Every Single Night (Live) Songtext / Lyric

Every single night

I endure the flight

Of little wings of white-flamed

Butterflies in my brain



These ideas of mine

Percolate the mind

Trickle down the spine

Swarm the belly, swelling to a blaze



That's where the pain comes in

Like a second skeleton

Trying to fit beneath the skin

I can't fit the feelings in, no

Every single night's alight with my brain



What'd I say to her

Why'd I say to her

What does she think of me?

That I'm not what I ought to be






That I'm what I try not to be

It's got to be somebody else's fault

I can't get caught

If what I am is what I am, 'cause I does what I does



Then brother, get back

'Cause my breast's gonna bust open

The rib is the shell and the heart is a yolk

I just made a meal for us both to choke on

Every single night's a fight with my brain



I just want to feel everything

I just want to feel everything

I just want to feel everything



So I'm gonna try to be still now

Gonna renounce the mill a little while and

If we had a double-king-sized bed

We could move in it and I'd soon forget



That what I am is what I am 'cause I does what I does

And maybe I'd relax; let my breast just bust open

My heart's made of parts of all that surround me

And that's why the devil just can't get around me



Every single night's alright

Every single night's a fight

And every single fight's alright with my brain



I just want to feel everything

I just want to feel everything

I just want to feel everything

I just want to feel everything
