My Morning Jacket - Strangulation lyrics

strangulation

I don't wanna feel a thing.

When your hands close tight around my neck,

and force the air that I breathe.

I don't wanna feel a thing.

Yes she was a young girl.

Bout the age of 23.

but somehow the lord never smiled down upon her,

so she flew out on a breeze.

Said: "I don't wanna feel a thing, I don't want to feel a thing."

Sure he was a good kid. But his phone it'd never ring.

He got tired of walkin a tightrope,

needin too much to drink.

So he got on a knee.

"I don't want to feel a thing"

but I know there's someone that loves up above

and want to fix you a dream.

He wants to sit down and think.

He wants to pour you a drink.

And you wont feel a thing. You wont feel a thing.
