Lyrics:
|
Dead leaves and the dirty ground
when I know you're not around
shiny pops and soda pops
when I hear your tips make a sound
Thirty notes in the mailbox
will tell you that I'm coming home
and I think I'm gonna stick around
for a while so you're not alone
If you can hear a piano fall
you can hear me coming down the hall
if I could just hear your pretty voice
I don't think I need to see at all
Soft hair and a velvet tongue
I want to give you what you give to me
and every breath that is in your lungs
is a tiny little gift to me
I didn't feel so bad till the sun went down
then I come home
no one to wrap my arms around
Well any man with a microphone
can tell you what he loves the most
and you know why you love at all
if you're thinking of the holy ghost

Alternate Ryan Lyrics:
|
|
|
Dead Leaves and the burning ground
|
|
|
When you I'm not around
|
|
|
30 letters in a mailbox when you know that you hear
the sound
|
|
|
Know that you hear the sound
|
|
|
If you could a piano fall you could hear me coming
down the hall
|
|
|
Meg White you do me alright
|
|
|
You do me anyway I want
|
|
|
Do me anyway I want
|
|
|
Yeah, Detroit they got some bands and they'll blow
you're fuckin' mind
|
|
|
Volebeats, the White Stripes, maybe the Von Bondies or
the Goldtime
|
|
|
Went down and met my
friends said "Shit, I better stick around"
|
|
|
Poor Jack White he can't get no sleep since Mr. Ryan
he come around
|
|
|
Since Mr. Ryan he come around
|
|
|
Mr. Jack you gonna get it back but you gonna have to
wait your turn
|
|
|
Taking on everything you got and everything you wanna
learn
|
|
|
Gonna take it all with me
|
|
|
Cause I'm feelin' like a cat
|
|
|
Don't got no alley, got a limousine, with money
|
|
|
How you like that Mr. Jack
|
|
|
Yeah, How do you like that
