Sloppy Jane - The Constable lyrics
[Sloppy Jane - The Constable lyrics]
You happened years ago now but yesterday
I saw a man kicking a dog in the street
And from the distance, I thought
That you might be the man
And God, I wanted that dog to be me
Well, I tried not to stare
As he whimpered and died
Still attached to the leash
But in heaven, babe
There ain't no place to hide
'Cause some dogs sure do know how to bleed
Time spins around me but I'll stand still
'Til I fall ill or 'til I fold down dead
It was early this morning when
I opened my eyes
To find that I couldn't see
So I ran out the driveway
Straight into the highways
And slammed my head against the concrete
There was a thousand pink slugs
Out of my open skull
It was then I remembered the constable:
A once handsome horse, rusted into a toy
Just as I, a great man
Have grown into a scared little boy
Time spins around me
But I'll stand still 'til I fall ill
Or 'til I fold down dead
(Still wishing my hands were your hands)
So goodbye forever, forever I
Will see you again tomorrow to say good
Bye forever, forever I
Will you see again tomorrow to say goodbye
Goodbye forever, forever I
Will see you again tomorrow to say good
Tomorrow to say good
It takes forever to say good
So goodbye forever, forever I
Will see you again, will see you again
Tomorrow
The world is ending, the planet is shaking
Overtaken by the big blue screens
Some hid in the caves and
They screamed and they prayed
The ceilings fell and they
Were crushed beneath
A rocket ship from the shore
It took those who could afford it
To fight a war between heaven and space
Some took to the seas while
Others watched their TVs
Dying with dignity and grace
But I just ignored it, I sat on the doorstep
Of the house where you used to live
I couldn't hear a sound
I couldn't hear a sound
Well, they say love is loud
I saw a man kicking a dog in the street
And from the distance, I thought
That you might be the man
And God, I wanted that dog to be me
Well, I tried not to stare
As he whimpered and died
Still attached to the leash
But in heaven, babe
There ain't no place to hide
'Cause some dogs sure do know how to bleed
Time spins around me but I'll stand still
'Til I fall ill or 'til I fold down dead
It was early this morning when
I opened my eyes
To find that I couldn't see
So I ran out the driveway
Straight into the highways
And slammed my head against the concrete
There was a thousand pink slugs
Out of my open skull
It was then I remembered the constable:
A once handsome horse, rusted into a toy
Just as I, a great man
Have grown into a scared little boy
Time spins around me
But I'll stand still 'til I fall ill
Or 'til I fold down dead
(Still wishing my hands were your hands)
So goodbye forever, forever I
Will see you again tomorrow to say good
Bye forever, forever I
Will you see again tomorrow to say goodbye
Goodbye forever, forever I
Will see you again tomorrow to say good
Tomorrow to say good
It takes forever to say good
So goodbye forever, forever I
Will see you again, will see you again
Tomorrow
The world is ending, the planet is shaking
Overtaken by the big blue screens

Of the house where you used to live

I couldn't hear a sound
Well, they say love is loud
