Friends and Family

from Strange Vibrations by Tin Tin Can

lyrics

All of my friends and my family / they are all ghosts / and they live in the walls of my home / each night as I turn out the lights I can feel in my bones / how they hover above me / claim that they love me / then hide in my blood ‘til I start to wake up / (Our voices they glide through your veins) / and you say I’m a selfish man / (Oh no) / I’m a selfish man / (Oh no) / such a selfish man / (Take and you take and you take and you take.) / (By dawn we return to the walls) / and each morning that’s howI wake / (Oh no.) / as a selfish man / (Oh no.) / such a selfish man / (Take and you take and you take and you take.) / daylight I drive between white lines stretched over the road / and you speak through the static / haunting the dial of my radio / with eyes open wide I feel violent / but when eyes are closed / I can let myself wander into the comfort / of people and places I’ve known / (Our voices they glide through your veins) / and you say I’m a selfish man / (Oh no) / am I a selfish man? / (Oh no) / such a selfish man / (Take and you take and you take and you take.) / (By dawn we return to the walls) / and each morning that’s how I wake / (Oh no.) / as a selfish man / (Oh no.) / such a selfish man / (Take and you take and you take and you take.) / don’t cry for me babe / dig a hole in the earth / I’ll stare up at the pine-cones / while I’m covered with dirt / one day we’ll all ride in that long golden hearse / if the core of the sun is the place that we’re from / is it also the place we return?
