Sryan - Sizzle, Dizzle! lyrics

[Adam Maples] We might be going somewhere but before we go we must make our things All I wanna see you do is the sizzle, dizzle the sizzle, dizzle sizzle, dizzle [Sryan] People living their lives for you on TV They say they're better than you and you agree He says "Hold my calls from behind those cold brick walls" Says "Come here boys, there ain't nothing for free" Another doctor's bill, a lawyer's bill Another cute cheap thrill You know you love him if you put in your will We try to hustle them, try to bustle them, try to cuss them The cops want someone to bust down on Orleans Avenue Another day, another dollar, another war, Another tower went up, where the homeless had their homes So we pray to as many different Gods as there are flowers But we call religion our friend We're so worried about saving our souls Afraid that God will take His toll That we forget to begin Some are walking, some are talking, some are stalking their k** You got social security, but that doesn't pay your bills There are addictions to feed and there are mouths to pay So you bargain with the Devil, say you're OK for today, You say that you love them, take their money and run Say it's been swell, sweetheart, but it was just one of those things Those flings, those strings you've got to cut, So get out on the streets, girls, and bust you bu*ts You took your coat off and stood in the rain, You're always crazy like that. And I watched from my window, Always felt I was outside looking in on you. You're always the mysterious one with Dark eyes and careless hair, You were fashionably sensitive But too cool to care. You stood in my doorway, with nothing to say Besides some comment on the weather. You're always brilliant in the morning, Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee. Your philosophies on art, Baroque moved you. You loved Mozart and you'd speak of your loved ones As I clumsily strummed my guitar. You'd teach me of honest things, Things that were daring, things that were clean. Things that knew what an honest dollar did mean. I hid my soiled hands behind my back. Somewhere along the line, I must've got Off track with you. [Sryan] We might be going somewhere but before we go we must make our things All I wanna see you do is the sizzle, dizzle the sizzle, dizzle sizzle, dizzle [Adam Maples] Eighty years, an old lady now, sitting on the front porch Watching the clouds roll by They remind her of her lover, how he left her, and of times long ago. When she used to color carelessly painted his portrait A thousand times-or maybe just his smile- And she and her canvas would follow him wherever he would go Oil streaked daisies covered the living room wall He put water-colored roses in her hair He said, "Love, I love you, I want to give you mountains, the sunshine, the sunset too I just want to give you a world as beautiful as you are to me So they sat down and made a drawing of their love, they made it an art to live by They painted every, pa**ion every home, created every beautiful child in the winter they were weavers of warmth, in summer they were carpenters of love They thought blue prints were too sad so they made them yellow Until one day the rain fell as thick as black oil And in her heart she knew something was wrong She went running through the orchard screaming, 'No God, don't take him from me!,' But buy the time she got there, she feared he already had gone She got to where he lay, water-colored roses in his hands for her She threw them down screaming, 'Damn you man, don't leave me with nothing left behind but these cold paintings, these cold portraits to remind me! He said, 'Love I leave, but only a little, try to understand I put my soul in this life we created with these four hands Love, I leave, but only a little this world holds me still My body may die now, but these paintings are real.' So many seasons came and many seasons went and many times she saw her loves face watering the flowers, talking to the trees and singing to his children And when the wind blew, she knew he was listening, and how he seamed to laugh along, and how he seemed to hold her when she was crying [Adam Maples] Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep Let the world spin outside out door, you're the only one that I wanna see Tell your boss you're sick, hurry, get back in I'm getting cold Get over here and warm my hands up, boy, it's you they love to hold And stop thinking about what your sister said Stop worrying about it, the cat's already been fed We might be going somewhere but before we go we must make our things All I wanna see you do is the sizzle, dizzle the sizzle, dizzle sizzle, dizzle [Sryan] I hear the clock, it's six a.m. I feel so far from where I've been I got my eggs I got my pancakes too I got my maple syrup, everything but you. I break the yolks, make a smiley face I kinda like it in my brand new place I wipe the spots off the mirror Don't leave the keys in the door Never put wet towels on the floor anymore' cause I called my momma, she was out for a walk Consoled a cup of coffee but it didn't wanna talk So I picked up a paper, it was more bad news More hearts being broken or people being used Put on my coat in the pouring rain I saw a movie it just wasn't the same 'Cause it was happy or I was sad It made me miss you oh so bad 'cause I go about my business, I'm doing fine Besides what would I say if I had you on the line Same old story, not much to say Hearts are broken, everyday. I brush my teeth and put the cap back on I know you hate it when I leave the light on I pick a book up. Turn the sheets down. And then I take a deep breath and a good look around Put on my pjs and hop into bed I'm half alive but I feel mostly dead I try and tell myself it'll be all right I just shouldn't think anymore tonight 'cause [Sryan] Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep Let the world spin outside out door, you're the only one that I wanna see Tell your boss you're sick, hurry, get back in I'm getting cold Get over here and warm my hands up, boy, it's you they love to hold And stop thinking about what your sister said Stop worrying about it, the cat's already been fed We might be going somewhere but before we go we must make our things All I wanna see you do is the sizzle, dizzle the sizzle, dizzle sizzle, dizzle [Adam Maples] You find yourself falling down Your hopes in the sky But you heart like grape gum on the ground And you try to find yourself In the abstractions of religion And the cruelty of everyone else And you wake up to realize Your standard of living somehow got stuck on survive When you're standing in deep water And you're bailing yourself out with a straw And when you're drowning in deep water And you wake up making love to a wall Well it's these little times that help to remind It's nothing without love You wake up to realize your only friend Has never been yourself or anybody who cared in the end That's when suddenly everything fades or falls away 'Cause the chains which once held us are only the chains which we've made Turn to me with frozen lips Your hands are icy cold Your eyes burn bright against the frost-bit sky You never seemed more lovely than you do right tonight Pale on the horizon Like leaves frozen in the snow Our two shadows merge inseparably Will time stand still if it's pierced with cold The more I live The more I know [Adam Maples] Let the phone ring, let's go back to sleep Let the world spin outside out door, you're the only one that I wanna see Tell your boss you're sick, hurry, get back in I'm getting cold Get over here and warm my hands up, boy, it's you they love to hold And stop thinking about what your sister said Stop worrying about it, the cat's already been fed We might be going somewhere but before we go we must make our things All I wanna see you do is the sizzle, dizzle the sizzle, dizzle sizzle, dizzle
