High Road lyrics - Cocorosie
Run run little girl
Man is hunting in the woods
Run run little girl
Man is hunting in the woods
Splintered into many pieces
Bruised at the hips and at the creases
I ran away and pray the breezes
Carry me beyond the treeses
Skinned my knees, a bloody warning
Run little girl, for man is hunting
A raven shot, a silver arrow
Run little girl, the path is narrow
On the high road
Never say "die"
Blind to the world
One over eight
Drunk as a lark
It comes to blows
Hard knock life
The story goes
Never cry wolf
Don't tell lies
Don't let the boys
Between your thighs
Run run little girl
Man is hunting in the woods
Run run little girl
Man is hunting in the woods
Hunter is a lonely heart
Guard me forest in your dark
Dodging hands I slip between
Slow motion just like a dream
Invisible I make escape
Run little girl, the voices say
A flash of red, a bloody warning
Run little girl, for man is hunting
On the high road
Never say "die"
Blind to the world
One over eight
Drunk as a lark
It comes to blows
Hard knock life
The story goes
Never cry wolf
Don't tell lies
Don't let the boys
Between your thighs
All in a row
Girls brown eyed
Face your demons with open eyes
High on the road, daddy don't go
Life knocks hard, when you're gone
Mercy lyrics - Cocorosie
Who's the next batter up? Cat scratch the duck
Feathers will fly, good luck for passer by
Short ran yours, dream ends here
Over game, crying in the mirror
A melted face winks back
Made of drippin' candle wax, candelabra
You're trying not to slobber
You're sobbing on the inside like a broken ballerina
Voices of demons and laughing hyena
Dog pile gang bang, devil jump you in for life
Doing time in the hole, your black soul recites
Soliloquies of bible rhymes
Kids, cover your ears, cover your eyes
Daddy's telling lies yeah, he deceived you
With all that hoodoovoodoo, he deceived you
Oh your begging, your begging
Your begging, your begging
You'll be begging for mercy
You'll be begging for mercy
You'll be begging, begging, begging
All that hoodoovoodoo...
Shady shaman in the grass
Studying UFO's, seducing the you know who
Unicorn, still born, under this sun
Another world you tried to show us
Through tobacco stained sermons
Smoke and haze
horror show back in the days
back in the days
You, lock up your wife, duck-tape and a butcher knife
Kids, cover your eyes, cover your ears
X-rated horror flick make me sick, I do poetry
You're full of tricks, classic craft witches black
We race potato sacks, paddy cake, our daddy's wack
Wicked, butterfly guts, this guy is nuts
Traumatized by criminal eyes, mad doggin' paedophiles
Even evil has a code, fork in the road
You took the wrong turn every time
Swagger like your soul's divine
Begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I'll get you on your knees
Begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I'll put you on your knees
You'll be begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I'll get you on your knees
Begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I'll put you on your knees
You'll be begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I'll put you on your knees
Begging for mercy
Begging for mercy
I'll put you on your knees
Restless lyrics - Cocorosie
Her heart is restless and ready to fight
On a white horse all blue in the moonlight
She rides with grace in the wrong place at the right time
That's how she found you but that's how she lost you too
She's got her shoes fixed with glue, sole like brand new
A stranger's place, that's where she takes her heartless rest
Her restless soul fell asleep at the wheel counting sheep
And dreaming of days out West with her rodeo clown, her man, her best
She walks the streets with bloody feet preaching to birds
She lost her head, voices of angels calling her name
Her loveless grace, the trial of her life, ready to burst her destiny ripe
It took this long for him to be gone for her to say goodbye
Dirty tricks, crucifix, had enough of this
Life of cuts and nicks, ticks and fits
Alchemist of light and dark, tried to keep that little spark
Her love was blind, it shattered her mind, and now she's gone wild
In the moonshine with no mother and no child
She had to leave her old man behind
A deadbeat dad, another clown sad
Traded their love for cheap wine
And now she hit the road without a Jack or a John
And the story goes on, one day she'll find her Don
The trial of her life, ready to burst her destiny ripe
Her love was blind, it shattered her mind
It took this long to leave him behind
She lost her way
She lost her way
She lost her way
She lost her way
And with no trace to find her way home
The trial of her life, ready to burst her destiny ripe
It took this long for him to be gone, for her to say goodbye
She lost her way
She lost her way
She lost her way
She lost her way
She lost her way
She lost her way
She lost her way
She lost her way
And with no trace to find her way home
Smash My Head lyrics - Cocorosie
Smash my head on the rock
I barely feel it
Twist the hands on the clocks
Time is slowing
Run across a burning bridge
We barely make it
Smash my face on the wall
Pa is calling
A murder of crows
The thunder blows
Tears are falling
A murder of crows
The thunder blows
Tears are falling
Smash my heart into bits
I am broken
Twist my soul inside out
I'm still breathing
Run across my burning heart
You can't break me
Smash my face, take my hand
Twist my heart, run my man
Murder the crow
Thunder blow
I am broken
Murder the crow
Thunder blow
I am broken
Smash my heart into bits
I am broken
Twist my soul inside out
I'm still breathing
Run across my burning heart
You can't break me
Suck my soul into night
Stars are falling
Rushing by a million mirrors
Angels calling
Pull my hair into sky
I am flying
Pull my hair into sky
I am flying
Pull my hair into sky
I am flying
Pull my hair into sky
I am flying
Pull my hair into sky
I am flying
Pull my hair into sky
I am flying
Pull my hair into sky
I am flying
Where Did All The Soldiers Go lyrics - Cocorosie
It's my right to go
It may be unclear which way the water is running
It's the last dance, throw the bottle in the puddle, skinny legs and all
A mess of scramble, your skirt is torn, your tears tell it all
It's all or nothing, or nothing at all
The tears tell it all
It's all or nothing, or nothing at all
So where did all the sailors go?
So where did all the angels go?
So where did all the soldiers go?
Where did all the babies go?
When did all the mothers fall?
When did father stop to call?
The tears tell it all
It's all or nothing, it's nothing at all
The tears tell it all
It's all or nothing, it's nothing at all
The tears tell it all
So where did all the sailors go?
So where did all the angels go?
So where did all the soldiers go?
Hell's Gate lyrics - Cocorosie
From the cracking of the whip
Nanny worked down at the shop
Lifting hell's gate, she lifted hell's gate
From the cracking of the whip
Pappy worked down at the shipyard
Jail mate, jail mate
Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails, who knows, not I
False alarm, narrow escape
Nearly got my cousin raped
Hell's gate
Feathers ruffle hell's gate
Shoot the cat, shoot the crow
Empty pocket seed to sew
Daddy wore his baggies low
Stinky long john
From the cracking of the whip
Nanny worked down at the shop
Lifting hell's gate, she lifted hell's gate
From the cracking of the whip
Pappy worked down at the shipyard
Jail mate, jail mate
Shoot the cat, shoot the crow
Toss a penny, make it grow
Take the shine off
Take the shine off
Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails, who knows, not I
Time to pass on in them chips
If the shoe never fit
Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails to live or die
Time to pass on in your chips
If you've given your last wish
My momma taught me how to pray
I didn't know who to blame or who to thank
I see her face in the clouds
Pick a feather from the ground
Try to make my momma proud
What would she say to you?
Shoot the cat, shoot the crow
Toss a penny, make it grow
Take the shine off
Take the shine off
From the cracking of the whip
Pappy worked down at the shipyard
Jail mate, jail mate
Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails, who knows, not I
Time to pass on in them chips
If the shoe never fits
Toss a penny to the sky
Heads or tails, to live or die
Time to pass on in your chips
If you've given your last wish
Time to pass on in your chips
If you've given your last wish
Did Me Wrong lyrics - Cocorosie
Black and white, whole universe
White and black, paddywhack
Paddy cake, what's my little baby's fate?
Saw her name on the grave, didn't even misbehave
Never got to be a lover slave
Save her letters and her tears
Bad luck, broken mirrors
Daddy didn't want a queer, more than CIA he feared
Brittany speared, made a monster, hiding in the zoo
Ate the keeper, singing opera, there was nothing left to do
I say hello and you've got me all aflame
You say mellow and my water's cool again
You say come on and my heart is beating fast
You say get off, get me off before I crash
Talk me down low, to the ground
I'm feeling blue, I never knew a love like this
I recognized his faceless face
Like a wound that won't erase
Like a tomb for me to groom
Switchin' on my granny's broom
This house I kept sheen and swept
He meant no harm
But boy did he do me wrong
Boy you did me wrong
But boy you get me off
Boy you did me wrong
But boy you get me off
And so it goes
Another horror show of vows
Begotten, love forgotten
Side of the road, smashed up like kill
Love not to feel
Drag me up off the floor
One last dance, another chance is stolen
Heart [?] shot
Momma's all "baby girl" [?]
Praying for daddy to come home
Handed down blues, every shade, every hue
I beg our lady for the new
'Cause there's nothing left to do
I say hello and you've got me all aflame
You say mellow and my water's cool again
You say come on and my heart is beating fast
You say get off
Boy you get me off
Boy you get me off
Boy you get me off
Boy you get me off
Lamb And The Wolf lyrics - Cocorosie
ZYX and WV
UTS and RQP
O and M and LKJ
IHGFEDCBA
Here's a little story I'd like to tell
I'm the sister of Lucy, the angel who fell
He walks with his guns, big black pistol
Doing patrol, hunting for trolls
He stepped on a snail, the pore thing wailed
I'm afraid he got killed
The lamb and the wolf, it's always the same
The little lamb dies and the wolf gets framed
The wolf gets framed
Shepherd, shepherd, count your weares
Shepherd, shepherd, mend your tears
Pray to Mary, set you free
Close your eyes and count to three
Raise your glass and make a toast
Pour some out for all the ghosts
Oh it's always the same, always the same
Always the same, where the wolf gets blamed
It's always the same, always the same
Oh the little lamb dies and the wolf gets framed
It's always the same, always the same
Always the same, the wolf gets blamed
It's always the same, always the same
The little lamb dies and the wolf gets framed
I'm gonna have to call the FBI
At the grocery store there was a weird guy
He threatened my life not once, but twice
He's jealous of my piece of paradise
No more misses nice guy, they're tryin' to Britney Spears me
It's a conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy
(Conspiracy, conspiracy, conspiracy)
I cut my hair, rusted buzzer and a Dutch lit mirror
I snagged my lizard in my zipper and I'm bleeding tears
The sun is hot, I need to take me a shade
Like a southern dog droolin' over lemonade
I gotta keep my cool, cause I'm paranoid
Trying to wrangle all the tangles in this empty void
They talk back and my shadow laughs
The lamb and the wolf, it's always the same
The little lamb dies and the wolf gets framed
It's always the same, where the wolf gets blamed
It's always the same, it's always the same
Where the little lamb dies and the wolf gets framed
Oh, it's always the same, always the same
Where the little lamb dies and the wolf gets framed
It's always the same, always the same
Where the little lamb dies and the wolf gets framed
It's always the same, always the same
Where the little lamb dies and the wolf gets blamed
It's always the same, always the same
Where the little lamb dies and the wolf gets framed
Slow Down Sun Down lyrics - Cocorosie
Break-down, China-town, come-down, count-down
Cross-town, de-crown, down-town, evening-gown
Go-down, hand-me-down, ho-down, low-down
Melt-down, mid-town, Mo-town, night-gown
Throw-down, put-me-down, re-noun, rub-down
Shake-down, shanty-town, show-down, shut-down
Slow-down, sun-down
Slow-down, sun-down
Like a dead mouse in a flophouse
Nowhere else to go but up
Heavenwards is how it hurts
And even though my heart froze
I'm learning you're exactly what I chose
Boohoo, crying all into my witches' brew
Predisposed for heartache I suppose
Black and blue mom and pop juxtaposed
And it's just the way the story goes
She called me "Coco" called you "Rose"
Hand me down all your favorite clothes
Horseshoe tossed, all the fortunes lost
Love, she flew away with the doves
Now it's my time, my time to shine
I got my own crimes to do
Don't gotta pick up after you
But I just don't know what to do
With all these empty rooms
When you first laid eyes on me, did you never want to put me down?
Was I worth more to you than any girl in town, any girl in town?
When you first laid eyes on me, did you never want to put me down?
Was I worth more to you than any girl in town, any girl in town?
Tear my hair, throw my shoes, make love to you, I'll make love to you
I love you, I do, I guess, and you're so handsome, I got to say "yes"
Tear my hair, throw my shoes, make love to you, I'll make love to you
You love me, you do, I guess, and you're so handsome, I got to say "yes"
I got to say "yes"
Home is where you hang your hat, all of that, mouse and cats and dogs
What are the odds of finding love again, one that you can call your kindred spirit?
You want to hear it? Yeah
I was humiliated, ill-fated, impersonated
Immigrated, manipulated, liquidated, medicated, dilapidated, isolated
I was alone in my own home, is where the heart breaks
When you first laid eyes on me, did you never want to put me down?
Was I worth more to you than any girl in town, any girl in town?
When you first laid eyes on me, did you never want to put me down?
Oh was I worth more to you than any girl in town?
Tear my hair, throw my shoes, make love to you, I'll make love to you
You love me, you do, I guess, and you're so handsome, I got to say "yes"
Tear my hair, throw my shoes, make love to you, I'll make love to you
I love you, I do, I guess, I got to say "yes"
When you first laid eyes on me did you never want to put me down?
Was I worth more to you than any girl in town, any girl in town?
Burning Down The House lyrics - Cocorosie
Bums rushed out the door
Momma didn't want you anymore
A thornless rose in her side
A burden despite
Being bonded by blood lines
It wasn't the right time
She said "No more free load,
This is the end of the freak show"
Half shaved and heart broke
Half slewed and half snapped
A rat trap snapping back
Hand bone, hand me down
Baloney sandwich, lonely clown
Smoke, laugh, toke, craft
Porn, blood, piss, grass
Kiss, miss, heart, hand
Tried to take a stand
Down dropped sales low
The joys and woes
The curtains slowly close
Burning down the house
To smoke them out
(Smoke 'em out, smoke 'em out, the dead girl shouts)
I was on the verge like so many times
Got children and wives waving forks and knives
Burning down the house
The dead girl shouts
Burning down the house
To smoke them out
The new sound circles round
Slaughter raging, death dice fall, hot house burn down
Foes upon foes, west to east it goes
The dead girl says "Let's just be friends"
In the glorious tone of marrow and bone
These days of ore
The chance we meet once more
The smoke lightening crack asunder
The peel of guns and the boom of thunder
Burning down the house
To smoke them out
(Smoke 'em out, smoke 'em out, the dead girl shouts)
I was on the verge like so many times
Got children and wives waving forks and knives
Burning down the house
The dead girl shouts
Burning down the house
(I was on the verge like so many times)
(Got children and wives waving forks and knives)
To smoke them out
Burning down the house
To smoke them out
Burning down the house
The dead girl shouts
Burning down the house
To smoke them out
Burning down the house
The dead girl shouts
Burning down the house
To smoke them out
Burning down the house
The dead girl shouts
Burning down the house
To smoke them out
Burning down the house
The dead girl shouts
Ruby Red lyrics - Cocorosie
A sheep in devil's clothing
Wounded on her journey
Engraved upon her heart, she did
A solemn promise to be worthy
To be good by being bad
Working for the man
A different kind of Uncle Sam
Trading allegiance for power and power for sand
Lost the handle of the whip
Drinking poison in large sips
Can't catch the mockingbird whose words
Echoing mournful dirge
(Little momma ruby red)
Paint the fable of her death
And how she resurrects
(With your wings made of lead)
A secret hard to keep
On which no one will believe
(Hit the road and dust will fly)
Wolf crying of spilled milk
(Black birds fill the sky)
Little momma ruby red
With your wings made of lead
Hit the road and dust will fly
Black birds fill the sky
Let us now praise
The infinite loving ways
Known to all you touched
Butterflies exploding in the wake of you
Magical dust, lust
Kept locked in a secret box
Fear of sin
You told me just before you died
The last December of your life
"Life is too short to hide,
Let in the love, let in the light"
We saw it in your eyes, when they went 'round the room one last time
Your face already smiling God from the other side
"Was I ready to walk her home?", she said
"Tomorrow's never promised and always be honest"
Her breath is now our song
Lady Death is never wrong
Make no mistake, Lady Death is never wrong
Little momma ruby red
With your wings made of lead
Hit the road and dust will fly
Black birds fill the sky
Little momma ruby red
With your wings made of lead
Hit the road and dust will fly
Black birds fill the sky
Little momma ruby red
With your wings made of lead
Hit the road and dust will fly
Black birds fill the sky
Aloha Friday lyrics - Cocorosie
I'm the forensic on duty
How slowly did he go
Breath of smoke to and fro
Drifting in the flowers
I'm the forensic on duty
Mothers of darkness, darkness of mothers
Brown magic, grey magic, it's Aloha Friday
Held the lamb in my hand, beheld its eyes
Shocked wide with death
Beheld its eyes, shocked wide
Shadow of burden, burden of shadow
Flowerless gardens of graves built to shallow
Worms dreaming eyeless, rainbows are weeping
Weeping, weeping, the sky is bleeding
Weeping, weeping
Shadow of burden, burden of shadow
Flowerless gardens of graves built to shallow
Worms dreaming eyeless, rainbows are weeping
Weeping, weeping, the sky is bleeding
Weeping, weeping, the sky is bleeding
