The Black Keys Tribute EP

 Gold On The Ceiling

Down in the waves she screams again
Roar at the door my mind can't take much more
I could never drown in
They wanna get my gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind, just a matter of time
Before you steal it it's all right, ain't no guarding my high

Clouds covered love's barb-wired snare
Strung up, strung out I just can't go without
I could never drown in
They wanna get my gold on the ceiling
I ain't blind, just a matter of time
Before you steal it it's all right, ain't no guarding my high

Keep My Name Outta Your Mouth

Cry to myself and hanging around this old vessel that is running around
I seem to recall feeling serene my hand on the hip of a beautiful being
And light in my eye and love in my heart it went away and you tore it apart
Just hoping you fall six feet south keep my name out of your mouth

She wrote back and I got down I didn't want no, nobody around
Now that you have had your fun you got all yours dropping guns
And now I disappear, I always did held them near my coffin lair
Just hoping you fall six feet south keep my name out of your mouth

Ten Cent Pistol

Well, he ran around late at night
Holding hands making light
Of everything that came before
But there she was behind the door
She hit them with her ten cent pistol because they ruined her name
Well, she hit them with her ten cent pistol and they've never been the same

There's nothing worse in this world
Than payback from a jealous girl
The laws of man they don't apply
When blood gets in a woman's eye
She hit them with her ten cent pistol because they ruined her name
Well, she hit them with her ten cent pistol and they've never been the same

Stars did fall thunder rolled
Bugs crawled back in their holes
The couple screamed but it was far too late
Because a jealous heart did retaliate
She hit them with her ten cent pistol because they ruined her name
Well, she hit them with her ten cent pistol and they've never been the same

Lonely Boy

Well I’m so above you and it’s plain to see
But I came to love you anyway so you pulled my heart out
And I don’t mind bleeding any old time you keep me waiting
I got a love that keeps me waiting
I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy I’m a lonely boy
I got a love that keeps me waiting

Well your mama kept you but your daddy left you
And I should’ve done you just the same but I came to love you 
Am I born to bleed any old time you keep me waiting
I got a love that keeps me waiting
I got a love that keeps me waiting
I’m a lonely boy I’m a lonely boy
I got a love that keeps me waiting

Bullet In The Brain

Bullet in the brain I prefer than to remain the same
Bullet in the brain I prefer than to remain the same

Looking back on where we used to be
Everything was clear, still I refuse to see
Hearts began to rust the diamond turned to dust
And baby took the pain all out of me

I know I share the blame for what's in store
I was in the wrong but weren't you in it more?
I let you use my gifts to back those lying lips
I'll never know just what I did it for

For The Love Of Money

For the love of money we would do most anything
Anything, for a taste of honey we would do it all again
We got tall, tall buildings we got streets of gold
Cheats and liars, our friends get old
Bright, bright diamonds that shine like shame
Green, green acres and God's good name

For the love of money we would sell our very souls
Goodness knows start acting funny, do anything that we're told
We got fools with britches getting fat on lies
Nothing but trouble here in paradise
Deal's in the making, you just name your price
If your soul's for sale, you just name your vice

Don't need to tell you that money can buy you love
Once you get money then you'll never have enough
For the love of money we will climb the highest hill we will
Turn your back on Buddy for a greenback dollar bill
Love of money love of money
