The Tragically Hip- Self Titled EP
hip canteen you always make the scene you're a crazy child
it's a sad thing bourbons all around to stop that feeling when you're living in a small town
you're long and lean but things don't get you down you're a hop ten kingpin in the borders of you're hometown
you can't get hip you work the jobs I've quit can you dig that style?
won't admit you just don't give a shit you're a crazy child
chorus can't live to die - too easy why stick around i want my life to please me not another small town hometown bringdown
this is it you might as well get pissed can you dig that style?
make your trip there ain't that much to miss you're a crazy child
chorus
it's not a matter for wrong or right it ain't much better that drinking and looking to fight you know I'm tired of crawling hind my name among the crowd
I'm on the last American exit to the northland I'm on the last American exit to my homeland I'm on the last American exit to my last chance they keep calling out my name-shout it down
you've made them wonder and know for sure you've made them hunger at night and then run for the door you know you'll probably cry like Caesars son when you're found
it's not your place it's another town let's face it baby I'm up and then baby I'm down you'll watch the border offer you fame and watch you drown
chorus know your neighbors and know they'll take us know my city it's just like theirs are hope I make it. I know I'm going to make it somehow know my saviour he knows you shakers know my pity. I'll see you later I'd like to stay but i know it doesn't matter somehow
chorus
They keep callin out my name They keep callin out my name They keep callin out my name I shout it down
I need your confidence need to know you're mine when it gets right down to the killing time i know you're heart is bad but it's all I've ever had we can live our lives on this righteous crime
I got kicked when I was down and a sailor took my girl to town then she licked my wounds with the sea dog's salt I drank half a bottle of jack swore I'd never take you back by the bottle's end I was on that phone
What you call compromise I don't understand What you call compromise I don't understand
How do you walk away How do you walk away How do you walk away from a woman that gone and done you wrong?
Evelyn-Evelyn Where were you last night? Evelyn-Evelyn Where were you last night?
waited on your front porch till the break of day but when the dawn broke I could no longer wait for...
chorus
must have phoned a million times no answer came what kind of fool am I to play this game with...
chorus
this has gone on before I can't take it no more I'll even up the score and get away from...
chorus
if you must have your way you won't have me I won't be pushed around I must get free from...
chorus
I had heart, but I used to be older I'm not like I used to be had you, but I guess its all over you talk, but you're not like me.
you talk and you talk like some weird saint what do you think that we could taint? when your nothing I am and I'm something you ain't
hold me, until the night makes colder tell me, how life's made you bad kick me when I choke and I smolder when I'm not what you had.
I'm looking for a Cemetery sideroad I'm screaming like a lighthouse lamp I'm chasing after what I think I'm owed like a french foreign tramp
you swim in an ocean that's storming you eat when the wolves all do you ache like a mother mourning when you're left alone with you.
The moon comes up, I start to sweat call the doctor, call the vet my brain goes numb, my blood gets hot all I need is what you got
I'm a werewolf, baby, and here I come I'm a werewolf, baby, and here I come
I lose control, I just can't stop you look so good like a big pork chop ripped my pants, ripped my shirt I'm gonna eat your mother for dessert
chorus
I can smell your blood, I can hear you breathe I'm gonna eat your heart right off your sleeve eat you cooked, eat you raw I'm gonna rip you up like a big chain saw
I'm going down to see my highway girl she just back from around the world I'm gonna get me a gun, I'm gonna stand on guard in a little white booth in her front yard
throwing rocks at her window what could she do if I throw enough rock one might break through well she looked out her window when the police came to see a big tin man dancing in the rain
Oh my little highway girl Oh my little highway girl
she said, don't you think babe you push a bit too fast I said, slowing down don't make it last and a memory's never gonna set you free go out an see that world and bring it home to me
Oh my little highway girl Oh my little highway girl Oh my little highway girl Oh my little highway girl
