Rise Up In The Dirt

I think the lyrics are still a bit off. These are about 99% accurate.

Too many times you're gonna go out river walking Too many times you come in late Too many times you suck yourself out of the scene. It makes you walk up straight, It makes you walk up straight.

Too many times you trade the bottle for the body One drop for breath and one for skin You say nobody knows the truth about your body You look tired and thin. Are you tired and thin?

But if I were a good man Would it really happen Would you walk me home then, everyday from work. But maybe I'm a good man, wait and let it happen I believe in love, I'm married to my work.

'Cause I could be your father, I could be your brother, I could be your flower, rise up in the dirt, we were born to live here we were born to die here And you know this when you work Yeah, you watch me when you work

When you are free from the work of this house Well you know what to do with your hands Oh yes, I'm sure, you've got a few ideas. And when you wake from the shell of this body How will you sink your ghost in a man Yes I hope you've got something better up your sleeve

Too many times you bleed your love dry for your family And mull it over in your sleep Roll over twice and hold the burden like a man Something you can keep, something you can keep You smell the scent of something burning in the kitchen He smells the future on the lawn. These are the things we come to recognize as truth We cut the right into wrong, we cut the right into wrong.

But if I were a good man Would it really happen Would you walk me home then, everyday from work. But maybe I'm a good man, wait and let it happen I believe in love, I'm married to my work.

'Cause I could be your father, I could be your brother, I could be your flower, rise up in the dirt, We were born to live here we were born to die here And you know this when you work Yeah you watch me when you work

It seems that we used to live like rebels But now we get scared like our parents Our struggling faith, Its just a waste of money

And when you wake up tomorrow my son Yeah, you will be the father of something terrible It will shine throughout your life Oh it will shine throughout your life Oh it will shine throughout your life Oh it won't burry you 'Cause we know Somewhere in the darkness You will find love baby You will find love Somewhere in the darkness You will find love baby You will find love You will feel young again Oh, you will feel young again Oh, you will feel young again And you will feel young.

My favourite Voxtrot song. my god it's amazing.

these lyrics are quite off, I think, here's what I believe the words to be.

Too many times you’re gonna go out river walking Too many times you come in late Too many times you suck yourself out of the scene. It makes you walk up straight, It makes you walk up straight.

Too many times you trade the bottle for the body One drop for breath and one for skin You say nobody knows the truth about your body Are you tired and thing? Are you tired and thin?

But if I were a good man Would it really happen Would you walk me home then, everyday from work. But maybe I’m a good man, wait and let it happen I believe in love, I’m married to my work.

Cause I could be your father, I could be your brother, I could be your flower, rise up in the dirt, we were born to live here we were born to die here and you know this when you work yeah you watch me when you work

and When you are free from the work of the towns well You know what to do with your hands Listen, I’m sure, you’ve got a few ideas. And when you wake from the shell of this body How will you sink your ghost in a man Well I hope you’ve got something better up your sleeve

Too many times you cleaned your love dry for your family And roll over in your sleep Roll over twice and hold the burden like a man Something you can keep, something you can keep You smell the scent of something burning in the kitchen He smells the future on the lawn. These are the things we come to recognize as truth We cut the right into wrong, we cut the right into wrong.

But if I were a good man Would it really happen Would you walk me home then, everyday from work. But maybe I’m a good man, wait and let it happen I believe in love, I’m married to my work.

Cause I could be your father, I could be your brother, I could be your flower, rise up in the dirt, we were born to live here we were born to die here and you know this when you work yeah you watch me when you work

it seems that we used to live like rebels but now we get scared like our parents our struggling faith, its just a waste of money

and when you wake up tomorrow my son yeah, you will be the father of something terrible it will shine throughout you life oh it won’t burry you cause we know somewhere in the darkness you will find love baby you will find love you will feel young again and you will feel young.

Absolutely fucking great song, though.

But maybe I’m a good man, wait and let it happen I believe in love, I’m married to my work.

Love this part.

Does anyone know what he means here: yeah, you will be the father of something terrible?

But if I were a good man Would it really happen Would you walk me home then, everyday from work. But maybe I’m a good man, wait and let it happen I believe in love, I’m married to my work.

that stanza just makes me melt every time. i love how the older songs have such wonderful poetic lyrics

it seems that we used to live like rebels but now we get scared like our parents

i love this part its so true, its what scares me every day.
