HEADS. LYRICS

1. A Mural Is Worth A Thousand Words

Join me and run around to please all the boys in our company
Show these fucks who's leaving whose country

In it for good
In it for good ain't you?
In it for good
In it for good ain't you?

Take these Micks and show 'em who is who
Grab 'em up near the Shankill then they're through

In it for good
In it for good ain't you?
In it for good
In it for good ain't you?

I got me a loyal wife and kids
Football and a cause and skin on my head

In it for good
In it for good ain't you?
In it for good
In it for good ain't you?

2. Chewing On Kittens

Wake up at the Ambassador Hotel with fingernails and dust on the windowsill.
It's cold this November - with frost and ice and a room to remember.
I was dreaming of a carpenter named Scarver whose father's butcher's knife's a carver - broken into pieces.

Wake up at the Ambassador Hotel
Fingernails and dust on the windowsill
Wake up at the Ambassador Hotel
This room is cold as hell
Room is cold as hell
Room is cold

He hesitates
Please don't escape

'Cause I was leaving anyway
Why'd you say you won't stay?
Now I'm out - I'm checking out of this place
What you say?
Please don't escape.
How's about I'm getting off my face
And why'd you say you were leaving anyway?
'Cause I was leaving anyway.
Leaving anyway

Wake up at the Ambassador Hotel
Fingernails and dust on the windowsill
Wake up at the Ambassador Hotel
This room is cold as hell
Room is cold as hell
Room is cold
Room is cold as hell
This room is

3. Skrew

Go on and leave
Get out and see
Go on, you're free
Go on and leave

Putting it bluntly
It's just the way it has to be
Go on and leave
Leave

Others have passed through,
they listened and watched us all day too.
Never really learned to read,
with tricks you faked it, cold steam.

Now can you see that it is the way it's meant to be - these ranting maniacal screams.
Sparks and screws, maps and papers of old news.
With all these damn thoughts of you - I raised weights of such magnitude to lift you too.

Now can you see that it's the way it's meant to be
Go on now please
Leave

Go
It's just the way it has to be

4. Black River

There was a stream that ran right through my father's land, but when I go back it won't be there anymore.
Cold and dark and black - river runs through children's hands, fragile memories that won't be there anymore.

Black river
Won't be there anymore

I recall a broken man reaching for my father's hand - fighting to remember what won't be there anymore.
Cold and dark and black - river runs through children's hands, fragile memories that won't be there anymore.

Black river
Won't be there anymore

5. Foam

There's a storm in your teacup and you don't know who you really are,
Big fish in small ponds should learn to play without their hearts.
Mm the Styrofoam's burning and melting and then

In a house of boxes
As fragile as it gets
Falling and turning
Into a never-ending end

I thought about my mother and what had brought me here,
I had a thought and it was full of fear.
You stuffed your face, little piggy, and you opened up the door,
And soon you'll look to your toes and you won't see them anymore.

In a house of boxes
As fragile as it gets
Falling and turning
Into a never-ending end

6. The Voynich Manuscript

Where's Jim?
Buried deep under somebody's driveway no doubt
Where is he?
Buried deep under somebody's driveway no doubt
Digging all he likes and finding that there's no way out
Never seeing, not breathing, no whispers, no shouts.

Where's Jim?
Pushing daisies and sending us all crazy, how about?
Where is he?
Swimming with the fishes, never really missing, how about?

Just where is Jimmy at?
Just where is Jimmy at?
Just where is Jimmy at?
