The Dead Weather - Dodge And Burn Album Lyrics

I Feel Love (Every Million Miles)

Nothing is a color,
I cross the desert
Nothing is alive
What does the black top
know that I have not
cracked with my mind
Nothing is a color
Gray as the pill
Nobody Cries
Why do the screek lamp shine on still
Nothing is alive

I feel love every million miles
I feel love every once in a while
I feel love every million miles
I feel love every once in a while

Nothing is a color
I cross the desert
Nothing is alive
What does the black top
know that I have not
cracked with my mind
Nothing is a color
Gray as the pill
Deep in the eye
Why do the screek lamp shine on still
When nothing is alive

I feel love every million miles
I feel love every once in a while
I feel love every million miles
I feel love every once in a while

Why does my heartbeat feel like a speaker?
Feeding back
Repeater
Repeater

Why does my heartbeat feel like a speaker?
Feeding back
Repeater
Repeater

Why does my heartbeat feel like a speaker?
Feeding back
Repeater
Repeater

Why does my heartbeat feel like a speaker?
Feeding back

I feel love every million miles
I feel love every once in a while
I feel love every million miles
I feel love every once in a while

Buzzkill(er)

Oh, Lord, forget about me
I'm doing fine
Oh, Lord, forget about me
Let me ride
Oh, Lord, I got no minds for you
I will not please
No mercy shall be given me
Down in Tennessee

Stop!
Buzzkillin' me, why don't you
Stop!
Buzzkillin'

I've got my boots and my jacket on
My cash and key
Got my highs and lows and I
Come and go as I please
Good Lord, I've got no time for you
I've gotta run

Stop!
Buzzkillin' me, you gotta
Stop!
Buzzkillin'

Good Lord, won't you forget about me
I'm gettin' mine
Good Lord, won't you forget about me
Let me ride (hey!)
Oh, Lord, I will not follow you
I'm in the lead
Oh no, you will not get to me
Down in Tennessee

Let Me Through

Lovin' is a wild thing
And if you stand in my way
I'm gonna bully bully bully
Bully till I'm free

The apple is shining
Like glass on a highway
Devotion is salt in
Salt in any wound of my say

I got a bloodhound tooth
Hanging like a dagger in a bar back west
If you try and pull it down
You know I'll save all my best

Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom
Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom

Trouble is my heart twin
I shovel as I sing sing
I'm gonna dig it till I cut through
Heaving on the whole thing

The moon is mindless
But it's pulling is timeless
I'm gonna bully bully like this
Hike this until my path is windless

I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through

I got a bloodhound tooth
Hanging like a dagger in a bar back west
If you try and pull it down
You know I'll save all my best

Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom
Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom

Ooh, no one knows better than
Ooh, than the wrecker and the wrecked man
Ooh, don't need no protector
I'm a bad man, let me through

I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through, ow

I got a bloodhound tooth
Hanging like a dagger in a bar back west
If you try and pull it down
You know I'll save all my best

Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom
Shots for you you you
Boom, boom, boom

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

Three Dollar Hat

I'm that bad man named Jackie Lee
Shooting everybody down with a .33

Jackie said Johnny can't you see?
That you love everybody but Jackie Lee?

Johnny said to Jackie don't take my life
I got three young kids and a bad-ass wife

Jackie told Johnny you're acting crazy
What you know about having a baby?
You're crazy!

And what I care about your kids and wife?
You done stole my hat
I'm gonna take your life

I'm that bad man named Jackie Lee
Shooting everybody down with a .33

There's a knife in my hand
And I'm going to stand and deliver
Why? Because I must erase your mind forever
And I will stand before I surrender
I'll fall back but I won't be the one to say
Wait up! Where you at?
I'm so much better then that
Three dollar hat...

Jackie said Johnny lets tit for tat
You want to trade your life for a three dollar hat?

So They hung Jackie Lee at 3 o'clock
Left his hands laying there on the butcher block

He's that bad man named Jackie Lee
Shooting everybody down with a .33

Jackie and Johnny were sweet hearts
Oh what a love that they had

Lose The Right

I always knew you put poison in your potion
I lost my will to reason so long ago
You are as broken as the ghost that you believe in
I seen him in you, you know

Listen to me when I tell you what you mean to me
Just to clear the air, the air around you is killing me
Oh, whatever's in between you and me and the vicinity
It isn't fair to me so leave and don't come back to me

Oh, you lose the right
Oh, you lose the right

When your mind goes straight to hell, you lose the right
To tell anybody what to do
Your fire licks the sky just to blind
Whoever happens to come close enough to you

You lose the right

I always knew you put poison in your potion
You're broke like the ghost, the ghost, the ghost
The ghost that you believe in

Oh oh, you lose the right
Oh oh, you lose the right

Rough Detective

You're an unusual suspect now and may be right.
The kind all men cannot recollect or forget at night.
You're the rough detective with the smokey eye.
Where the person you are after is the other guy.
The apprentice is the master and the cop's a con.
You hear me laughing in the background.

Don't make me run, baby;
don't make me run, ah ow!
Don't make me run, baby;
don't make me run, ah, ow!

Well, I'll make you retell your story now just to trip you up.
This mirror is reflective only if you're tired.
Your instinct is defective, but your crook's on fire.
I, get a lil' possessive when I've tricking a liar, now.
You sympathize, you hypnotize, it's just so odd.
Well, I'm a rough detective on a glory ride.
You keep going faster so I slow down.
You hear me laughing in the background.

Don't make me run, baby;
don't make me run, ah ow!
Don't make me run, baby;
don't make me run, ah, ow!

Aaaaaah!
What's happening?
What's happening?
Well.
Ah ah ah ah ah ah...
I can't hold it any longer.
I can't hold it anymore.

She looked right at me and laughed; is she laughing?
She looked right at me, is she laughing at me?
Don't make me run.
Is she laughing at me?

Open Up

Have you noticed the rivers and the clocks, they're not moving?
What about the birds you got stuck on your ceiling, chirping?
I breathe in but I choke, little things make a landslide go
If I knew just the pin to hold in I'd build walls and you know, you know I would

My hand is faster than the pen but the end has been written down
Still the ink will not dry, undermined by a hope that I'm wrong

Open up, open up

I see your roses grew noses and noses go and get broken
And there's a hope, there's a place, there's a sickened feeling
I look into the space that defaced my belief in
Where we are, what it means, and what did you say your name was?
Well say it again

Open up, open up

Mind is faster than pen but the end is so stupid
Like bubblegum in your hair isn't fair but it smells good
Breathe in but you choke, but you choke on a mouthful
Of everything that you hoped, that you hoped was not there
But it's here, it's here

Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough

Have you noticed the rivers and the clocks, they're all sleeping?
Is it me or you who would stop yelling and screaming?
And there's a place with the lows and frequencies we're hearing

Open up, open up

Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough

Be Still

Ice pop blue green
Sweet tooth yellow thing
You dream
In cartoon love pink

Ah ah ah ah ah

Little sister
The earth quakes no matter what
Coins shake in your pocketbook
Make a rattlesnake jump

So real, little sister
Alligator in the Glades
He's out on the weekends
Cruising your arcade

Be still, be still
Be still, be still
Be still, be still
Be still, be still

Be still, be still
Be still, be still
I don't know what to do
I don't want you to move
So don't move

Be still, little sister
Your immunity's in flux
As the volume gets you higher
Than the heavens can hold you up

The deal, little lady
In the cold light of day
His reflection in the neon
Window don't look so tame

Be still, be still
Be still, be still
Be still, be still
Be still, be still

Be still, be still
Be still, be still
I don't know what to do
I don't want you to move

Ice pop blue green
Sweet tooth yellow thing
You dream
In cartoon love pink

Ah ah ah ah ah

Mile Markers

The cold white flamingo wins at black market bingo
That we used to play, but we don't play no more
We used to travel playing hotel games
Eating truck stop dinners with Christian names
Pointing out porn in payphones pinned into the core
Now I just count mile markers between your door and my door

Big boys, bad girls
Grind their teeth in stereo
Big boys, bad girls
Grind their teeth in stereo

I creep, I don't move in the breeze like I used to
I bend backwards at the elbows and the knees
The silver tap is spewing crap and I'm halfway 'round the world
Flatlined in a space between my teeth

I churned my milk and honey, I lost track of all the money
My family rescued some other stray dog
When it rains, I open windows, I just lay there
I just lay getting waterlogged, trying to get along

Big boys, bad girls
Grind their teeth in stereo
Big boys, bad girls
Grind their teeth in stereo

The cold white flamingo wins at black market bingo
That we used to play, but we don't play no more
We used to travel playing hotel games
Eating truck stop dinners with Christian names
Pointing out porn in payphones pinned into the core
Now I just count mile markers between your door and my door

I creep, I don't move in the breeze like I used to
I bend backwards at the elbows and the knees
The silver tap is spewing crap and I'm halfway 'round the world
I'm flatlined in a space between my teeth

I churned my milk and honey, I lost track of all the money
So my family rescued some other stray dog
When it rains, I open windows, let it all in
I just lay getting waterlogged

1-800-SOMEONE, sweepstakes donation
Blood or a trip to the Bahamas
I'd really like to see you when you finish out your sentence
Dear soulmate behind stripes and stars

In stereo
In stereo

Cop And Go

Yes
No

Beautiful eyes long gone
Beautiful eyes return
Beautiful lies set in stone
Come alive, disarm
Take my life, alter form

You look at me on the level, uh-huh
Like we got shit to settle, uh-huh
But all you do is cop like a cop
And go

Here he comes shaking his old alibi
Here he comes eating his whole pie in the sky
Beautiful eyes, strange glow
Beautiful eyes, danger zone

Beautiful eyes, undertow
Creepin' up on your soul
Ain't no time to take it slow

Look at me on the level, uh-huh
Like we got shit to settle, uh-huh
You cop like a cop in a cookie jar
Get what you what? Did you get it all?
Oh please, give a little back to me

Beautiful eyes, burning slow
Thousand yard stare in my horoscope
Fully loaded so unload
Can't save myself, I been told

Look at me on the level, uh-huh
Like we got shit to settle, uh-huh
Cop like a cop in a cookie jar
Get what you want? Take it all

Cop like a cop
You cop like a cop
You cop like a cop like a cop
Like a cop like a cop

You cop like a cop and you go go go go
You cop like a cop and you go go go go
You cop like a cop and you go go go go
You cop like a cop and you go go go go

Cop like a cop and you go go go go, oh

Won't you give a little back to me?

Too Bad

Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

I know where the body is
I know why the branches twist
And when the well is getting low
How it came to be so

I'm going back, yeah
I'm going back
I'm going back to bed, baby
It's just too too too too bad

I know how the story ends
I know who dies, I know who lives
I know both passing ships
And how it feels to really miss, so

I'm going back, yeah
I'm going back
I'm going back to bed
It's just too too too too too bad

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

I know the girl next door
Yeah, I know the dress she wore
She took the bait, huh, she took the call
Oh I know I've heard it all, so

I'm going back, yeah
I'm going back
I'm going back to bed, baby
It's too too too too too bad

Hey
Hey
Hey
Hey

I'm going back, yeah
I'm going back
I'm going back to bed, baby
It's too too too too too bad

Impossible Winner

I am the desert sun
The ever endless sea
Not a drop of blue or white
Is where it shouldn't be
I'm a wheel going round
In a mirror house
I made no way out
But you have feels about
Holding on
To everything that's come and gone
I need distraction
Give me a form in between [?]
Everything I've ever seen
Don't be long
I'm no beginner
I'll be here every night
My name up in lights

The impossible winner

I'm the wilderness
Dark end of the street
Coast of infinity
Far as I can see
I'm a white noise, son
Thorn upon a thorn
But when that whips around
No part of any storm
Holding on
To everything that's come and gone
I need distraction
Give me a form in between [?]
Everything I've ever seen
Don't be long
I'm no beginner
I'll be here every night
My name up in lights

The impossible winner
The impossible winner
The impossible winner

Drag my body through the sand
Drag my body down the road
Drag me up to the air
Turn around
Here I am
Drag me down, down low
Down, down small
Makes no difference
Turn around
Here I am
Holding on
To everything that's come and gone
I need distraction
Give me a form in between [?]
Everything I've ever seen
Don't be long
I'm no beginner
I'll be here every night
My name up in lights

The impossible winner
The impossible winner
The impossible winner
