lit a fire that wouldn't go out
Until it consumed the walls and roof of this house
Until all I remember was burning away
And all I had left, you burnt it away
Well don't you take it so hard and baby don't you cry
Cross your hard heart and hope to die
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied all the time
Don't you tell me no more lies, you lied every night
