JACKS MANNEQUIN lyrics : "Hammer And Strings (A Lullaby)"

These hammers and strings
Been following me around
From a box filled garage

To the dark punk rock clubs
Of 1000 American crowds
And my friend calls me up

She says, "how have you been?"
I say, "dear I've been well,
Yeah the money's coming

But I miss you like hell.
I still hear you in this
Old piano, oh yeah."

She says, "Andy, I know
That we don't talk as much
But I still hear your ghost

In these old punk rock clubs
Come on, write me a song
Give me something to trust

Just promise you won't let it be
Just the keys that you touch."


Give me something to believe in,
A breath from the breathing
So write it down,

I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming
So what's the point in sleeping?

It's just that at night,
I've got nowhere to hide
So I write you a lullaby

A lullaby

These hammers and strings

Been following me around
Behind passenger vans
Through the snow, dirt, and sands

Of 1000 American towns
And my friend calls me up
With her heart heavy still

She says, "Andy, the doctors
Prescribed me the pills.
But I know I'm not crazy.

I just lost my will.
So why am I, why am I
Taking them still?"


I need something to believe in
A breath from the breathing

So write it down,
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming

So what's the point in sleeping?
It's just that at night,
I've got nowhere to hide


To the sleepless, this is my reply:
I will write you a lullaby,

A lullaby.

Give me something to believe in,

So write it down,
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cause lately I'm not dreaming

So what's the point in sleeping?
It's just that at night,
I've got nowhere to hide


To the speepless, this is my reply:
I'll write you a lullaby

A lullaby, a lullaby, a lullaby
