With one or two I get used to the room
We go slow when we first make our moves
By five or six bring you out to the car
By number nine with my head on the bar
(In the bar)
And it's sad but true
Out of cash and IOUs
I got desperate desires
And unadmirable plans
My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent
Bring you back to the bar
Get you out of the cold
My sober straight face gets you out of your clothes
And they're scared that we know
All the crimes they'll commit
Who they'll kiss before they get home
I will lie awake
And lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
Barely conscious in the door where you stand
Your eyes are fighting sleep
While your mouth makes your demands
You laugh at every word
Trying hard to be cute
I almost feel sorry for what I'm gonna do
And your hair smells of smoke
Who will cast the first stone?
You can sin or spend the night all alone
Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold
In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone
And you're using all your looks
That you've thrown from the start
If you let me have my way
I swear I'll tear you apart
Cause it's all
You can be
You're a drunk
And you're scared
It's ladies night and all the girls drink for free
I will lie awake
And lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
I will lie awake
And lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
I will lie awake
And lie for fun
And fake the way I hold you
Let you fall for every empty word I say
Deja Entendu

". I will lie awake. And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you. Let you fall for every empty word I say. " If that isn't the greatest part of a song ever I don't know what is.

Another one of my favorites from Deja. Catchy, with well written lyrics and it was all brought to perfect with the guitar and the vocals. Fantasmic.

This song is so mellow and just... a very soothing song. It's been said before... But yes, a mellow song with some kind of harsh lyrics.

The title has to do with losing greatness. Maradona was one of the most amazing soccer players ever, but he gained alot of weight and that slowed his performance greatly. Kinda like with elvis, he got addicted to drugs and then just became a sideshow kinda of act. Jesse is saying how he feels old and like he's battling with the side of life that people hate, which is losing what you once excelled at.

I wrote a whole paper based on this song basically about the most god awful woman in existence. I could just picture her being the person in this song, and I really succeeded at fitting her to it.

What a great song... Jesse illudes to his fear of falling out of existence as a result of fame... he is afraid of loosing touch with the world. At the same time, he tells a great story. Ahhh... what would i be without BN????
