about
One of my favorite songs by one of my favorite bands. After eight weeks, I finally got around to redoing the vox and instrumentation mix for this song about addiction. This version has still got some areas that need to be redone but it's much better than the first mix I posted :)
lyrics
Every thought that I repent
There's another chip you haven't spent
And you're cashing them all in,
Where do we begin to get clean again
Can we get clean again
I walk home alone with you
In the mood you're born into
Sometimes you let me in
And I take it on the chin
I can't get clean again
I want to know
Can we get clean again
The god of wine comes crashing through
The headlights of a car that
took you farther than you thought
You'd ever wanna go
We can't get back again
Ya can't get back again
She takes a drink and then she waits
The alcohol it permeates,
And soon the cells give way,
An' cancels out the day
I can't keep it all together
(Star, stuck underneath the moon)
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know...
I can't keep it all together
(Star, stuck underneath the moon)
And the siren's song that is your madness
Holds a truth I can't erase
All alone ON your face
Every glamorous sunrise
Throws the planets out of line
A star sign out of whack
A fraudulent zodiac
And the god of wine is crouched down in my room
You let me down, I said it
Now I'm going down, and you're not even around
And I said a no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
I can't keep it all together
(Star, stuck underneath the moon)
I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know...
I can't keep it all together
(Star, stuck underneath the moon)
And there's a memory of a window, looking through, I see you
Searching for something I could never give you
And there's someone who understands you more than I do
A sadness I can't erase ... All alone on your face.
