Hammers and Strings (A Lullaby) - Jack's Mannequin

These hammers and strings

Been following been following me around

From a box filled garage

To the the dark punk rock clubs

Of 1000 American towns

And my friend calls me up She says how have you been?

I say Dear I’ve been well.

Yeah the money has been coming.

But i miss as hell

I still hear you in this old piano, yeah

She says Andy, I know

That we don’t talk as much

But i sill hear your ghost

In these old punk rock clubs

Come on write me a song

Give me something to trust

Just promise you wont let it be Just the keys you touch

Give me something to believe in A breath from breathing

So write it down

I don’t think I’ll close my eyes,

Cause lately I’ve not been dreaming

So whats the point in sleeping

It’s just that at night

I’ve got no where to hide

So I’ll write you a lullaby.

A lullaby

These hammer and strings

Been following me around

Behind passenger vans

To snow dirts and sands

Of 1000 American towns

And My friends calls me up With her heart heavy still

She says Andy the doctors

Prescribed me the pills

But i know I know I’m not crazy

I just lost my will

So why am I why am I taking them still?

Give me something to believe in A breath from breathing

So write it down

I don’t think I’ll close my eyes,

Cause lately I’ve not been dreaming

So whats the point in sleeping

It’s just that at night

I’ve got no where to hide

So I’ll write you a lullaby.

A lullaby

Give me something to believe in So write it down I don’t think I’ll close my eyes,

Cause lately I’m not dreaming

So whats the point sleeping

It’s just that at night

I’ve got no where to hide

To the sleepless this this is my reply

So I will write you a lullaby.

A lullaby

A lullaby

A lullaby
