One of the Greats Lyrics


[Verse 1] I crawled up from under the earth Broken nails and coughing dirt Spitting out my songs so you could sing along, oh And with each bedraggled breath, I knew I came back from the dead To show you how it's done, to show you what it takes To conquer and to crucify, to become one of the greats One of the greats [Verse 2] I kept a scream inside my chest, killed everyone I'd ever kissed Hung them on the wall like trophies, each name, a stain upon my lips I told the truth but could never see it through You see yourself hung on the wall but that song is not about you I wrote down all my fumbling visions transmitted by a television Got everything I thought I wanted and cried hungover in a hotel closet [Pre-Chorus] Did I get it right? Do I win the prize? Do you regret bringing me back to life? [Chorus] Arms outstretched, back from the dead Streetlights bursting overhead Arms outstretched, back from the dead Streetlights bursting overhead [Verse 3] I did my best, tried to impress, my childhood dream made flesh And my dresses and my flowering sadness, so like a woman to profit from her madness I was only beautiful under the lights, only powerful there Burned down at thirty-six Why did you dig me up for this? [Chorus] Arms outstretched, back from the dead Streetlights bursting overhead Arms outstretched, back from the dead Streetlights bursting overhead [Bridge] You'll bury me again, you'll say it's all pretend That I could never be great being held up against such male tastes Because who really gets to be one of the greats, one of the greats? But I've really done it this time (Ah-ah), this one is all mine I'll be up there with the men and the ten other women (Ah-ah) In the hundred greatest records of all time (Ah-ah) It must be nice to be a man and make boring music just because you can (Ah-ah) Now don't get me wrong, I'm a fan (Ah-ah) You're my second favourite front-man (Ah-ah) And you could have me if you weren't so afraid of me It's funny how men don't find power very sexy So this one's for the ladies Do I drive you crazy? Did I get it right? [Pre-Chorus] Did I get it right? Do I win the prize? Do you regret bringing me back to life? Did I get it right? Do I win the prize? Do you regret bringing me back to life? [Chorus] Arms outstretched, back from the dead Streetlights bursting overhead Arms outstretched, back from the dead Streetlights bursting [Outro] Too feminine to function A pile of bodies and a trail of destruction I will let the light in, I will let some love in I will be happy, it will be perfect I will let the light in, I will let some love in I will be happy, it will be perfect I will let the light in (Arms outstretched, back from the dead) Streetlights bursting overhead Arms outstretched, back from the dead Streetlights bursting overhead Arms outstretched, back from the dead Streetlights bursting overhead Arms outstretched Arms outstretched Streetlights bursting Overhead Overhead Streetlights bursting Overhead

King

We argue in the kitchen about whether to have children, About the world ending and the scale of my ambition, And how much is art really worth?, The very thing you're best at is the thing that hurts the most, But you need your rotten heart, your dazzling pain like diamond rings, You need to go to war…

Heaven Is Here

Oh, bring your salt, bring your cigarette, Draw me a circle and I'll protect, Heaven is here if you want it, Oh, bring your boy, bring your bottle, Open your mouth, pour it down his neck, Heaven is here if you want it, And all of the fish, let 'em flounder, I went to the water, drank every drop, I'l…

My Love

I was always able to write my way out, The song always made sense to me, Now I find that when I look down, Every page is empty, There is nothing to describe, Except the moon still bright against the worrying sky, I pray the trees will get their leaves soon, So tell me where to put my love, Do I wait…

Morning Elvis

When they dressed me and they put me on a plane to Memphis, well, I never got to see Elvis, I just sweated it out in a hotel room, But I think the king woulda understood, Why I never made it to Graceland, The bathroom tiles were cool against my head, I pressed my forehead to the floor and prayed for…

Cassandra

I used to see the future and now I see nothin', They cut out my eyes and sent me home packin', To pace around the kitchen for scraps of inspiration, Cryin' like Cassandra, I, I used to tell the future, but they cut out my tongue, And left me doin' laundry to think on what I'd done, It wasn't me, it …
