Keep Em Coming by Alkaline Trio Lyrics
[Verse 1]
14 hours ahead
A head that's heavier than lead
I've got toothpicks in my eyes
A smile more yellow than the sky
I've got a song stuck in my head
One that I miss more than my bed
It's a song sung from a fallen milkman
Who's drinking bleach instead
I'm much like him
[Verse 2]
14 hours unfed
I spent the last cents in my head
They're worth much less than pennies now
Food for one thought shared with a crowd
I've got a painting in my head
A deeper blue bled thicker red
More red than Bloody Marys, coast to coast
"I hate flying," I said
That's what I said
[Chorus]
Sad, sorry excuse
Just like everything that made her smile
And everything I use
I won't go back to the way it was
Well, I'm now huffing gas and sniffing paint
To take away this buzz that I call you
[Verse 3]
14 hours ahead
A head that's heavier than lead
Toothpicks pry open my eyes
A smile more yellow than the sky
I've got a song stuck in my head
One that I miss more than my bed
It's a song sung from a fallen milkman
Who's drinking bleach instead
I'm much like him
[Verse 4]
14 hours unfed
I spent the last cents in my head
They're worth much less than pennies now
Food for one thought shared with a crowd
I've got a painting in my head
A deeper blue bled thicker red
More red than Bloody Marys, coast to coast
"I hate flying," I said
That's what I said
[Chorus]
Sad, sorry excuse
Just like everything that made her smile
And everything I use
I won't go back to the way it was
'Cause I'm now huffing gas and sniffing paint
To take away this buzz that I call you
14 hours ahead
A head that's heavier than lead
I've got toothpicks in my eyes
A smile more yellow than the sky
I've got a song stuck in my head
One that I miss more than my bed
It's a song sung from a fallen milkman
Who's drinking bleach instead
I'm much like him
[Verse 2]
14 hours unfed
I spent the last cents in my head
They're worth much less than pennies now
Food for one thought shared with a crowd
I've got a painting in my head

More red than Bloody Marys, coast to coast
"I hate flying," I said
That's what I said

Just like everything that made her smile
And everything I use
I won't go back to the way it was
