The intro to Deer Tick’s break-up/depressed opus, “The Rock” is a deep and personal song about a proposal and then your Fiance thinking it isn’t such a good idea.
[Intro]
My love for you is all but new
I'd give the rock, to only you
It is the piece, that can't break through
The window of our love
My love for you is all but new
I'd give the rock to only you
It is the piece that can't break through
The window of our love
My love for you is all but new
I'd give the rock, to only you
It is the piece, that can't break through
The window of our love
[Verse 1]
Don't, paint my picture
Sleeping on the ground
Come on, little sister
You know what you have found
[Chorus 1]
The heart, beaten like a sinner
The sweat, melting like a bad trip
Oh-oh, the rock
Sits there dead
[Verse 2]
Don't, hold me closer
It's all too sweet to last
Come on, fellow goner
The glory days have passed
[Chorus 2]
The lungs, crazy for your perfume
The tongue, praying for renewal
Oh-oh, the rock
No interest
[Outro]
Don't, paint my picture
Sleeping on the ground
Come on, little sister
You know what you have found
