Clemenceau Songtext
von Pinback

Hand-me-down halo
Halo, hello

Hand-me-down

Hello

I saw you (I saw you)
Asleep in the car (Asleep in the car)
On the first wave out of a fallen town

They follow to another cell (Hand-me-down halo)
(Halo, hello)
They follow to another cell (Hand-me-down)
To another cell (Hello)

I watched you (I watched you)
From the bars of my room (From the bars of my room)

Always got a suntan at the first light of every Sunday
Of every Sunday
And your broken teeth, like a mangled screen
And your burnout smile on your ashtray face


Made me sick, you always made me sick

Made me sick, you always made me sick

(Take my cell now) Have a cigarette, have an omelette
(Take my cell now) A little nasty, a little balloon
(Made me sick, you always made me sick)

(Take my cell now) Have a coldsore, have a nightmare
(Take my cell now) A little memory, a little history
(Made me sick, you always made me sick)
Have a problem, have a collapse

A little sympathy, a little sympathy (Made me sick, you always made me sick)
(Take my cell now) Have a pager, have a baby

(Take my cell now) A little medicine, a little discipline
(Made me sick, you always made me sick)
(Take my cell now) Have a lie-down, have a sugar-hand

(Take my cell now) A little hassle, a little enemy
(Made me sick, you always made me sick)
(Take my cell now) Have a number, have a walletchain


(Take my cell now) A little nickname, a little self-pity
(Made me sick, you always made me sick)
