TOMAHAWK LYRICS

1. Oddfellows

Pit Vipers
Golden Dawn
Old straw nerves
Burning Strong

They call us oddfellows
We're dancing on the gallows
Who will judge you tomorrow?

From the hills,
Here they come
Cold magic
Please behold

We only know the odd way

We believe
We believe in

2. Stone Letter

Well I’m upset, cause I can check
It’s like I’m relying, speaking free
Like we used to be for such a long time
Well I throw you a stone letter smooth or rough
And I hope you read it one day, and feel the love

[Chorus:]
I’ve said it, stone letter
Thinking I could know you better
Cause I don’t know you, know you anymore
I wrote it, you got it
But tonight, thought about it, you don’t know me, know me anymore

… like a skeleton is talking too loud
I think I hear, I think I’m near a forest of clowns
Watching you degrade yourself, is degrading me
I got no say about you, I … anything

[Chorus:]
I’ve said it, stone letter
Thinking I could know you better
Cause I don’t know you, know you anymore
I wrote it, you got it
But tonight, thought about it, you don’t know me, know me anymore

na-na-na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na-na-na
na-na-na-na-na-na

[Chorus:]
I’ve said it, stone letter
Thinking I could know you better
Cause I don’t know you, know you anymore
I wrote it, you got it
But tonight, thought about it, you don’t know me, know me anymore
I said it, you read it
I said it, you read it

3. I.O.U.

I owe you a love song
For everything I done wrong
Don't worry about the long haul
The first time is hard
I'll help you make the short jump
You won't be here long
You know that we'll find a way!

I owe you a love song
For everything I done wrong
Just out the gates, son,
All cons love their moms
When you hear the dog's howl
Suck a reed in the swamp
Lie in the weeds, away...

Run!

Hey, hey, hey
Hey oh, hey oh
You'll be long gone;
I'll be waiting, son!

4. White Hats / Black Hats

You put your van in the back of the truck
And I hope that one they don't
If we continue with this loco look
We'll get just where we wanna go

Ain't got no goddamn flesh on the top
And amounts of no cash crop
I just look at you cuz I wait up
For the drums to stop

I got a hat and I can wear it big
No matter what the colours are
I got a hat and I can wear it big
No matter what the colours are

And I'll shoot you off the range
Sell your daddy's grange
What colour hat, what colour hat you wear
What colour hat, what colour hat you wear
I'll be dragging you off the line
Pinned you down as mine

You've got a black hat
You've got a white hat
What colour's that?
Don't know, just show your papers please
Show your papers please

Sitting down in this electric seat
My sexy-ass chaise lounge
This fight just like a vegetable knife
Growing up to the bloody sun
And all the crooks are pulling on your tie
No matter what the colours are

And I'll shoot you off the range
Sell your daddy's grange
What colour hat, what colour hat you wear
What colour hat, what colour hat you wear

Coming down, the nick of time
Might fit the limes
What colour hat
What colour hat you wear
Say what colour hat you wear
And roast you on the vine
Like some baby whined

You've got a white brim
Well, take a look at him
Turn around man
And just fucking show your papers please

Show your papers please
Show your papers please
Show your papers please

5. A Thousand Eyes

The night has a thousand eyes
He's got the sharpest knife
But I've got a thousand lives

I've got a thousand lives
And you are just one of mine
This cat gives me an extra nine

Speak louder
Godfather
You want what's mine
So show your face

Strike harder
You know what's mine
You want what's mine
I saw you

Cat burglar
So come inside
And show your face
To me

The night has a thousand eyes
You are just one of mine
I've got the eagle's sight

Come inside
Come inside
Come inside
Come inside

6. Rise Up Dirty Waters

We roll and roll
Roll and roll
To that frozen place (to that frozen place)
That forsaken face (that forsaken face)
Won't you come home?
Won't you come home?
To your frozen lips (to your frozen lips)
To a sunken ship (to a sunken ship)
We're reborn

Well I'm drunk what have we done?
From the west here comes the song
Hear the voices from beyond
Free the harem, here they come

Oh watch them near the hill
I'll check my head
Don't forget the lies
Thieves and thugs
I'm in my drive
I'm the one who said
Shattered glass and accidents
And all the flashing lights
Gotta get up
Gotta get up
Gotta get a rise

Angel's spit don't hit them
With what god has shown to me
Got in your face, gonna kill him
With lies so I say
I may no nay no no no no
To bring about the rain
Gotta get up
Gotta get up
Get a rise

Won't you come home?
Through melting snow
Let us roll
Rolling, rolling, roll and roll
What have we done?
Won't you come home
Rest your bones

7. The Quiet Few

The lacquer is creeping into the mirror
And you saw enough

You saw me lost and wandering and
You saw enough

By candlelight you're offering me
A halo of sun

Don't have the heart to go puncturing it
That sacred door

With a love
With a love
With a love

With a pride
With a pride
With a pride

With a love
With a love
With a love

The winds have blown and I'm sorry for me
Winds have blown I'm sorry for me

And the winds have blown
Winds have blown inside me

Don't linger upon the joy that's in me
It's just a naked ghost
Not hard for the boy that's long up in me
I'm just the host

They are the
They are the they
Me not they
Me not they they
They are the quiet few

They are the they are the they
Me not they me not they they
They are the quiet few

Walk away, walk away!

Walk away, walk away!

Walk away, walk away!

Run away, run away!

Run away, run away!

8. I Can Almost See Them

Up Scope
But I can almost see them

Just out of focus, you're so far away
Right out of focus, you're so far away

Down periscope
We all need, all need some rope
But I can almost see them

Just out of focus, you're so far away
Twist the barrel, not so far away

We all need some rope every now and then
We all need some rope every now and then

But I can almost see them

9. South Paw

Eat with the left
Wipe with the right
Eat with the left
Wipe with the right

Look at your ink
And all you can paint
Up inside me

The bite
That presses down
The pillow on your mouth

I lie tonight
Squirming on and on
And the radio plays

Tonight
We never
Never
Should have played make believe

You rub me so wrong
Rub me so wrong
Please keep your clothes on
Keep your clothes on

You rub me so wrong
Rub me so wrong
Play with a south paw

And the radio plays

What's that?
The thing on your lip
You got
Some shit
Hanging off your lip

Just bite it off
And save yourself
The embarrassment

And the radio plays
Radio plays!

On and on and on and on and on
Radio plays

You rub me so wrong
Rub me so wrong
Please keep your clothes on
Keep your clothes on

You rub me so wrong
Rub me so wrong
Play with a south paw

Eat with the left
Wipe with the right
Eat with the left
Wipe with the right

10. Choke Neck

Got a choke neck
Ain't a thing to respect
So say it ain't over
Say it ain't over

The blood is blunt
Give a guy some room
And say it ain't over
Say it ain't over

Get thick
Choke neck
Really get thick
Choke neck

Like a toothpick
Or a chopstick
Get thick
Choke neck

Found my treasure chest
Giving you the rest
Say it ain't over
Say it ain't over

And the tide is low
But the grip has grown
Say it ain't over
Say it ain't over

Get thick
Choke neck
Really get thick
Choke neck

Like a toothpick
Or a chopstick
Get thick
Choke neck

Say it enough times
And you might rhyme
Grant your wish
And look delish

Just give a shout
And choke me out
Say it ain't over
Say it ain't over

Just give a shout
And choke me out
Say it ain't over
Say it ain't over

Say it enough times
And you might rhyme

11. Waratorium

I got a love that's second to none
You and me and him makes it one

About as wide as the sea
Thinner than a butt of a flea

A love that slits its own throat
D'amour, je tiens peau

I got a love that's greater than me
With more bitch hatred than me
Got a thing more sacred than we
You and me and him makes three

Got memory, don't need a tattoo
Young blood, a dream fool
Horizon stretch-skin eyes
Le plume insure that carries lies

You will carry my lies

If they ask you don't know a thing
Just grab my piece and look through the ring

I got a love that's greater than me
With more bitch hatred than me
Got a thing more sacred than we
You and me and him makes three

Enter my waratorium
You are my weapon, my son
Countrydom is thicker than mud
You and me and him makes it one

I got a love that's second to none

You and me and him makes it one

12. Baby Let's Play _____

Baby, let's play dead
I got a hole in my head
Yeah, baby, let's play dumb
Straight to kingdom come
Let the ashes fall
Fall down on me tonight
Bone dry...
Bone dry...
Bone dry...
You know why
Baby, let's play ball
Let the power fall
Yeah, baby, play it again
Ad nauseum
Let it all fall down
Fall down on me tonight
Bone dry...
Bone dry...
Bone dry...
You know why

13. Typhoon

And they dipped my head in
The water blue
Rat's got a deep scar
Line's owned to you

On top of her
Once a lame
Rare as stone
Can't feel my leg

Remember that big fluke
When you said, Yes I do
Back by the creek

On top of her
Once a lame
Flood's will come
Can't feel my leg

Remember!
