daisy chain drive me insane
it's a pain in my brain
i'm no good
rock and roll
not my show
got no drums can't really sing
it's pretty slow
the lights are on
i play a simple song and hope that they sing along
but they dont
i'm no good
oh the shame
find me a train
buy me a plane to anywhere but here
try my best to impress
but my fingers hurt
they need a rest
understand?
i play drip
my song about her trip
there's always a trembling lip halfway through
i'm no good
yeah
i look in the crowd and think maybe it's a dream
i see her face and i got to relearn how to breathe
yeah

have a piece of my brain
i heard that it makes you go insane
come take my hand
and catch a ride to tattoo land
we're a couple of jokes
trying to be regular folks
it's a personal thing
something I would rather not sing

father john he was a friend of mine
he taught me to live between the lines
that old man had lived a thousand lives
reading books until the day he died
who will hear my fears
lily is gone and there's no one here
who will hear her fears
if i'm not there to dry her tears
she admits that there are things she does
that wouldn't fly with him who lives above
lily is a thing you learn to love
only miss it when it's good and done
who will hear my fears
lily is gone and there's no one here
who will hear her fears
if i'm not there to dry her tears

i don't know what it is
that makes her want to cry
some days she's okay
some days she gets high
she's a wild wind some days
blowing through my brains
i need to put her down for a day
let her go her way
i don't know how it feels
is this fake or real
all i know is she drags me down
with her wild winding wheel
she's a smokin' gun some days
blowing through my brains
i need to put her down for a day
let her go her way
