Song lyrics

Send "The Widow" ringtones to your cell

He’s got fasting black lungs
Made of clove splintered shardes
They’re the kind that will talk
Through a weezing of coughs

And I hear him every night
In every pore
And every time he just makes me warm

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Must I hide?
Cause I’ll never
Never sleep alone

Look at how they flock to him
From an isle of open sores
He knows that the taste is such
Such to die for

And I hear him every night
On every street
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from… 

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I’ll hide  
Cause I’ll never
Never sleep alone
Oh lord

Said I'm
Said I'm
Said I'm
Said I’m bloodshot for sure
Pale runs the ghost
I'm swollen on the shore
Floating on the shore

Everynight
in every pore
The scales that do slither
Deliver me from…

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Then I’ll hide
Cause I’ll never
Never sleep alone

Freeze without an answer
Free from all the shame
Let me die
Cause I'll never
Never Sleep Alone

14 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I heard the Wiltern version of this song when I was looking for live songs to download (just before The Comatorium posted links) and loved it. The CD version is even better, and I love the guitar solo. Excellent song.

154 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i agree... this song stunned me at first. i thought a woman was doing the vocals. i agree with the film clip too... its quite scary and a little yukky. Freaky stuff.

14,084 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal i love this song. it's one of the first i've heard from this band, it's not really my normal taste, but this is GOOD. the video is creepy and heartbreaking and brilliant, and a ton of other nice words. so yes, very good.

5 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal Great new song. Just brilliant, as someone already stated, at first I wasn't sure that I liked it compared to their previous album but then I listened to it more and I just can't resist it anymore

17 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal hmmm... I had a very horrid dream involving this video, only I was in Wal-mart, and I was having a basket-racing contest with Joe Perry. It was really quite disturbing, actually. But at least the song is good. At first I didn't really care for it, but it's grown on me. I think that after they really break out, get a few more singles, they are probably gonna be really big. I just hope they don't get so mainstream that it takes away from the quality of their music. This is a nicely written and performed song.

328 posts	my guess is that they won't lose quality, i mean, they broke up At the Drive-In because they got bored.. and they wanted to improve now they are being very ambicious, and the best of TMV is yet to be heard

27 posts	rhythm melody instruments lyrics vocal I really like this song since the first time I saw it on the Best Buy commercial. And I also thought a girl did the vocals until I went to AOL Music and saw the band. It's the first time i've heard of the band but now it's one of my favorites. My mom likes the song too!!!!! _:_

27 posts	The video is one of my favorites too. It's kind of scary my little brother gets scared when he knows the video's going to come out.
