cover me again

Cage The Elephant

Heart of steel born to kill
Mother's milk left me dressed to shame
I just go my way
Move to fast
It won't last
Hammerhead, Daddy ran away
He still knows my name

Oh, something's gotta give
The paper on the wall soon will peel and fall
Oh, and then you'll see my face painted up with sin
Cover me, Cover me again

I outgrew my old shoes
My back yard was cluttered up with lies
Kept it easy on the eyes
Fresh homemade under shade
Black and red, paint my fingers blue
Still hiding from the truth

MM, My best friend kills the pain
MM, But only for a day
MM, Keeps chewing on my veins

Oh, Something's gotta give
The paper on the wall soon will peel and fall
Oh, then you'll see my face painted up with sin
Cover me, Cover me again
Cover me again
