I've Been Delievered Lyrics - Singles - The Wallflowers

I could break free from the 

Wood of a coffin 

If I need 

But nothin's hard as 

Gettin' free from places 

I've already been 

I've been waste-deep 

In the burnin' meadows 

Of my mind 

In the engine 

In cold December 

Shootin' fire from the hose

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

Now turn off your lights 

'Cause I'm not comin' home 

'Til I'm delivered for the first time 

I was first-born to a parade 

That follows in rows 

Down a narrow cold black river 

Faceless shadows 

Movin' slow 

I would move swift when 

The sounds of a trumpet would blow 

I've been the puppet 

I've been the strings 

I know the vacant face it brings 

Now the bells of curfew 

They may ring before I'm through 

But soon 

I'll be delivered for the first time 

Photos 

You might keep clean 

In the back of an angel motorcade 

It doesn't matter who walks in 

You know, the joke is still the same 

You'll just wake up 

Like a disposable lover 

Decomposed 

I've been gone 

I've been remembered 

I've been alive 

I've been a ghost 

So now, if downtown explodes 

I'll still be on this road 

'Til I'm delivered for the first time 

I have drawn blood 

From the neckline 

When vampires were in fashion 

You know I'd even learn 

To cut my throat 

If I thought I could fit in 

'Cause I, I once heard 

That you gotta learn 

How to blend in to this mess 

Where nothin's hard 

Nothin's precious 

And nothin's smooth or flawless 

Now, no more amused 

Just screaming to be delivered 

For the first time 

Now I'm 10 miles in the deep 

And mighty blue sea 

Looking back, towards a long white beach 

Burnin' up into yellow flames 

And I just wave back 

Like a little boy up on a pony 

In a show 

'Cause I can't fix 

Something this complex 

Any more than I can build a rose 

So just keep on letting go 

'Cause I must be close 

To being delivered for the first time 

Now I'd rather bleed out 

A long stream from being lonely 

And feel blessed 

Well than drown, laying face down 

In a puddle of respect 

I was once lost 

In the corridors of the arena 

In blindfolds 

I've been the bull 

I've been the whip 

I just pulled down the matador 

So now, turn on your lights 

'Cause I'm comin' home 

I've been delivered for the first time
