the lion sleeps tonight

smirnoff black. lcd soundsystem. she sells sanctuary. she's in parties. emerge. take your hair out of the ashtray please. cool black shirt. i can't see anyone else smiling in here. it's 02.30 somewhere. ice. lemon slice. shoppping & fucking. you are so full of yourself. numb. don't go. even better than the real thing. we are so fucked up. tears. i am the only one to blame. hush hush. snoring. early morning wake up... ringtone. subway. no music. screenings. lights out. cold outside. nice. makes you feel less numb. that's a welcome feeling. back @ the office. a mountain to climb. tell me how am i supposed 2...

I'm waist deep, waist deep in the mist
It's almost like, almost like i don't exist
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons

The walls of pride are high and wide
Can't see over to the other side
It's such a sad thing to see beauty decay
It's sadder still to feel your heart torn away

One look at you and I'm out of control
Like the universe has swallowed me whole
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound

There's too many people, too many to recall
I thought some of'm were friends of mine, I was wrong about'm all
Well, the road is rocky and the hillside's mud
Up over my head nothing but clouds of blood

Oh, the winds in this city have torn me to shreds
Reality has always had too many heads
Some things last longer than you think they will
There are some kind of things you can never kill

It's you and you only I been thinking about
But you can't see it and it's hard lookin' out
I'm twenty miles out of town in cold irons bound
