Ernest Hemingway

Careful now
Ernest Hemingway thoughts in my head
Make it stop
Electricity tears em to shreds
Overwhelmed
Sweet simplicity makes me feel sane
Come around
maybe later, let's do this again
And I start to see
Bullets floating on the breeze
And I start to hear
Bells ringing in my ears
Sleep it off
Ernest Hemingway dreams in the night
Fifth of scotch
drowns the memories, lime on the side
And I start to see
Bullets swimming out to great me
And I start to hear
Bells ringing in my ears
Saw him in the bar
Drinking after dark
Unkempt and lonesome
I couldn't stand to see him that way
Said "Mr. Hemingway
tell me everything
I'll take you home if you want"
And I start to see
Bullets shooting into me
And I start to fear
THE BELLS RINGING IN MY EARS
Oh my god
Ernest Hemingway,
Gun's in my mouth
Steady now,
trigger finger let's work this thing out...

Gia
Can you make room for two
The bouncer doesn't seem to like you
Oh girl it's just so good to meet ya
Gia
I need the story of your life
Just tell me anything you'd like
Just lie and i'll have no idea
Gin Rummy nights,
I hate to fight with you
Louisiana's nice
San Bernardino's good too
I hope you'll be alright
Cuz it gets awfully cold at night
when your alone
Oh Gia hurry back home!
Gia
Oh now you're whining all time
And now it's time to say good night
Nah nah you're not leaving with me
Gin Rummy nights,
I hate to fight with you
Louisiana's nice
San Bernardino's good too
I hope you'll be alright
Cuz it gets awfully cold at night
when your alone
OH GIA HURRY BACK HOME
Here, take my coat...

One Step Ahead
03:54
|

You've been around for just too long now
cuz when i look into your eyes
they make me tremble, make me fall down
the falling counteracts the high
Makes me feel alright
I'm doing just fine
And so I hover in the darkness
Caught in the limbo of your life
But when I couldn't stand the closeness
I had to give it one last try
Make me feel alright
I'm doing just fine
PLEASE don't go
I had to do it
but what it was I did I still don't know
Would stop at nothing
but of course I stopped when. you. told. me no
You're always one step ahead of me
Always one step ahead of me
What makes you slower than the other guys?
What makes you think they're worth a bit of your time?
You're always one step ahead of me
Always one step ahead of me
You're always one....

Mile to Go
01:56
|

I've got a mile to go
Showered for a while
Senses in denial
(Keep your eyes on the road!)
I've got a mile to go!
I Keep my eyes on the road
Students cross walking
Looking for some parking...
(You've got some places to go!)
I'll Keep my eyes on the road!
I've got some places to go
Teacher: apathetic
Book: I haven't read it
(But there's so much to know!)
And I've got some places to go!

The Cold Shoulder
03:20

Mommy's afraid for her boy
So easy to upset and annoy
Now he ignores her
The Cold Shoulder
Starting to question some things
Detaching some of the strings
He's taking over
Nobody told her
And it makes me feel older x2
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL OLD
Oh mommy's afraid for her boy
So easy to upset and annoy
How it destroys her
The Cold Shoulder
And it makes me feel old
(you sent him off and now ya lost him
He's coming home a little different)
And it makes me feel older
(you sent him off and now ya lost him
He's coming home, just keep your distance)
AND IT MAKES ME FEEL OLD
