SCARLETT JOHANSSON LYRICS

“I Don’t Want to Grow Up” - Scarlett Johansson
album: “Anywhere I Lay My Head” (2008)

When I’m lyin’ in my bed at night
I don’t wanna grow up
Nothin’ ever seems
To turn out right
I don’t wanna grow up
How do you move in a world of fog
That’s always changing things
Makes me wish that I could be a dog
When I see the price that you pay
I don’t wanna gow up
I don’t ever wanna be that way
I don’t wanna grow up

Seems like folks turn into things
That they’d never want
The only thing to live for is today
I’m gonna put a hole in my T.V. set
I don’t wanna grow up
Open up the medicine chest
And I don’t wanna grow up
I don’t wanna have to shout it out
I don’t wanna be filled with doubt
I don’t wanna be a good boy scout
I don’t wannt have to learn to count
I don’t wanna have the biggest amount
I don’t wanna grow up

Well, when I see my parents fight
I don’t wanna grow up
They all go out and drinking all night
And I don’t wanna grow up
I’d rather stay here in my room
Nothin’ out there but sad and gloom
I don’t wanna live in a big old tomb
On Grand Street

When I see the 5 o’clock news
I don’t wanna grow up
Comb their hair and shine their shoes
I don’t wanna grow up
Stay around in my old hometown
I don’t wanna put no money down
I don’t wanna get me a big old loan
Work them fingers to the bone
I don’t wanna float a broom
Fall in love and get married then boom
How the hell did it get here so soon
I don’t wanna grow up

SCARLETT JOHANSSON LYRICS

“Green Grass” - Scarlett Johansson
album: “Anywhere I Lay My Head” (2008)

Lay your head
Where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

Come closer don’t be shy
Stand beneath a rainy sky
The moon is over the rise
Think of me as a train goes by

Clear the thistles
And brambles
Whistle ‘Didn’t He Ramble’
Now there’s a bubble of me
And it’s floating in thee

Stand in the shade of me
Things are now made of me
The weather vane will say
It smells like rain today

God took the stars
And he tossed ‘em
Can’t tell the birds
From the blossoms
You’ll never be free of me
He’ll make a tree from me

Don’t say good bye to me
Describe the sky to me
And if the sky falls
Mark my words
We’ll catch mocking birds

Lay your head
Where my heart used to be
Hold the earth above me
Lay down in the green grass
Remember when you loved me

SCARLETT JOHANSSON LYRICS

“Who Are You?” - Scarlett Johansson
album: “Anywhere I Lay My Head” (2008)

They’re lining up
To mad dog your tilta whirl
3 shots for a dollar
Win a real live doll
All the lies that you tell
I believed them so well
Take them back
Take them back
To your red house
For that fearful leap

Into the dark
I did my time
In the jail of your arms
Now Ophelia wants to know
Where she should turn
Tell me
What did you do
What did you
Do the last time?

Why don’t you do that
Go on ahead
And take this the wrong way
Time’s not your friend
Do you cry
Do you pray
Do you wish them away
Do you still leave nothing
But bones in the way
Did you bury the carnival
Lions and all
Excuse me while
I sharpen my nails
And just
Who are you this time?

You look rather tired
(Who drinks from your shoe)
Are you pretending to love
Well, I hear that it pays well
How do your pistol
And your Bible and your
Sleeping pills go?
Are you still
Jumping out of windows
In expensive clothes?

Well I fell in love
With your sailor’s mouth
And your wounded eyes
You better get down on the floor
Don’t you know this is war
Tell me who are you this time?
Tell me who are you this time?

SCARLETT JOHANSSON LYRICS

“Fannin’ Street” - Scarlett Johansson
album: “Anywhere I Lay My Head” (2008)

There’s a crooked street
In Houston town
It’s a well born path
I’ve traveled down
Now there’s ruin in my name
I wish I never got off the train
I wished I’d listened
To the words you said

Don’t go down to Fannin Street
Don’t go down to Fannin Street
Don’t go down to Fannin Street
You’ll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Don’t go down to Fannin Street

Once I held you in my arms
I was sure
But I took that silent stare
Through the guilded door
The desire to have much more
All the glitter and the roar
I know this is where
The sidewalk ends

Don’t go down to Fannin Street
Don’t go down to Fannin Street
Don’t go down to Fannin Street
You’ll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Don’t go down to Fannin Street

When I was young
I thought only of getting out
I said goodbye to my street
Goodbye to my house
Give a man gin, give a man cards
Give an inch he takes a yard
And I rue the day
That I stepped off this train

Don’t go down to Fannin Street
Don’t go down to Fannin Street
Don’t go down to Fannin Street
You’ll be lost and never found
You can never turn around
Don’t go down to Fannin Street

SCARLETT JOHANSSON LYRICS

“Town With No Cheer” - Scarlett Johansson
album: “Anywhere I Lay My Head” (2008)

Well it’s hotter ‘n blazes
And all the long faces
There’ll be no oasis
For a dry local grazier
There’ll be no refreshment
For a thirsty jackaroo
From Melbourne to Adelaide
On the overlander
With newfangled buffet cars
And faster locomotives
The train stopped
In serviceton
Less and less often
There’s nothing sadder
Than a town with no cheer
Voc rail decided the canteen
Was no longer necessary there
No spirits
No bilgewater
And 80 dry locals
And the high noon sun
Beats a hundred and four
There’s a hummingbird
Trapped in a closed
Down shoe store

This tiny victorian rhubarb
Kept the watering hole open
For sixty five years
Now it’s boilin’
In a miserable march 21 st
Wrapped the hills in a blanket
Of patterson’s curse
The train smokes
Down the xylophone
There’ll be no stopping here
All ya can be is thirsty
n a town with no cheer
No bourbon, no branchwater
Though the townspeople here
Fought her vic rail
Decree tooth and nail
Now it’s boilin’
In a miserable march 21 st
Wrapped the hills
In a blanket of patterson’s curse
The train smokes
Down the xylophone
There’ll be no stopping here
All ya can be is thirsty
In a town with no cheer
