about

Feel the steam on your face.

lyrics

Verse1
Nothing could be more rude than the truth
When it hurts sometimes,
it hurts just like a rotten tooth

Verse2
Nothing could be softer than a kiss
When she sends one my way,
It feels just like slipping into a warm bath

Chorus
Heard nothin’ new in the song you sing
Copycat chords and they call you the king
A songs not old no it’s always clean
When its squeaked thru the pipes and the rolling steam

Verse3
I wouldn’t know how to draw somebody in
How to set up a trap and to make it swing

Verse4
One side of my brain is cryin’ while the other side just doesn’t want to quit
it wants to keep on keepin on tryin’

Chorus:
Heard nothin’ new in the song you sing
Copycat chords and they call you the king
A songs not old no it’s always clean
When it’s squeaked thru the pipes and rolling steam

Middle 8
So weak, I know, and when you’re down youre really underneath
People walk over you till you learn to like the taste of leather, it’s your pleasure

Chorus
Heard nothin’ new in the song you sing
Copycat chords and they call you the king
But a song isn’t old it’s always clean
When squeaked thru the pipes and the rolling steam
