A Tour of Ancient Lips

by Friends of Cesar Romero

/
1.
Postmistress holiday blues What am I supposed to really do? Falling in and out of love It’s not what I was thinking of I saw you first But it just made things worse If I could just catch your name I wouldn’t feel so ashamed When you decide to turn me down It gets me so turned around
2.
Do you want my money? Do you want my fame? Do you want my babies? Or my last name? I can't help you anyway I'm probably bound to go astray I can't help you anyway I don't know what else to say You're only happy with a material life And I'm about as stable as your Dad's cheating wife And he'll be there when the sun goes down An 8 to 5 man is always around To take off your evening gown (So take it off, girl)
3.
Girl, you mess me up Just like a car crash Just like a bad ass When you said we were through Don't leave without leaving what's left of me Worst of all you got the best of me Girl, you haunt my mind Just like a bad hex Just like a jealous ex Like the one I'm going to be
4.
The cover of She wears venom wherever she goes Five points in a circle Take me where I wanna go Where I go, nobody knows That's what she said to me The Girl in Scorpio 70 Put the pill on the girl And fight fever all the time Confuse karma with cancer And tell me you'll be mine Can a magnet erase my mind?
5.
Shake off those dreary moods Be present when they count out the dudes Flag down your risky whip Hold your smoke when you shake your hips You think you know me all too well You never know quite who you are Strumming ex-girlfriends guitar Getting closer to sub par Strumming ex-girlfriends guitar Take off those new kid clothes You're reaching up to hit new lows The hen house is catching fire Windmill verses through the wire I think I know you all too well Should I know what you do when I'm not there with you? You say you're just good friends but it's hard to tell with those eyes he sends You never know quite who you are Strumming ex-girlfriends guitar Inching closer to sub par Strumming ex-girlfriends guitar
6.
Your fate tied to mine Like damsels to the train track Like my eyes to the big black Manic panic and attack We could spend a summer or two Pumping quarters into bad dudes Gotta know could it be you? Someone's gotta be Dazzler Phantoms chasing fat boys Getting vapors, breaking new toys Paint plastic at point blank Death feather in the bank
7.
After all the conversations And all anticipations Your final words would leave me sad and blue All this time I’ve cut and pasted My calloused heart that I’ve wasted But I can tell you have a fresh wound I won’t take the place of an old love ‘Cause I got to be the one you think of Anxious separations Of astral constellations The clean breaks that somehow see us through I know why you had to leave I was loud but discreet Could no one love you like I do? I won’t take the place of an old love Because I gotta be the one you think of Some will come others will pass But let me think I have a chance
8.
Damaged Star 02:40
Bad blood it’s going around You’re trampled on the stomping ground Parting animals stunning up You’re drowning in my empty cup Damaged star you know you’ll never win I check the obits everyday With the hopes I find your name Parting animals coming down A stampede on the sacred ground Damaged star you know you’ll never win Missing ghost Do you know who you are? Faded rose Do you know who you aren’t?
9.
I’m gonna marry me a southern girl So I can hear her talk I’m gonna marry me a metal girl So we can fucking rock I’m gonna marry me a French girl So she can paint our pets I’m gonna marry me a Minneapolis girl Hope she’s into The Soviettes And if none of it works out I’ll just move back to my parents house Hopefully it won’t come to that Cause that would be so fuckin’ lame
10.
If you see My girl Passing by On her own Don’t ask her why I’m not there Cause she’ll probably say That she don’t care She went away I let her go I’m so lost now She’s all I know How could I’ve lost My chance is blown I want her back But she’s made it known That she’s gone Boy she’s gone Yeah she’s gone Boy she’s gone If you hear A whispered word On the street About her Tell me quick But say it slow My aching heart Still wants to know That she’s gone Boy she’s gone Yeah she’s gone Boy she’s gone Maybe I should know better Nothing is forever She’s making plans and moving on The ink has dried conclusions drawn Yeah she’s gone
