Les paroles de la chanson
« Deadwood »
Garbage

Handcuffed in the present tense
Variations on your violence
Mind games and pretty girls
A cracked song in the universe
I think it’s time that I showed you what I’m made of
I’m afraid there is so much to be afraid of
I kill the fire so I don’t get burned
Kill the fire and you won’t get burned

Deadwood if you care to listen
Looks the same but there’s something missing
It wears me out

Stripped bare I’m the same old savage
How in His name did we ever manage
It’s not enough

[Répétition 1] :
Look me in the eye
I’m about to dive
Can you live your life
Without me

I don’t need you anymore
I can’t use you anymore
Killing the fire
And you kill the desire
I don’t need you anymore

Loud and clear but you still don’t get it
I call you up and then I’ll regret it
It gets me down

You want the truth but you look right through it
Deadwood, but you hold on to it
It’s such a shame

[Répétition 1]

I don’t need you anymore
I can’t use you anymore
Killing the fire and you kill the desire
I don’t need you anymore

[Répétition] : x2
First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes baby in a golden carriage

I don’t need you anymore
I can’t use you anymore

Killing the fire and you kill the desire x7

Symptomatic of what we’ve become
I used to think you were the only one
The only one x6

First comes love
Then comes marriage
Then comes baby in a golden carriage
Then comes loneliness.
