Album: Transmatic

Ball And Chain

Rollin' by the pool the falling stars are not condescending.
It was me - the twins with nothing on and nothing's wrong
Are we going straight to heaven?
I think it's necessary...to find exactly where we come from.

CHORUS: Don't advertise what you want to hide...don't bring me down.
You finish what you start or it all breaks up now.
When we're so close to home...I know we are.

Feeling less than bulletproof
Singing "Dixie come and save me"
The neon blurs more than my eyes can contain.
Oh now you're gonna crash to early
I'm stoned, I'm empathetic
Claimed that you wanted this as much as me now.

CHORUS: And I'm feeling like...your ball and chain
This ain't no way to make you happy.
We are getting high just to get through the night
All seasick - wake up poolside.
Well it's no problem, yeah, it's not a crime

To believe in things defined
And if I fade away, I'm blind
I'm blind.

Is that what you wanted?
I don't wanna recognize
That's what you wanted
I don't want to recognize

That I'm feeling like your ball and chain
This ain't no way to make you happy (are you the one for me?)
We are getting high just to get through the night
All seasick - wake up poolside. (I want you to be mine)
Is that what you wanted?
I don't want to recognize
That's what you wanted
I don't. I don't. I don't.
