Rocky Votolato - Uppers Aren't Necessary Lyrics
Lead me through these cities of imaginary trendsSomething's gonna be changingCome the morning time, my friendAs fickle as these streets areThey might not even wait around till thenI've got a lot to loseSo come and take it from me quickEverything you loseIf it makes you stronger it makes you sickTake these cities from meI'll build buildings up with my own bare handsThe uppers aren't necessary, the guilt is the coalThat keeps the fire burning to drive out the coldThat creeps in every corner crack and never leaves you aloneTill the lonely messengers come calling you back homeThe trees are stacked in rows on the side of the roadStripped of any dignity a birthing may have had100 thousand crucified on the Mojave I-5 lineSingers shepherds and salesmen all longing for someoneTo kill the joy of wondering and end all their desireTo help them to remember that the road is nothing but a liarThe uppers aren't necessary, the guilt is the coalThat keeps the fire burning to drive out the coldThat creeps in every corner crack and never leaves you aloneTill the lonely messengers come calling you back to the red doorCracked and crooked walk wayThe fence impaling the starsGhostly keepers lead the wayThrough railroads of abandoned carsThe tracks and city streets cut through like scars
