Newmyer's Roof
There were those same bloodsuckers in the lobby again And when they called out my name I waved I thought they might be my old friends They had the cross in the car They had the pig in the pen I was in the bathroom doing my best to ascend
Doubting Thomas had the party supplies He said he likes how it looks When I roll back my eyes
The studio sent a car to collect me When the driver dropped me off at the lot He said he'd never forget me The publicist picked up lunch again I had Pabst and some pemmican She said, 'Man, you're so damn American,'
Doubting Thomas had his eyebrows raised He said he liked me much better When I was walking away
No I've never been crucified I've never suffered and died I've never been shot But I've been lied to a lot
Hotel lobby, late night TV You're either up on the stage Or you're down on your knees Blood on my hands, ash in my wine You can see how I get anxious sometimes Nails in my hand, blood in my eyes I feel pretty cool, but I know I look fried
All these tall tales and one tiny truth Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com I saw the towers go down from up on Newmyer's roof Yeah, we were frightened, yeah we were drinking It was all so confusing
Doubt Thomas went and talked to the cops He said this sure seems like an inside job
No I've never been crucified I've never suffered and died I've never been shot But I've been lied to a lot
Hotel bar, the game on TV You're either up on the lights Or you're out on the streets We always want more, but we get what we need I saw your girl at the movies She seems pretty sweet
Doubt Thomas has the cynical take He said the more you destroy The more that you make
No I've never been crucified I've never suffered and died I've never been shot But I've been lied to a lot
Look at these mountains Look at these trees Tom, there must be something you believe Look at these mountains Look at these trees Tom, there must be something you believe
