Holding Down the Laughter Lyrics


Styrofoam cup of mud in my good hand
Disembodied voice of God in the trash can
Eyes in the ashes, feeling for the future
Sleeping through the steak out, researching the rumorMy old motor and mattress of memories
First you were embarrassed, but how could you not be
Tangled in teenage mum at the movies
Your voice ran out out of words, it was awkward and homeyGospel in your belly, they aim a little lower
Back into the bleachers, spoke as it's owner
Syndicate a sermon you sang from the raptors
Anchors in your pockets, holding down the laughterTearing up your mind, your lust and your ego
Slingshot a martyr to speed your libido
Perish grows to jelly, blissful and wasted
Your fish knew I consult them pictures of them nakedYou're complicating your worst mixed messes
You built them burned to bridge
And scattered all your crumbs at the cliff
She wants me, she'll swim for itBrother, can you spare your arms or your arrows?
Thunder clap's arising, I think that I should go home
To the days when back barns, it melts me

Nineteen ninety six and you're waiting there to tell me"I didn't die, you dreamed it, you dreamed it
I'm as alive as your backward intentions
Sorry that I tricked you, you had to focus
Put yourself together, clear out, you got this"But for all that effort
The slow burned struggle
I forgot where you liveShe swept away the clues from the cliff, you're lost now
She swept away the clues from the cliff, you're lost now
She swept away the clues from the cliff, you're lost now
RememberingShe swept away the clues from the cliff, you're lost now
Remembering

Enjoy the lyrics !!!

Bad Books, simply put, is Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra. A true accident if there ever was one; Bad Books was never an intended nor calculated side project of Kevin Devine and Manchester Orchestra’s Andy Hull. Though the two musicians have collaborated and performed together on tour and within the Favorite Gentlemen community of artists for years now, the genesis of Bad Books came from a simple idea to fill space and time off the road by collaborating on a small batch of songs together at the top of the year.
