Lariat Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Only a chariot could carry it across this void
I wouldn't jerry rig or candy coat your Latin kisses

[Bridge]
You're not what you aren't
You aren't what you're not
You got what you want, you want what you got

People look great when they shave
Don't they?

[Verse 2]
We lived on Tennyson and venison and The Grateful Dead
It was Mudhoney summer, Torch of Mystics, Double bummer

[Bridge]
You're not what you aren't
You aren't what you're not
You got what you want, you want what you got
Feels so great in the shade

[Verse 3]
A love like oxygen, so foxy then so terrific now
On a jape I'm returning
Bobby spinning out
I was so messed up
You were drunk and high
Just a rambling wreck
Coming off the breaks to see what was shaking

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 [?]
