Home Of The Brave Lyrics
I don't even feel it
but Lord how I need it
when I'm not with her
I'm not all myself
sometimes have my breakfast right
off of a mirror
and sometimes I have it
right out of a bottle
come on
I'm gonna rip it up
tear it out
gotta get it off of my soul
I don't even miss you
but that's 'cause I'm fucked up
and sure when it wears off
then I will be hurting
and just 'cause the sun shines
when you're out of my time
and just 'cause I feel bad
and feel good to fly high
come on
come on
I'm gonna rip it up
tear it out
gotta get you off of my soul
but Lord how I need it
when I'm not with her
I'm not all myself
sometimes have my breakfast right
off of a mirror
and sometimes I have it
right out of a bottle
come on
tear it out
gotta get it off of my soul
but that's 'cause I'm fucked up
and sure when it wears off
then I will be hurting
and just 'cause the sun shines
when you're out of my time
and just 'cause I feel bad
and feel good to fly high
come on
come on
tear it out
gotta get you off of my soul

This song is about dulling the pain of unrequited love with drugs. The whole of the Ladies and Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space album delt with Jason Pierce's broken heart. In this song, he references cocaine, heroin and alcohol as temporary reliefs, but acknowledges that he's going to feel like shit again once he comes down.
I love the lyrics; sometimes have my breakfast right off of a mirror and sometimes I have it right out of a bottle Awesome !
love the way he changes the line to "gotta rip it up, tear it our, gotta get YOU off of my soul."
one correction: pretty sure it's "Just cuz my feel bad and feel good's a fine line" another trademark Jason Pierce double entendre! Brilliant!!!
what's the little lady-voice in the background saying???
The voice starts out saying "I believe in", changes to "And I need it" towards the end. Very J-Spaceman.
