Sick as a Dog - Hamilton Leithauser, ROSTAM

Sing to me softly

Your words had lost me

Yeah, but your voice sounds nice

Sing to me slowly

Blow me some smoke

I don’t mind it in my eyes

Oh, I’ve been running

I ran out of room

So I took my pocket change

And bought a chain for you

Your suitcase is empty

Your clothes are still out

At night I still wonder

Why we can’t leave this town

Don’t leave me now

(Don't leave me now)

Don’t leave me now

(Don't leave me now)

Don’t leave me now

(Don't leave me now)

Don’t leave me now

Sing to me softly

Your words have lost me

Yeah, but your tune is right

Talk to me slowly

Blow me some smoke

It’s something I always like

Oh, I’d keep humming

That strange hollow tune

'Til I blew my pipes out

Left my throat in ruins

My heart is so empty

The bottom fell out

Tonight, I’m just begging you

Please don’t shut me out

Don’t shut me out

(Don't shut me out)

Don’t shut me out

(Don't shut me out)

Don’t shut me out

(Don't shut me out)

Don’t shut me out

And so I sing that song

The one from way back

Right now, the hurt is gone

It doesn’t sound so bad

Yeah, when I sing that song

It doesn’t sound so bad

I use the same voice

I always had

I use the same voice

I always had

I use the same voice

I always had

I use the same voice

I always had
