Local Legend

from Heavy by Tearing Up

/

lyrics

all of the glass, it shatters

as (if) it ever mattered

your hands worn and calloused
from climbing the ladder
you fired a shot, a shot

then you fired another

then a month went by

nothin to discover

it’s time to end it

find another premise

I remember the days when

you were such a menace

and I saw your face passing by

you were riding a train

hanging off the side
hair was wet from the rain

impatient, indifferent

key nose for bullshit
to have and to have not

trying to keep stoic
unbridled, unfettered

April-to-December

In the Summer, the colour

comes out of the heather



you are wild as the ocean

total fluke, blue whale

got an operation

you’re down at the hotel

and it works every time

it works every time


“meet me ‘round back no more waiting in line”

holding a pay stub

I thought that you gave up

thought you had been tamed


still undefeated

smiling and bleeding

credit to your name


your name, your name, your name

I beat my head against the wall for two weeks and now all your records sound a lot better to me
this is just a band

this is not a religion

his is my final sacrifice

this is my crucifixion

and we all want our idols to live our fantasies
it’s a nightmare to be someone
who never goes to sleep


I will not die for your sins
I will not solve your problems

I just give you the means
to make you think you forgot ‘em

holding a pay stub I thought that you gave up

thought you had been tamed

still undefeated, smiling and bleeding

credit to your name

holding a pay stub

I thought that you gave up

thought you had been tamed


still undefeated
smiling and bleeding

credit to your name 



your name, your name,
your name
