Start It Up Songtext
von The Weeks

He was young once more than bones and blood
Now he′s shaky with a liars face
He was empty except for whiskey
Said he loved it but he hates the taste
She was home sick, had a nervous tick
Liked to grow but was afraid of change
She was stuck there, found a home where
The family showed up so she couldn't stay

I get nervous and I′m often sick
This is where we were lead
I heard they're living hand to mouth now
Well at least they get fed
It helps her when she weeps


He was held up, it's hard to tell but
He looked better with his younger face
She was stuck there, she needed a bus fare
Someone to help her out and count her change
To him she′s beautiful, her movements musical
He liked the way she spoke of time and space
They were stuck there, they had blank stares,
But who am I to say that they should change

I get nervous and I′m often sick
This is where we were lead
I heard they're living hand to mouth now
Well at least they get fed
It helps her when she weeps
She only seems to weep
Only when I sing

I get nervous and I′m often sick
This is where we were lead
I heard they're living hand to mouth now
Well at least they get fed
I get nervous and I′m often sick
This is where we were lead
I heard they're living hand to mouth now
Well at least they get fed

It helps her when she weeps
She only seems to weep
It helps her when she weeps
Only when I sing
