Waxahatchee - Tigers Blood

You come alive in the heat, you ain't crossing state lines
Stood up like a crepe myrtle, can't be killed or denied
Throw a brick through the window, leave your mess at my door
Lord knows sooner or later it'd wash up to shore
Lord knows sooner or later it'd wash up to shore

You're laughing and smiling, drove my Jeep through the mud
And your teeth and your tongue bright red from tiger's blood
We were young for so long, seersuckers of time
Drank someone else's juice, left only the rind
Drank someone else's juice and left only the rind

And I held it like a penny I found
It might bring me something, it might weigh me down
You got every excuse but it's an eerie sound
Oh, when that siren blows, rings out all over town

Named after a city you ain't never seen
Spellbinding copperheads banging a tambourine
And it's the kiss of death, but it's the only way out
Galloped up to the mirror, looked her right in the mouth
Galloped up to the mirror, looked her right in the mouth

I'da skated the surface, I'd left you alone
By now truer words spoken like blood from a stone
And it fills me with dread but I've learned to ignore
The smell of dust that creeps up through the cracks in the floor
The smell of dust it creeps up through the cracks in the floor

And I held it like a penny I found
It might bring me something, it might weigh me down
You got every excuse, but it's an eerie sound
Oh, when that siren blows, rings out all over town
When that siren blows, rings out all over town
