Shoulderblade by The Teeth (Philadelphia) Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Back
Back away
Stumble down
Face the ground
And I see you sitting there always saying
All these people should go
We should be left alone
Just you and me
[Verse 2]
Back
On the street
The people we stare at
Are the people we meet
I've been thinking about my life
And I am loving it
If I take care of it
Will it love me?
Will it love me back?
Will it take much time?
Will it make me crack?
[Verse 3]
And then there's that sugar faced candy sort
That smiles on stage and acts the part
And I to him am a dangerous scene
A train that's stopped by a lack of steam
Lift up your head boy don't look so glum
If you come any closer I am going to run
How do you know me and what I have done?
Well I know your face you're the only one
[Verse 4]
Back
Back again
We're at your house
We're with your friends
And the truth is I'm not feeling so good
But the party's fine
We played our games
So what's your name?
Tell me what's your name?
Are we not the same?
Are we not the same?
[Chorus]
Shoulderblade, shoulderblade, shoulderblade
Your back was made
For me to touch
For me to taste
It's okay, its okay, its okay
Your face was made
For me to hide
For me to waste
I'll eat your legs
[Verse 5]
And we'll swim through the darkness just you and me
And the stars will cry and the sea will bleed
And it's darker than the whiskey that we drank at noon
When we sipped too fast and were gone too soon
And the harder, harder, harder, harder, harder we press
Make the dead grow wings make the spirit flesh
[Outro]
Bright lights
Bright lights
The sun is rising fast
Me oh my!
Bright lights
Bright lights
And this will never last
And that's the end!
And that's the-
Back
Back away
Stumble down
Face the ground
And I see you sitting there always saying
All these people should go
We should be left alone
Just you and me
[Verse 2]
Back
On the street
The people we stare at
Are the people we meet
I've been thinking about my life
And I am loving it
If I take care of it
Will it love me?
Will it love me back?
Will it take much time?
Will it make me crack?
[Verse 3]
And then there's that sugar faced candy sort
That smiles on stage and acts the part
And I to him am a dangerous scene
A train that's stopped by a lack of steam
Lift up your head boy don't look so glum
If you come any closer I am going to run
How do you know me and what I have done?
Well I know your face you're the only one
[Verse 4]
Back
Back again
We're at your house
We're with your friends
And the truth is I'm not feeling so good
But the party's fine

So what's your name?
Tell me what's your name?
Are we not the same?
Are we not the same?
[Chorus]
Shoulderblade, shoulderblade, shoulderblade
Your back was made
For me to touch
For me to taste
It's okay, its okay, its okay
Your face was made
For me to hide
