The Everyday World of Bodies Lyrics by Rodan (Band)

Rusty

1994

[Intro]
Uh huh
[Verse 1: Jason Noble and Jeff Mueller]
The rain, had a sound
It's blinded everything
Coming down, coming down
The rain, had a sound
It flattened its face on the window frame
And I thought we were safe, so safe
My soul sank down, down in the bed
Your hair spread, out on the pillows
In the black fan, I buried my face
[Refrain: Jason Noble and Jeff Mueller]
I traded you
I traded you
I traded you
[Chorus: Jeff Mueller and Tara Jane O'Neil]
Let's be quiet a while
Pull down the shades
Take off your jeans
Lay on the bed
Please, it's easy
It's easy, you don't have to do anything
I'll get a towel, close your eyes
This is my sound, this is your sound
Open your mouth, please
Cover your eyes, uncover your body
You can trust it, you can trust it
Put away your money, under your shirt
You can trust, in Jesus
You don't have to do anything
You can trust it, this is your sound
[Verse 2: Jason Noble and Jeff Mueller, Jeff Mueller]
The train, had a sound
On the edge of town, moving around
It never rusts, it never sleeps
It's rusted, rusted
It's rusted, it's coming
Incoming, incoming
[Refrain: Jason Noble and Jeff Mueller]
Everything changes
Everything changes
Everything changes
[Chorus: Jeff Mueller, Tara Jane O'Neil, and both]
Outside it's loud, it rattles the windows
Bus shakes the bed, the clock's unwound
Stripped, stripped, down
Darker in here, darker
Cover your ears
I give you my hands
Uncover my body
You don't have to say, anything
You don't have to make this anything
I'm nothing, I'm nothing (nothing), I'm poison
Everything (changes), changes
I'm nothing, just make the sound
And beg for something better
Everything changes
Pray for something better
Everything changes
And beg for something better
Everything (changes) changes
And pray for something better
Everything (changes) changes
I'll give you my hands, uncover my body
I'll give you my poison
I'll open my body for you to-
To-
[Post-Chorus: Jason Noble, and Jeff Mueller, Tara Jane O'Neil and Jeff Mueller]
Come on, come on, go!
Come on, come on, go!
Come on, come on!
When you're floating, you'll fall into me, you'll fall into me
You'll fall-
Come on, come on, go!
Come on, come on, go!
Come on, come on!
When you're floating, you'll fall into me, you'll fall into me
You'll fall-
[Verse 3: Jeff Mueller and Tara Jane O'Neil, Jason Noble]
Open, uncovered
Too drowned to speak, too brilliant to see
Do you see it? Do you hear it?
It's lifeless, this is your sound
This is my shame, on our knees
You were lying, lying
We were laying, against the door
Under the lights, nervous
You were lying on the bathroom floor
You were sick, so sick
[Refrain: Jason Noble and Jeff Mueller]
Sick, so sick, so sick, so sick, so sick
Sick, so sick, so sick, so sick, so sick
Sick, so sick, so sick, so sick, so sick
[Verse 4: Jeff Mueller]
Bodies, sleeping somewhere
Mouths upturned, into the air
Turning over, another page
Each night, we wait
Wait for something better
Wait for something better
Wait for something better
Wait for something better to come
[Post-Chorus: Jason Noble and Jeff Mueller, Jeff Mueller, Tara Jane O'Neil and Jeff Mueller]
Come on, come on, go!
Come on, come on, go!
Come on, come on!
When you're floating, you'll fall into me, you'll fall into me
You'll fall in-
Come on, come on, go!
Come on, come on, go!
Come on, come on!
When you're floating, you'll fall into me, you'll fall into me
You'll fall into me, you'll fall into me, you'll fall into me
You'll fall into me, you'll fall into me, you'll fall into me
You'll fall into me, you'll fall into me, you'll fall in-
[Chorus: Jeff Mueller and Tara Jane O'Neil, Jason Noble]
[Leave?]
I will be there, for everything, for everything
For everything, you're on everything
[We do it no more?]
The window is open, the bed is empty
The drawer is half-open, the clock's unwound
We make the sound, we make the sound
We make the sound of air, escaping
[Break: Jeff Mueller and Tara Jane O'Neil]
Escaping something, everything
Everything's undone
Your shirt, my body, is undone
Everything, everything
(Changes)
[Chorus: Jeff Mueller and Jason Noble]
Bus shakes the bed
The shakes make the sound
Through the crack in the door
Through the holes in the floor
Shakes make the sound
Bus shakes the bed
Through the hole in the floor
Through the crack in the door
And the shutters are down
The light is a threat
With every breath, you take
We are safe, but I'm undone
But I'm undone
(I will not take, I will not take)
(More, I will not take)
And I'm closer, closer
(I will not take, I will not take)
(More, I will not take)
I'll be closer
(I will not take)
And I will not take, more
Will not take, more
I will not, take
[Outro: Jason Noble and Jeff Mueller]
I will be there, I will be there, I swear
I will be there, I will be there, I swear
I will be there, swear
I will be there, swear
I will be there
Swear
I will be there, I will be there
I swear, I swear
I will be there, swear
I will be there, swear
I will be there, swear
I will be there, I will be there
(I will not take more of what's been taken for you)
Swear
