Shock Corridor Lyrics by Lovestreams

Lovestreams

2013

[Verse 1]
A life lifted off a news page
A pictorial of you alone in your room
Fighting off suicide furiously
With the Astronettes bootleg and a bent-back spoon
A bus tour through drab poverty
I came over, and you offered me the guest room
[Verse 2]
A lie for a single pageview
Courtesy of the-assailant-who-loves-you
Advice for the heartsick clergyman
'Cause the bridegroom just ain't in the mood
The snake in the grass and the ghost at the feast
And the jack of all asses and thе last of the least
All flown first-class to the tеam retreat
The inventor of anger
The perfecter of being distracted when someone is talking to you
But just slightly
Super-slightly
And she said
[Chorus 1]
"I don't care who you are, don't care what you were
You can't look away from the shock corridor
I don't care who you are, don't care what you were
Just try to look away from the shock corridor
I don't care who you are, don't care what you were
You can't look away from the shock corridor"
(Shock corridor, shock corridor, shock corridor)
[Verse 3]
So punch the day in the face and charge through
A haze of gorse, behind you, your own mother's living ghost
Tears her hair out, it's freedom, don't you want it?
Punch the day in the face and charge through
A haze of gorse, behind you, your own mother's living ghost
Tears her hair out, it's freedom, don't you want it?
A light haze of rain dark-flecks the gray slate
The actor can't escape from his cold oval
Blazed-out hours rolling cold and sober
[Chorus 1]
I don't care who you are, don't care what you were
You can't look away from the shock corridor
(Shock corridor, shock corridor, shock corridor, shock corridor)
[Verse 4]
When there was nothing left to talk about
We talked specifically about a white-hot penny plunging through the concrete and hissing into that buried river
Or cutting into the earth's red-hot sobbing heart
And I'm sorry I was a shit
I didn't know I was doing it
I'm not needed, and why would you really wanna hear my voice, even?
'Cause I'm the light from a star that deserved to implode
And it did, six million years ago
I'm the light from a star that deserved to implode
And did, six million years ago
(I don't care who you are, I don't care what you were)
(You can't get away from the shock corridor)
I'm the faded Orange Crush in the woods, when the kid who tossed it now's going through his third divorce
[Verse 5]
I used to lie back in my teenage bed and feel love
Hot, busting love, just this surge of love
This surge of love for everything, everything, everything
I used to lie back in my teenage bed and feel love
So much hot, busting love, just this surge of love
This surge of love for everything, everything, everything
Now I lie on my couch with my brains bashed out
And my tools and my toys all lying around
And I wish I could feel that way about really anything, anything, anything
I lie on my couch with my brains bashed out
And my tools and my toys all lying around
And I wish I could feel that way about really anything, anything, anything, anything, anything, anything
Yeah, but still she says
[Chorus 2]
"I don't care who you are, don't care what you were
You can't get away from the shock corridor
(Can't get away from the shock corridor)
I don't care who you are, don't care what you were
You can't get away from the shock corridor
I don't care who you are, don't care what you were
You can't get away from the shock corridor"
