Stranded (On Our Own)
Titus Andronicus

Let's rock.


[Verse 1]

Crazy heart, where have you gone?

I thought that you and me were really getting along!

Left alone to dread the dawn

Like some kind of science experiment gone wrong

I could've made history, now I've been made history

And who knew that victory could be so slippery?


[Chorus 1]

Cover the thick bloodstains

On your sick young brain

Just take your Ritalins

Then you can play the old hits again


[Verse 2]

You explained the Abyss away

And I can't listen when you say you're not missing me

You kissed me in the blistering heat, oh yeah, yeah!

Right there on the street with tears on my glistening cheek

Now no one listens to me, they tell me that I'm twisted and weak

I see that I was picked to be the picture in the dictionary


[Chorus 2]

Look up Addicted, that's me

Then look up Wicked disease

Then look up Sick of police

Then look up Victim closely, ooh yeah


[Instrumental Break]


[Verse 3]

I meet the mystery beast, the same one my sister receives


He comes to bludgeon and beat, demands me on both knees

He will not admit defeat and when he pricks, I'm going to bleed

And I can raise fists or flee, soon shouting, No, mister, please!


[Chorus 3]

He destroys the diseases

As though Jesus could see us

High up in a cathedral

Where an evil heart freezes

And even the devil would start to believe it

When the man without equal, from the pulpit, preaches

You gotta believe he can show you the secrets

That's what a priest is, Mama


[Verse 4]

He comes to obliterate all of my mischievous ways

And leaves me a useless disgrace, silent through limitless rage

Violently neutered and caged, stuffed with subliminal hate

I'm nothing but a puppet at play, crying in a beautiful place


[Chorus 4]

Another brutal display

On an invisible face

In a legal-ish space

It's the usual way within a week of Wednesday


[Outro]

Crazy heart, where have you gone?

I thought that you and me...

I thought that you and me...

I thought that you and me were really getting along
