Uppers Aren't Necessary Lyrics - Rocky Votolato

Lead me through these cities of imaginary trends 

Something's gonna be changing come the morning time my friend 

As fickle as these streets are they might not even wait around till then 

I've got a lot to loose so come and take it from me quick 

Everything you loose if it makes you stronger it makes you sick 

Take these cities from me I'll build buildings up with my own 

Bare hands 

The uppers aren't necessary the guilt is the coal 

That keeps the fire burning to drive out the cold 

That creeps 

In every corner crack and never leaves you alone 

Till the lonely 

Messengers come calling you back home 

The trees are stacked 

In rows on the side of the road 

Stripped of any dignity a birthing 

May have had 

100 thousand crucified on the Mojave I-5 line 

Singers shepherds and salesmen all longing for someone 

To kill the joy of wondering and end all their desire 

To help them to remember that the road is nothing but a liar 

The uppers aren't necessary the guilt is the coal 

That keeps 

The fire burning to drive out the cold 

That creeps in every 

Corner crack and never leaves you alone 

'Til the lonely 

Messengers come calling you back 

To the red door, cracked 

And crooked walk way 

The fence impaling the stars 

Ghostly 

Keepers lead the way through railroads of abandoned cars 

The tracks and city streets cut through like scars
