Kicking A Couple Around

Smog Kicking A Couple Around歌詞
1.Your New Friend

When the conversation is over
And there's nothing left to say
I know what you're going to do
So i'm going my seperate way
You're going to call your new friend
On the telephone
I wonder what you call him
When i'm not home
Now this has been
Going on every night
Since that week i left town
It really makes me think
I shoulda stuck around
So i'm.. going to my living room / bedroom
You know this is apartment is so small
We used to share a bedroom
Until you got that call

You close your door
So firmly
That i put up
My chinese screen
But you know
I cant hide a thing at all

Now you've got your doors
And i wonder
What goes on
I've got my chinese screen
But you know
I cant hide a thing at all

You've got your radio on low
To cover the sounds
But your voice so soft, so soft
It could only be heard by your new friend

I've got my radio blasting
To show that i dont care about anything
You could possibly say to your new friend

Now you've got your door
And i wonder
What goes on
I've got my chinese screen
But you know
I cant hide a thing at all
And all that i can think of
Is that how you used to be me
On the phone to you
While your lover died.. outside..
And in this chair tonight
I wouldnt mind if i die
And left you to your new friend
Your new friend

Now dont get me wrong
I know.. i'm still your boyfriend
But that doesnt mean a damn thing at all
As long as you've got
Your new friend


2.Back In School

I saw you standing there
With your hand in his hair
And his hand in
Your back pocket
I couldnt help but stare

I wanted to tell you
That i was back in school
But in the dark of the club
I knew it wouldnt carry much weight
Well, i'm trying to learn your language
I'm trying to learn your language

I came to your party empty-handed
I came to your party, uninvited
I came to your party, a headstart on the drinking

I wanted to tell you
That i was back in school
But in the chit-chat, chit-chat should that...
Well, i'm trying to learn your language
It's like a fly learning how to bark
I'm trying to learn your language
It's like a fly learning how to bark

That smile on your face
That smile on your face
That smile on your face
I try to erase
That smile on your face

But a kiss was not the answer
A kiss was not the answer
A drunken kiss was not the answer


3.I Break Horses

Well i rode out to the ocean
And the water looked like tarnished gold
I rode out on a broken horse
Who told me she'd never felt so old
She asked me if i'd feed her
And ride her now and then

No no no, no no no, no no no,
I break horses
I don't tend to them
I break horses
They seem to come to me
Asking to be broken
They seem to run to me
I break horses
Doesn't take me long
Just a few well-placed words
And their wandering hearts are gone

At first her warmth felt good between my legs
Living breathing heart-beating flesh
But soon that warmth turned to an itch
Turned to a scratch
Turned to a gash
I break horses
I don't tend to them

Tonight i'm swimming to my favorite island
And i don't want to see you swimming behind
Tonight i'm swimming to my favorite island
And i don't want to see you swimming behind
No i break horses
I don't tend to them


4.The Orange Glow Of A Stranger's Living Room

Under stars of violet
Under stars of green
Under stars of silver
Under stars.. of you

When i walk the city streets at night
I'm scared shitless
When i walk the country roads at night
I'm scared shitless
But still i go out
'cause i get so restless

Under stars of violet
Under stars of green
Under stars of silver
Under stars.. of you

The orange glow of a stranger's living room
Looks so much warmer than mine
