Ashtray Heart Lyrics
You used me for an ashtray heart
Right from the start, case of the punks
I feel like a glass shrimp,
Make invalids out of supermen
Call in a shrink and pick you up,
In a girdle,
You used me like an ashtray heart
Right from the start, case of the punks
Another day, another way
Someones had too much to think
Open up another case of the punks,
You hid behind the curtain
Waiting for me to go out
A man on a porcupine fence,
Each pillow is touted like a rock
The mother/father figure,
Send home your mother your navel
Case of the punks
You picked me out
Like an ashtray heart
Hid behind the curtain, waited for me to go out
Used me like an ashtray heart,
A man on a porcupine fence
Hit me where the lovers hang out
While they crushed me out
You used me for an ashtray heart
Look behind the curtain
You looked in the window when I went out
You used me like an ashtray heart
Brushed me off
While I was burning out.
Right from the start, case of the punks
I feel like a glass shrimp,
Make invalids out of supermen
Call in a shrink and pick you up,
In a girdle,
Right from the start, case of the punks
Another day, another way
Someones had too much to think
Open up another case of the punks,
You hid behind the curtain
Waiting for me to go out
A man on a porcupine fence,
Each pillow is touted like a rock
The mother/father figure,
Send home your mother your navel
Case of the punks
Like an ashtray heart
Hid behind the curtain, waited for me to go out
Used me like an ashtray heart,
A man on a porcupine fence
Hit me where the lovers hang out
While they crushed me out
Look behind the curtain
You looked in the window when I went out
You used me like an ashtray heart
Brushed me off
While I was burning out.

"Another day, another way, Someones had too much to think"
It's a great song :D
This is a dumb comment . . . but the original version sounds just like Cookie Monster. lol
This is a great song and I love Jack's voice in it.
agreed pooperscooper. this is has some of jack's most raw vocals to this day
"someones had too much to think"-Ashtray Heart/White Stripes "You've had too much to think, now u need a wife." Steady As She Goes/ Raconteurs. hehehe right when i saw fexsiv3's comment i noticed it. cuz whenever i hear steady as she goes, i say "you've had too much to drink." and i correct myself. Ashtray Heart is awesome. so intense and wonderful. love the stripes to pieces.
CASE OF THE PUNKS!!!
Really cool lyrics by Captain Beefheart. Jack White just pours emotion into this cover.
I love the lyrics to this song, but within 10 seconds of listening to it I decided that it was just not for me. Haha.
Still love the Stripes, though.
