DASHBOARD CONFESSIONAL
"Morning Calls"
(Chris Carrabba / Mike Stroud)

Morning calls for pain relief
A line above the step beneath the worst that you could do
And the best that you could hope for is hardly the best
Tepid water, chase the pills with turpentine and chamomile
And don't get cheap with the wine
You need to be up all of the time

Shield your eyes, conceal your lies
And don't blink. Everyone's watching
They'll think you're up to something
They need for you to be everything that they cannot

Morning calls for pain relief
A line above the step beneath the worst that you could do
And the best that you could hope for is hardly the best
Tepid water, chase the pills with turpentine and chamomile
And don't get cheap with the wine
You need to be up all of the time, all of the time

Shield your eyes, conceal your lies
And don't blink. Everyone's watching
They'll think you're up to something
They need for you to be everything that they cannot

And don't blink. Everyone's watching
They'll think you're up to something
They need for you to be everything that they cannot be themselves, be themselves
