The Dead Weather - Rocking Horse

I drank some dirty water

Shook evil hands

I've done some bad things

And they get easier to do

Then I wrote a nasty letter

And I sent it to the Lord

I said don't you dare come

And bother me no more

I had a good friend

I could only destroy

And lovers I loved less

Than anybody could afford

Yes but this old rocking horse

Just nods his head

And he's gonna rock back and forth

The way that he always did

Baby don't you bother

Tasting the water

And baby don't you bother

Coming closer to me

Can you see my eyes?

They're half the size

And I'm not able

To look at you

The Dead Weather - Lose The Right

I always knew you put poison in your potion

I lost my will to reason so long ago

You are as broken as the ghost that you believe in

I seen him in you, you know

Listen to me when I tell you what you mean to me

Just to clear the air, the air around you is killing me

Oh, whatever's in between you and me and the vicinity

It isn't fair to me so leave and don't come back to me

Oh, you lose the right

Oh, you lose the right

When your mind goes straight to hell, you lose the right

To tell anybody what to do

Your fire licks the sky just to blind

Whoever happens to come close enough to you

You lose the right

I always knew you put poison in your potion

You're broke like the ghost, the ghost, the ghost

The ghost that you believe in

Oh oh, you lose the right

Oh oh, you lose the right

The Dead Weather - No Horse

I ain't got no horse

I ain't got no horizon

Just the scars on my eyes

I swear I got from crying

Where I was born it don't matter

There ain't no going back

I have no home to take you

I never dream like that

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

And I think, what the hell, hell, hell

I don't want you to like me

There's no way that you can

I don't want you to touch me, honey

I am just so mad

There ain't no kind of feeling

All my coins are flipped out

I'm just living and breathing

For what I steal formyself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself

And I think, what the hell, hell, hell

The Dead Weather - Let Me Through

Lovin' is a wild thing
And if you stand in my way
I'm gonna bully bully bully
Bully till I'm free

The apple is shining
Like glass on a highway
Devotion is salt in
Salt in any wound of my say

I got a bloodhound tooth
Hanging like a dagger in a bar back west
If you try and pull it down
You know I'll save all my best

Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom
Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom

Trouble is my heart twin
I shovel as I sing sing
I'm gonna dig it till I cut through
Heaving on the whole thing

The moon is mindless
But it's pulling is timeless
I'm gonna bully bully like this
Hike this until my path is windless

I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through

I got a bloodhound tooth
Hanging like a dagger in a bar back west
If you try and pull it down
You know I'll save all my best

Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom
Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom

Ooh, no one knows better than
Ooh, than the wrecker and the wrecked man
Ooh, don't need no protector
I'm a bad man, let me through

I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through
I'm a bad man, let me through, ow

I got a bloodhound tooth
Hanging like a dagger in a bar back west
If you try and pull it down
You know I'll save all my best

Shots for you
Boom, boom, boom
Shots for you you you
Boom, boom, boom

Ooh
Ooh
Ooh

The Dead Weather - Blue Blood Blues

Yeah, I love you so much.
I don't need to resist.
I don't need to exist.
Dripping blue blood from the wrist.
I don't need to resist.
And all the neighbors get pissed when I come home.
I make em nervous. Yeah, I make em nervous.

Crack a window, crack a broken bone.
Crack your knuckles when you're at home.
Lick an ice cream cone. Crack a bone.

All you had to do was ask.
Who is it that wears the mask?
When you give me the task.
Leave me broke and shirtless.
Check your lips at the door woman.
Shake your hips like battleships.

Yeah, all the white girls trip when I sing at Sunday service.
Sing. Sing. Sing.

I only got one face da da da da.
I tried too long to erase.
You know if I left. da da da da.
I wouldn't leave a trace.

If I left you woman, you know, I wouldn't leave a trace.
I wouldn't leave a trace. I wouldn't leave a trace.

If I left, you'd never see me again.
You'd never see me again.
I wouldn't leave a trace.

You'd never see me again.

The Dead Weather - Bone House

I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home

I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home

I wrote a song
Go on and listen
That's all you'll hear
When I go missing

I wrote a song
Go on and listen
That's all you'll hear
When I go missing

I always get, I always get,
The things I want

I make a nest
For your hair
I lay you down
I lay you there
I build a ship
I sink or sail
Every tooth
And every nail

I always get, the things I want
I always get, the things I want
I always get, the things I want
I always get, the things I want

I put your heart
In a vault
That's how I get
The things I want

I put your heart
In a vault
That's how I get
The things I want

I lay a road
For your mind
So your mind can
Go, go, go, go

I lay a road
For your mind
So your mind can
Go, go, go, go

I always get the things I want
I always get the things I want
I always get the things I want
I always get the things I want

I build a house
I build a home
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home

The Dead Weather - Open Up (That's Enough)

Have you noticed the rivers and the clocks, they're not moving?
What about the birds you got stuck on your ceiling, chirping?
I breathe in but I choke, little things make a landslide go
If I knew just the pin to hold in I'd build walls and you know, you know I would

My hand is faster than the pen but the end has been written down
Still the ink will not dry, undermined by a hope that I'm wrong

Open up, open up

I see your roses grew noses and noses go and get broken
And there's a hope, there's a place, there's a sickened feeling
I look into the space that defaced my belief in
Where we are, what it means, and what did you say your name was?
Well say it again

Open up, open up

Mind is faster than pen but the end is so stupid
Like bubblegum in your hair isn't fair but it smells good
Breathe in but you choke, but you choke on a mouthful
Of everything that you hoped, that you hoped was not there
But it's here, it's here

Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough

Have you noticed the rivers and the clocks, they're all sleeping?
Is it me or you who would stop yelling and screaming?
And there's a place with the lows and frequencies we're hearing

Open up, open up

Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough, that's enough
Open up, open up
That's enough

The Dead Weather - Impossible Winner

I am the desert sun
The ever endless sea
Not a drop of blue or white
Is where it shouldn't be

I am a wheel going round
In a mirror house
A maze with no way out
What you have fears about

Holding on
To everything that's come and gone
I need distraction
Get me out from in between
Everything I've ever seen
Don't be long
I'm no beginner
I'll be here every night
My name up in lights
‘The impossible winner’

I am the wilderness
Dark end of the street
Coast of infinity
Far as the eye can see

I am a white noise song
Thorn upon a thorn
A wind that whips around
No part of any storm

Holding on
To everything that's come and gone
I need distraction
Get me out from in between
Everything I've ever seen
Don't be long
I'm no beginner
I'll be here every night
My name up in lights
‘The impossible winner’

Drag my body through the sand
Drag my body down the road
Drag me off to the end
Turn around, here I am
Drag me down, down low
Down, down some more
It makes no difference
Turn around, here I am

The Dead Weather - The Difference Between Us

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm never here or there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

Let's go walk to the border
Let's go walk along the inch
Let's go when no one can see us
And find the difference between us

You can cry like a baby
Just let me do what I need to
It might be to me or to you
Just let me do what I need to

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

Let's go walk to the border
Let's go walk along the inch
Let's go when no one can see us
And find the difference between us

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

Let's go walk to the border
Let's go walk along the inch
Let's go when no one can see us
And find the difference between us

You can cry like a baby
Just let me do what I need to
It might be to me or to you
Just let me do what I need to

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

The Dead Weather - Die By The Drop

Let's dig a hole in the sand, brother
A little grave we can fill together
I got myself a problem
That I been looking to sell

Some people die just a little
Sometimes you die by the drop
Some people die in the middle
I live just fine on the top

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna make you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
to my little grave

I never said we was equal
I never wished to be saved
If I'm a problem then preach on?
Let's dig a little grave

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna make you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
to my little grave

Let's dig a hole in the sand, brother
Starve off the land for worse or better
Get right down to the bottom
If one goes I'll dig the other

Some people die just a little
Sometimes you die by the drop
Some people die in the middle
I live just fine on the top

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna make you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
to my little grave

The Dead Weather - So far from your weapon

There's a bullet in my pocket burning a hole
It's so far from your weapon, the place you were born
There's a bullet in my pocket burning a hole
Your so far from your weapon and you wanna go home

I tried to give you whiskey but it never did work
(I tried to give you whiskey but it never did work)
Suddenly you're begging me to do so much work
(Suddenly you're begging me to do so much work)
Right away from the get go the bullet was cursed
Ever since i had you every little thing hurts.

You wanna get up, let go, I said no
You wanna get up, let go
You wanna get up, let go, I said no
You wanna get up, let go

You dream of seeing fire in them hills
But you better wipe that smile from your lips
Which of us will be the one to go
(Which of us will be the one to go )
He who hits the roads the one who lives
(He who hits the roads the one who lives)

You wanna get up, let go, I said no
You wanna get up, let go
You wanna get up, let go, I said no
You wanna get up, let go

Theres a bullet in my pocket burning a hole
Its so far from your weapon, the place you were born
There a bullet in my pocket burning a hole
You're so far from your weapon and you wanna go home
(You're so far from your weapon and you wanna go home)

You wanna get up, let go, I said no
You wanna get up, let go
You wanna get up, let go, I said no
You wanna get up, let go

The Dead Weather - Hang You From The Heavens

I never knew how to treat you
You think I love you but it ain't the truth
I'm walking away now, one step forward, back two
I like to grab you by the hair and hang you up from the heavens

I don't know how to let you go or if I should keep you
I don't know how to let you know, hey!
I really didn't have a reason
I like to grab you by the hair and drag you to the devil

I never know why I push you, just to, just to confuse you
I make my holes just to see now
See through, see how to hurt you
I like to grab you by the hair and hang you up from the heavens

I like to grab you by the hair and sell you off to the devil
I never know what mood to be
Be mine, be kind but be cruel to me
I'm walking away now, one step forward and back three

I never know what I'm going to do
I think I'm leaving but it ain't true
I've got a lot I can could do to you, hey!
Nothing you can do to stop it
I want to grab you by the hair
I want to grab you by the hair
I want to grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens
