C.O. McCauley lyrics : "Noon Shadows"
we was havin' a Saturday night on a Sunday afternoon
[D]
rockin' with the radio and shootin' with the spoon
[G C G]
a roach was on the final joint, a freight train in our head
[D G]
just enough time for one more toke and tearin' up in bed
[A D A]
we tangled on the bedroom floor, we tangled on the table
[E]
tangled in the kitchen sink and tangled when we're able
[A D A]
the room was full of empties, the ash tray full of caps
[E A]
zig-zag wrappers on the floor, the mirror lined with crack
[A D A]
shakin' bare-assed on the bar, we danced the hoochie-coochie
[E]
swingin' hers and swingin' mine, tryin' to get un-woozy
[A D A]
while j !@#* was a howlin', lord, for her Mercedes benz
[E A]
the music playin' loud and hot. as cool as our gone friends
[G C G]
we was havin' a Saturday night on a Sunday afternoon
[D]
rockin' with the radio and shootin' with the spoon
[G C G]
a roach was on the final joint, a freight train in our head
[D G]
just enough time for one more toke and throwin' up in bed
[A D A]
suzy stretched her lips to sing, danced naked on the wall
[E]
the floor come up and smacked her head, and lifted down her fall
[A D A]
she stopped and stared but couldn't find what she was lookin' at
[E A]
so I picked her down and laid her up, and placed her where she sat
[A D A]
the blood was a runnin' around her cheek, the knot was growin' bigger
[E]
she told me not to nevermind, and wished I's hung like trigger
[A D A]
I told her that my tongue was thick, as somethin' goin' wrong
[E A]
she told me not to nevermind, nothin's bad as this here song
[G C G]
we was havin' a Saturday night on a Sunday afternoon
[D]
rockin' with the radio and shootin' with the spoon
[G C G]
a roach was on the final joint, a freight train in our head
[D G]
just enough time for one more toke and forget what we just said
[A D A]
the sun was dyin' on the shade, we'd finally reached forever
[E]
the booze was gone, the drugs was done, the music didn't matter
[A D A]
nothin' left to keep us right but the sirens in our head
[E A]
roarin' like the silence of the torn and tortured bed
[A D A]
yesterday's tomorrow was as far away as china
[E]
the reason for us bein' here as faded as the time-a
[A D A]
we said our last hello goodbye and staggered to the street
[E A]
full of all the lies we said and planni' never again to meet
