lyrics

Your heart is just a tenant and that’s all that it is
Your heart is just a tenant and that’s all that it is
Your heart is just a tenant and that’s all that it is
Like a bluebird with a shotgun underneath your chin

Hand me the peanut butter, I think there’s one scoop left
Hand me the peanut butter, I think there’s one scoop left
Hand me the peanut butter, I think there’s one scoop left
We’ll stay in bed and get the rest of our rest

We always know why we do the things
That we do—we just say that we don’t
We lie and we lie and we lie and we lie—
Kinda hope that everybody knows
Kinda hope that everybody knows

Lift your hands
If you hurt someone
Lay them now
On your face
Keep ‘em there
If you been hurt
Let the blood move on into place
Let the blood move on into place

Hey there wait now what was your name?
Hey there wait now what was your name?
Hey there wait now what was your name?
Picking me out your teeth with a rattlesnake

You hung up the phone you were a mess in love
You hung up the phone you were a mess in love
You hung up the phone you were a mess in love
Don’t matter who or when that’s what you was

(rpt bridge and chorus)

The blood in your face is the blood in my face
The blood in your face is the blood in my face

(rpt forever)
