lyrics

They say you got a chemical heart
To try to prove it different is the hardest part
They say it’s on the tip of your tongue
You’ve been making up excuses since you were young
I don’t wanna be your babysitter
I don’t wanna be your five a.m.
I don’t wanna be your Jake LaMotta
I don’t wanna date your ex-best friend
You’re standing on the edge of the world
You’re walking down the street like you’re this year’s girl
I’m calling it a chemical crime
You got a lot of nothing but it’s mine, mine, mine
Singin’ nah nah nah, nah nah nah
I don’t wanna be your Ike and Tina
I don’t wanna be your remote control
I don’t wanna be your Bernie Taupin
I don’t wanna be your stepping stone
They say you got a chemical kiss
You’re breaking down the atoms to get your fix
You’re looking like a knife in the heart
Wishing that it’s different is the hardest part
Singin’ nah nah nah, nah nah nah
Have you seen your mother baby sleeping on the floor
A permanent vacation crying in the shower stall
I don’t wanna be your ivory tower
I don’t wanna be your broken home

I don’t wanna be your plastic surgeon
I don’t even wanna walk you home
They say you got a chemical heart
To try to prove it different is the hardest part
I’m calling it a chemical crime
You got a lot of nothing but it’s mine, mine, mine

1st time i heard DeathWish, i turned it off. felt rushed, not the Isbell i've come to admire. really grab'd me when i took time to listen on the 2nd try. the writing on these songs stopped me in my tracks more than once. raw talent with just enough polish in the delivery. thankyou Jason + 400 for another keeper swirlingmadness
