Johnny Ripper

Lyrics for Johnny Ripper

Twilight's million battered lips Sleep in a house of fractured smiles Young love's clumsy fingertips Are gonna find out for themselves The birds keep on singing From the tops of trees But the song's out of tune That drips from the breeze There's a razor in the garden Waiting for a delicate head (Look out!) (Look out!) The diamonds sparkling where the trap doors swing Into the bottom of a cold misery Full of insults to add to your collection Oh, parking lots dangling from your diction Oh, daydreams bobbing in a shattered sea Sirens dancing where the nooses swing From gutted branches of your fantasies Full of insults falling from your ceiling Oh, motels where you're fucking without feeling Oh, daydreams bobbing in a shattered sea Fake leaves shake like deceit on your tongue Desperate mothers devoured by young Hold on to love you learned to despise Like an ocean choking on its own tide There's a razor in the garden Waiting to cut through your seams (Look out!) (Look out!) There's a razor in the garden Waiting in to cut through your knees (Look out!) (Look out!) The dull years drag the best days of you life Through asphalt and glass While summer's favorite fathers Birthing next year's deadbeat dads Let's tack up another eviction note To matrimony's throbbing throat Until they're stuffed with songs from a synthetic past Silver clouds and artifacts Full of insults to add to your collection Oh, Parking lots dangling from your diction Oh, daydreams bobbing in a shattered sea Ooh oh, bobbing in a shattered sea Ooh oh, bobbing in a shattered sea
