No Destruction Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I'm sending you this photograph
Of me in my new car
But I hate to say I miss you
'Cause you don't need me anymore

You politely say, "I miss you"
But we know you don’t mean that anymore
Like when the doctor thought he caught you
Then you weaseled through the door

[Pre-Chorus]
Through the door of consciousness

San Francisco
Oh, you think it's over
Oh, you think it's over to me
Someone who smokes pot in the subway
Pot in the subway with me

Oh, Destructo
You're so destructive
Oh, you so destructive to me

[Chorus]
No destruction in the waking hour (In the waking hour)
No destruction in the waking wind
No destruction in the waking hour (In the waking hour)
There's no corruption in the waking wind, ahh
[Verse 2]
I’m talking to my grandma
Who lost her arms in the war

The aliens and armory
That bombed her cigar store

Now you think that I don't know
But I know you two know quite well
That I caught you sipping milkshakes
In the parlor of the hotel


There's no need to be an asshole
You're not in Brooklyn anymore

You may take what you are given
But you leave it on the floor


And I know you're gonna try to take my big mouse
Take the panels off my greenhouse

[Pre-Chorus]
Oh, but the door of consciousness isn't open anymore
Oh, you think it's over
Oh, you think it's over to me
Someone who smokes pot in the subway
Pot in the subway with me
Oh, Destructo
You're so destructive
Oh, you so destructive to me

[Chorus]
No destruction in the waking hour (In the waking hour)
No destruction in the waking wind, ahh
There's no destruction in the waking hour (In the waking hour)
There's no corruption on the mountain, ahh

No destruction in the waking hour (In the waking hour)
No destruction in the waking wind, ahh
No destruction, no destruction
There's no destruction in the waking wind, oh

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
