Cecil Otter - 1999 lyrics

[Hook] It goes one, two, now this gumshoe's comin' for you Three, four, with more than the lord to speak for Five, six, I'm gonna walk this beat until I drop my drumsticks I spun 78's, 45's, and 33's since '99 [Verse 1] There's nine ten-foot poles A needle wants to touch me My feet get cold, I speak soft Until they cut me free, I get out of this world Of one window flaps and spins out of control Gold and silver It don't warm my soul, so cold eyes shiver So I try to aim my bow and quiver Pull the arrow back, but it won't deliver And it's frozen, like this hopeless liver Slash romantic - will you hold this picture? And shake it, out of habit I ain't an addict, man. I just gotta have it So gimme, gimme gumdrops and one shot Of whatever you got, inside this gunshot And give up control to the confused [Hook] [Verse 2] 99 problems, b**hin' ain't one I've learned over the years how to imitate runnin' A tight ship for you So come here, let me bite that lip for you Okay, you can have your cake But you can't touch the icing You gotta hush the lightning Motherf**ing jailbirds like to sing, like: If that diamond rings your neck You've got no one else to blame Just your love for respect Where respect ain't due Protect your neck from the fangs you drew True blue-collar blood with You love it, you need it, but that love ain't true Your colors are shinin' through And there as yellow as the sun that's blindin' you (Can you hear me? I think I lost you) But I held on to your innocence Since you got a heart that beats still So just be still, come on out of the rain Open your ears and listen Now, some are out to win the big money And some are just out to aim And if all you see are triple sevens That's gonna go and cripple heaven for you [Hook] [Bridge] Now, if that diamond rings your neck You've got no one else to blame Just your love... [Outro] Now you're pa**ing the rock, and you're pa**ing the liquor Attracted to gods or attracted to bleeding That's a delivery straight from your will And it will k**, thrill, and haunt you Caught you holding on to things that weren't there And you weren't scared - there, there now Hold down those demons No rush, no rush, keep breathin'
