Whiskeytown - West NY Serenade (aka What Makes The
by FireFly65 on December 27, 2005Found another beautiful song.
Because of yet another fruitless attempt to find lyrics to an old bootleg song by Whiskeytown I have tried to pen down the lyrics myself:
Whiskeytown - West New York Serenade
What makes you act like this?
Standing in your torn up dress
Speaking Spanish and in English
In your daddy's bar
Just up the block from your dad's house
Brothers broke in chain in rest (?)
Linnen cloth your mother's hands against her chest
Out there tearing up the boys with your sweet eyes
Brothers best friends drink the rounds to handle .....
Just one person, one by stool less than that
And I'm trying to dismiss
What makes the world like this
She had never touched a boy
At least never like this before
Flowers at the funeral road
Reminded her of spring
Bones that burns out in the sign
hangs above her daddy's tie
Dance around her like some strange whistling new york serenade
She speaks in tongues
She's two drinks in
Static and steam
The tunnels underground collapse
And stranded us here
Standing, smoking cigarettes
In some torn up dress
I'd like to dismiss
What makes the world like this
What makes you act like this?
Standing in your torn up dress
Speaking Spanish and in English
In your daddy's bar
Notes: Some parts are awfully wrong, but this was just the best I could do.
