Obliteration Overload Songtext
von Calvin Johnson

When the morning turns cold
When the morning turns cold

The question marks that dot my eyes
Measure the breach from the warmth of the night

When the morning turns cold

I′ll keep a lie
I'll keep a lie and a promise to you
I′ll keep a lie and a promise to you

When I keep a lie it becomes a truth

I can keep a lie

When a promise is kept
When a promise is kept it matures
When a promise is kept it matures


The moment it's redeemed endures

And the lie

Flourishes, flourishes, flourishes

Tuck your cuffs into your boots
Tuck the cuffs into your boots

A sharp look
A sharp lookin' wrangler

And I′m wearing your noose
And I′m wearing your noose

You sharpen your spurs
You sharpen your spurs on my heart of stone

Obliteration overload

When the morning turns cold

You tuck your cuffs into your boots
