Floyds

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

I just got on my plane today,
I don't know when i'm coming back.
Maybe a day or two, maybe a day or two.
I'm drivin' two hundred miles,
And haven't left the culdesac.
I'm feeling stuck like glue, i'm feeling stuck like glue.

(chorus)

I can wash my face, i can dress for real.
I can act like i'm cool, like it's no big deal.
As i stare at the clock,

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

I met you where the walls were velvet.
Slingin' chili in a corset.
Makin' love to every face that walked into the room.
It was never my intention to put your service on suspension.
But i wanted what was flaunted by no matter whom.

Oooh, oh no.
Here i go again i'm crazy.
Oooh, oh no.

Let's not talk about religion or about no evolution.
Let's not talk about the big bang.
Or about no air pollution.
I don't care about your habbits,
If all that i've heard is true.
I don't wanna talk until we're through.

You're kinda like a cartoon mirror.
Talking to me makes me shiver.
Water beadin' down your side onto the hardwood floor
I have to scold my dog because he licks it off the floor,
Before i even get a chance to taste a little for myself.

My head's spinnin' from the liquor,
That you bought from the bartender.
So excuse me if my center focus is just a little warped.
But you've got my full attention,
And i've got the best intentions.
If you'll only keep the deep stuff lyin' on the floor.

(butch: we totally grew up listening to bon jovi records,
I mean, just don't tell anybody.)

Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile i suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch the mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best.

Her name is rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dustly land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh rio rio dancer across the rio grande

I've seen you on the beach and i've seen you on tv
Two of a billion stars, it means so much to me -
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then i'm sure that you know it's just for you.

(chorus)

- hey now (wow), look at that.
Did he nearly run you down?
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive,
You make me feel alive, alive, alive
I'll take my chance, 'cause luck is on my side
I tell you something, i know what you're thinking
I tell you something, i know what you're thinking

(chorus)

Her name is rio and she don't need to understand
And i might find her it i'm looking like i can
Oh rio rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the north down to the rio grande

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

Well the shit town people drive their shiny cars,
But they have to use their wipers all the time.
When the flavor of the day, comes to play,
They all spend their $50 and stand in line.

Let me up, i don't want no more.
I tried to beg, but my knees got sore.
Let me up, i don't want no more.
Can't walk the walk with all the splinters in the floor.
Let me up, i don't want no more.
Tried to fake it, but my knees got sore, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I feel the stares from their blood shot eyes.
But, i've have to keep on walking, act like i'm blind.
If their lives are perfect anyway,
Then why are they always reaching for chunks of mine?

(chorus)

Do you really want it baby?
(what's your inspiration?)
Would you like to have it baby?
(what's your aggravation?)
Do you really flaunt it baby?
(like marilyn or presley?)
Do you really want it baby?
(my brain is going crazy.)

Well the shit town people drive their shiny cars,
But they have to use their wipers all the time.

(chorus)

(what's your aggravation?)
(what's your inspiration?)
(what's your aggravation?)

When i woke up in the morning my lover was gone.
I had a voice in my head 20 feet long.
Ohio river's where you need to go.
That's where they took a jump to save their soul.

The banks are sketchy and they're covered in clay.
So be careful where you walk and be careful what you say.
Cuz the people are listening to everything you do.
And they wont think twice about sinking you.

This is where we hide.
Down on the bottom, down on the bottom.
Well the water is kinda zoomy and my head is full of mud.
And the skies are always gloomy forming rainy clouds.
And the voices get closer with every step you take.
Closer to the edge, that's where you'll break.

Well your looks a little strange and you look a little red.
Were you careful where you walked?
And were you careful what you said?
Back to the river is where you need to go.
That's where i took a jump to save my soul.

(butch walker & chrystina lloree)

Desperation's such an uneasy feeling,
Passion is the path that leads me here.
Controllin' the mind is easier than the heart.
I see a goodbye in your eyes

Don't mean nothing, when the mirror breaks and the phone flies across the room.
Don't mean nothing, when you walk away when you say that you hate me too.
Are you sick and tired of being sick and tired all the time?
I think it's getting to you.
Don't mean nothing, guess i'll lay on the tracks and i'll wait on the 5:02.

On and on and on and on, (thoughts just keep on passing by)
Don't mean nothing, when the taxi man pulls away cause i ain't like him.
Don't mean nothing, when i can't get laid cuz my body ain't so trim.
Kind of sick and tired of always trying so hard to fit a square into a little round hole.
Don't mean nothing, guess i'll lay on the tracks and wait for the 5:04.

(chorus)

Don't mean nothing, when i look around and compassion is all i see.
Don't mean nothing, when all these things they don't mean shit to me.
Kinda sick and tired of feeling sorry for myself and never sorry for the alcohol.
Don't mean nothing, guess i'll sit by the tracks and wait on the train after all.

(chorus)
