Bottleneck Creek Lyrics by The Bantams

Archbishop

2017

[Verse 1]
I ripped my sweatshirt down at the Bottleneck Creek
I've got mud on my shoes that'll never leave
I ripped my sweatshirt down at the Bottleneck Creek
I've got mud on my shoes that'll never leave
[Pre-Chorus]
Laughing, staring at the rooftops
Trying not to get caught
Overwhelmed by pictures racing in my head in deep thought
All I need is one shot
I'm becoming everything I never thought I'd be
And everything I dreamed
[Chorus]
Driving with the I, I-95
My 9 to 5 is killing me
And I'm so scared and unaware
Of all the thoughts you thought I'd be
Appreciate the nights we gave
We threw away and now I'm
Staring at the back of magazines in the pocket behind the seat
[Verse 2]
Ran away sundown to the Bottleneck Creek
I put my worn hands down and I felt relief
I ran away sundown to the Bottleneck Creek
I put my worn hands down and I felt relief
[Pre-Chorus]
Laughing, sitting on the rooftops
Trying not to get caught
Overwhelmed by pictures racing in my head in deep thought
All I need is one shot
I'm becoming everything I never thought I'd be
And everything I dreamed
[Chorus]
Driving with the I, I-95
My 9 to 5 is killing me
And I'm so scared and unaware
Of all the thoughts you thought I'd be
Appreciate the nights we gave
We threw away and now I'm
Staring at the back of magazines in the pocket behind the seat
Archbishop's in the next town
[Bridge]
I watched my best friend die at the bottleneck creek
'Only the strong survive,' I've a mind to keep
I watched my best friends die at the bottleneck creek
I've seen a fake surprise and a bleach-blonde heap
[Post-Bridge]
I'm throwing records against cinderblock walls
And I don't really care if it all falls down
Cause they flew away from my house
He never came to my town
Or maybe I just wasn't home to see it
Shit
