EVERCLEAR LYRICS - Misery Whip

"Misery Whip"



Walking wounded with a belly

full of pain

And a big bad attitude



We are shaking shadows for that

perfect dark room

Where we can do just what we

want to do



There is a place...



Where we can leave behind

All those simple minds

They would not like

the way we live



When we are all alone

In this house that we call home

You will become my

misery whip



(yes...I said like a misery whip)



Walking hungry with a pocket

full of promise

And a big black song

in my head



I know the answers to

my questions

They are purple black and blue

And they are waiting for me in my bed



There is a place...



Where we can leave behind

All those simple minds

They would not like

they way we live



When we are all alone

In this house that we call home

You will become my

misery whip

(I will say it again...

like a misery whip)



Stop!



I get no pleasure

When I'm going through

the motions

Of my mediocre day to day

I'm just an actor

Just like

Robert fucking Redford

When I say those stupid words

That they expect me to say



Yes we can leave behind

All those simple minds

They would not like the dirty

things we do



Yeah



When we are all alone

In this house that we

call home...

I will fall down like a bitch

for you



I need you to hit me and

make me

Shake

I need you to hurt me and

make me

Beg for more

I need you to bend me and

make me

Break

I need you to make me feel like

I am your whore



I feel complete when

I feel sick inside



I need to feel like

I am real inside



I need to feel like

I am really alive



I need you to make me feel



I need you to hit me and

make me

Shake

I need you to hurt me and

make me

Beg for more

I need you to bend me and

make me

Break

I need you to make me feel



Like we can leave behind

All those simple minds

They would not like

the way we live



When we are all alone

In this house that we call home

You will become my

misery whip



You will become my

misery whip



You will become my friend
