about

Written on the mean streets of Chicago, this is a low down dirty ditty.

lyrics

She tore my heart like a tiger
Just by walkin' away
Left it beatin' on the jungle floor

I told that woman
Before I hit the ground
Come back to you're daddy once more

She said "Oh no I'm sorry but I ain't gonna fall for that!"
"I'm tellin' you da truth as plain as day!"
"You a sweet man Poppa, but you'll just make me cry."
My heart stopped beatin' when she took her love away

Now I walk these streets
Vacant look in my eye
Hole in my soul the size of kingdom come
Gotta little hope in my pocket
A tall drink in my hand
A sweet little rider who don't care where I'm from

Gotta forget you woman
But I see you every where
See you every time I close my eyes
Wish ol' death would come get me
And put me in the ground
Hell right now would feel like paradise

Come on and get me!

She tore my heart like a tiger
Just by walkin' away
Left it beatin' on the jungle floor

I told that woman
Before I hit the ground
Come back to you're daddy once more

Steeped in influences from Robert Johnson to Radiohead. Their sound is distilled in a boiler of mercurial energy that swirls with tempo changes and dynamic peaks and valleys, holding the ear and refusing to let go. ... more
