The Dead Weather
Mile Markers
The cold white flamingo wins
At black market bingo
That we used to play
But we don't play no more
We used to travel playing hotel games
Eating truck stop dinners with Christian names
Pointing out porn in payphones
Pinned into the core
Now I just count mile markers
Between your door and my door
Big boys, bad girls
Grind their teeth in stereo
Big boys, bad girls
Grind their teeth in stereo
I creep, I don't move
In the breeze like I used to
I bend backwards
At the elbows and the knees
The silver tap is spewing crap
And I'm halfway 'round the world
Flatlined
In a space between my teeth
I churned my milk and honey
I lost track of all the money
My family rescued some other stray dog
When it rains, I open windows
I just lay there, I just lay
Getting waterlogged, trying to get along
Big boys, bad girls
Grind their teeth in stereo
Big boys, bad girls
Grind their teeth in stereo
The cold white flamingo wins
At black market bingo
That we used to play
But we don't play no more
We used to travel playing hotel games
Eating truck stop dinners with Christian names
Pointing out porn in payphones
Pinned into the core
Now I just count mile markers
Between your door and my door
I creep, I don't move
In the breeze like I used to
I bend backwards
At the elbows and the knees
The silver tap is spewing crap
And I'm halfway 'round the world
I'm flatlined in a space between my teeth
I churned my milk and honey
But I lost track of all the money
So my family rescued some other stray dog
When it rains, I open windows
Let it all in
Oh waterlogged, just get it all
1-800-someone, sweepstakes donation
Blood or a trip to the Bahamas
I'd really like to see you
When you finish out your sentence
Dear soulmate, behind stripes and stars
Big boys
In stereo
