Deadwood b-side to I Think I'm Paranoid second single from Version 2.0 released 1999

LYRICS - DEADWOOD

Handcuffed in the present tense

Variations on your violence

Mind games and pretty girls

A cracked song in the universe

I think it's time that I showed you what I'm made of

I'm afraid there is so much to be afraid of

I kill the fire so I don't get burned

Kill the fire and you won't get burned

Deadwood if you care to listen

Looks the same but there's something missing

It wears me out

Stripped bare i'm the same old savage

I always claimed did we ever manage

It's not enough

Look me in the eye

I'm about to dive

Can you live your life

Without me

I don't need you anymore

I can't use you anymore

Killing the fire

And you kill the desire

I don't need you anymore

Loud and clear but you still don't get it

I call you up and then i regret it

It gets me down

You want the truth but you look right through it

Deadwood, but you won't run to it

It's such a shame

Look me in the eye

I'm about to dive

Can you live your life

Without me

I don't need you anymore

I can't use you anymore

Killing the fire

And you kill the desire

I don't need you anymore

I don't need you anymore

I can't use you anymore

Killing the fire and you kill the desire


regret no video or audio available yet but buy it if you can - it's awesome - *****5 stars
