Little Black Tank Lyrics

1. Rhythm in my bones

I've got rhythm in my bones
they say it's the devil's doing so
honey let's just rock 'n roll
'cause it don't matter anyway

honey we ain't got no time
honey we ain't got no time to kill
(repeat)

yeah, I got something like a soul
it resembles something cold
it's too young to be so old
but it don't matter anyway


honey we ain't got no time
honey we ain't got no time to kill
(repeat)


2. I Know, I Know (I'm not your lover)

I know I know, I'm not your lover
I know I know, I'm not your friend
I know you're dreaming of another
another one you wish you had

I know I know we're like two strangers
kicking down the river's edge
and we're both thinking 'bout the other
is this the traitor to my end?

are we in danger here of falling falling,
are we in danger here of fallling way too low (repeat)

I know I know, I'm not your lover
the one on which you do depend
I'm not even still a desire
Just a chilly winter's begin
I know I'm not the one you long for
I just help you pass the hours
I know you're looking up for bombshells
with magnetic atom power

are we in danger here of falling falling,
are we in danger here of fallling way too low (repeat)
 
We're just two subterfugal misfits
Singing songs 'bout summer's end
Our greatest tool passive aggression
Hyperbola our smoothest trend


3. Someone Like You

Give me someone just like you
full of bitterness and full of blue
it's a lousy state of truth

I'm a rover and I'm a cad
suck it up, no time for feeling bad
I'm gone tomorrow, don't wait for me
I am searching across the lonely sea

For someone like you. (repeat)

yeah i know that you are feeling blue
and i know that you are lonely too
but your surrender, is less than true

A little stranger set of reasons
a little stranger set of rhymes
i think we could find the time
but now i'm searching across the miles

For someone like you... etc

You'll want more from me, I guarantee
You'll want more and more and more and more.

I've got to be going now,
I don't want to see your frown
perk up baby, don't feel so bad
you were the best thing i never had

Someone like you.


4. Humology

flowing in, flowing out
lava runs wide into your skull
crashing out, crashing in
lightning rod underneath your skin

killing gun, come down everyone
we're good to go
going low for a taste, what have you got to say?
ratchet up
your latest squeeze is on her knees
looking to choke, how 'bout a smoke
we're like a disease

(chorus)
revving up the engine
running harder, faster, stronger, coming
over the mountain and 'round the bend
sifting through the dirty looks
to find you, my friend
one worth calling out...
calling out... you.

hey, check mate, even trade
you know i always got your back my dear
the weather's cold, whether or not
you're here to stay or leaving once again

making the trade, call out today
a fur for a lei
of lilly white, shade for the beast
it's worth remembering
better times, reach for a look
forgot what you took
Mr. Hole, come on let's roll,
we're like an old soul

(chorus)

paper flowers, from a stranger in the night
you gave your life for a moment such as this
a beautiful woman, a beautiful woman
is never worth the others that you'll miss

cash out the cigar, watching my movie
bleaching out white
silver sequoia, savior of moonbeams
where are you now?
pickling numbers, outside the tough questions
she's just a joke
call out your old lover, one after the other
they're in the old books

(chorus)


5. Stomping Ground

Pounding pavement
feeling distant
with a citrus twist, I'm stomping ground

Looking for an avenue where molasses pours like rain
and we are sugar cane
we can go out in style

Under the bright lights
into the dark night
energy downtown, with an upside chill

We'll find the showdown  muskrats to be quite plentiful tonight
but honey,
we can go out in style

You pull a fist on me
you'll never know what hit ya
oh no, you pull a fist on me
you'll never know what hit ya

It's hotter than hell
it's hotter than hell
in this shoulder sprain world

And time will eat us all
time will eat us all

Defiant Icarus
feels a drip drip drip on his toes
he later awakes on a crack in the pavement
fingers froze to the bone

He says honey don't be afraid, give a try
if we're going down anyway
we can go down in style

pounding pavement
feeling distant
with a citrus twist, I'm stomping ground


6. Here's to you (My little blue)

Here's to you, my little blue
here's to you my little blue
you are so true while you're hanging around,
while you're hanging around
here's to you, my little blue

I met you on a sunny summer afternoon
I met you when I met you
I was destined to a red hot coming down
sweet illusion serene delusion

Here's to you, my little blue
here's to you my little blue
you are so true while you're hanging around,
while you're hanging around
here's to you, my little blue

You're whimsical fancies
your simple dancies
your heaps of sweets hanging in my heart

in the winter in the springtime in the summertime
in the winter in the springtime in the summertime
in the fall
in the fall in to you

Here's to you, my little blue
here's to you my little blue
you are so true while you're hanging around,
while you're hanging around
here's to you, my little blue

Why'd I have to want you
why'd I have to want you
why'd I have to want you



7. Tornado Watch

Your mind is a pretentious wasteland
Tornado watch and you are on your knees
the wind is blowing and the people are blowing
and I am blowing and you are blowing
and we're both blowing
and are minds are blowing
around and around and around and around and around


The summer breeze
brings peace


Your heart is a bloody battlefield
Tornado watch and you are out of here
the wind is blowing and the people are blowing
and I we're both blowing and our minds are blown
and I am blowing
you are blowing
around and around and around and around and around

the summer breeze
brings peace

your mind is a pretentious wasteland
tornado watch and you are on your knees


8. Little Black Tank

Let's get the guns out on the table
I think we could make a deal
There's been something going 'round
I got 20 wild horses and some coffee grounds

Kick it kick it kick it
Kick it 'til your ears bleed
Kick it kick it kick it
'Till it hurts
Kick it kick it kick it
'Til you blow their minds
Kick it kick it kick it
'Till you're out of time

Let's kill all of the demons
They're sleeping all outside
I'll stay here in my little black tank
where I slipped through the cracks on route 666666..

Kick it kick it kick it
Kick it 'til your ears bleed

Kick it kick it kick it
'Till it hurts
Kick it kick it kick it
'Til you blow their minds
Kick it kick it kick it
'Till you're out of time


9. Turbo Energy (Lyrics in progress)


boost the engines
soul emissions

hot and fluid
hot and heavy
igneous blood running
through the turbines

hold on tight baby hold on tight
we're going down going out
outta sight
hold on baby just hold on tight it's gonna be a wild ride


10. Black Holes and Worm Holes (Instrumental)


11. Medicine for the soul

Baby I'm coming home
going low down, growing old
something sacred something cold
I need a little medicine for the soul

I need a little fix in it
something smooth and something sweet
I need a little fix in it
something going down nice and easy

Baby I'm hot and cold
some days just a little bit more than sold
my mind is tired and worn
I need a little medicine for the soul

I need a little fix in it
something smooth and something sweet
I need a little fix in it
something going down nice and easy


12. Taking my baby, taking it down (In progress)

We're getting tired of this dead-end town
so I'm taking my baby and we're taking it down.....
