Leader Of The Landslide lyrics

Every night I saw you there

In your old wicker chair

Singing, ooh

You were wrong, I was right

Didn't matter in a fight, ooh

Coffee mug filled it up

Always knew what it was

Sing, ooh

Been on your side for years

You could never love without crying

Is she dead, is she fine

Every day, every night

Fate has dealt me a lonely blow, I said, ooh

Tried to help, only hurt

In the end I made it worse

Is she dead, is she fine

Every day, every night

Give back my keys, give back my chair

Take back those clothes you always left on the floor

You drove like wild, drove me insane

Drank the whole bottle, forgot my name

All I ever wanted was a mother for the first time

Finally I could see you as the leader of the landslide

She left, she left, the writing's on the wall

Please believe me, I smell the alcohol

The only thing I know is that we're in too deep

And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep

You blamed it all on your kids

We were young, we were innocent

You told me a lie, fuck you for that

Fuck all your pride and fuck all your prayers

And all this time I waited like a fool

Finally I can see you as the leader of the landslide

She left, she left, the writing's on the wall

Please believe me, don't answer when she calls

The only thing I know is that we're in too deep

And maybe when she's dead and gone I'll get some sleep

Out there on my own I was feeling so alone

Like a poltergeist in the afterlife

Fading by degrees, I was shaking in the knees

In the aftermath of this broken glass

Ohh, ohh

Ohh
