Spitting Venom

AlphabetLyrics.com


We were spitting venom at most everyone we know
If the damned gave us a road map then we'd know just were to go
Now let it drop.

Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off.

Well you were talking soda pop
You were talking quite a lot
The opinions that I do not give
The opinions I ain't got
So let it drop.

Let it all drop
Let is all drop
Let it all fall off there oh...

Well you were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If you truly knew the gravity you'd know just where to go
Well let it drop.

Let it drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off.

My ears were pressed so firmly right against your mouth to hear
When you tried to spit the venom out your words were not so clear
Now drop.

Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for fucked up history
Hold on to what you need
We've got a knack for messed up history.

Well we went downtown and we sat in the rain
Both looking one direction and waiting for a train of thought over
Thought over.

I didn't know you kept track I didn't know there was a score
Well it looks like your the winner and I ain't gonna play no more
It's over
Game over.

Well we walked real stiff and our canes hit the ground
You hit me with yours
And said, 'you're gonna stare me down'
It's over
Oh it's over.

You can say what you want but don't act like you care
It takes more than one person to decide whats fair
Its over
Think it over.

You were spitting venom at most everyone you know
If the damned gave you a road map then you'd know just where to go
So we carried all the groceries in while hauling out the trash
And if this doesn't make us motionless I do not know what can
What a rotten thing to say such an awful thing to say
I didn't mean to bite you, sorry
I always did what I always did what I always had to sling
So let it drop.

Let it all drop
Let it all drop
Oh let it all fall off.

Let it drop
Let it all drop
Let it drop
Oh let it all fall off.

Cheer up baby it wasn't always quite so bad for every
Bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
[X7]

Cheer up...

Cheer up baby it wasn't always quite so bad for every
Bit of venom that came out, the antidote was had
[X6]
