Lyrics Stone Cold Mess - The Jayhawks

Stone Cold Mess

Well, I just wanna remember you
Just the way you’re standing there
With that «hurry home» look in your eyes
And flowers on the ground
Sometimes I sleep a little
Sometimes I sleep a lot
Just trying hard to forget
And to make believe I’m right
Just a smile and the stone-cold mess
Cool, cool water running down my back
Cool, cool water running down my back
In the mouth, last night’s cigarettes
In the head, a lousy beer
Well, I tell her, «Keep the gravity»
As I’m falling off my chair
So I paint a pretty picture
And I hang it on the wall
But it’s hanging kinda crooked there
In my dark and empty soul
Just a smile and the stone-cold mess
And cool, cool water running down my back
Cool, cool water running down my back
Just a smile and the stone-cold mess
Cool, cool water running down my back
Cool, cool water running down my back
Well, I just wanna remember you
Just the way you’re standing there
With that «hurry home» look in your eyes
And flowers all over the ground
Sometimes I sleep a little
'Cause you know I sleep on nails
Just trying hard to forget
And to make believe I’m right
Just a smile and the stone-cold mess
Cool, cool water running down my back
Cool, cool water running down my back
Cool, cool water running down my back
