Blind Melon - Dumptruck Lyrics

stone temple pilots meets jethro tull?

This and Galaxie have always been my favorite Blind Melon songs.

[Verse 1]
New York City soothing my
Itchy, itchy month of May
Time has passed for Ms. Onassis
Decay on display

[Chorus]
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down like she did
And I can't understand why
Something good's got to die, before we miss it

[Verse 2]
Mumbled talk through pigeon park
And Hastings is wasting away
Religiously, they seem to sin
Buy, sell or trade for amens

[Chorus]
I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel like they feel
Hollow body for sound
Trade my coat for a gown

Goodbye 2018

He sounds an awful like Jon Anderson in this song. He was the singer for Yes.

Aguantee blind!!!!

I'm here. 8-10-18..
Wicked tune

ESTA CANCION ES MUY YES, MUY PROGRESIVA, EXCELENTE.

Dumptruck = needle full of heroine 😐

"Dumptruck"

New York City soothing my itchy itchy month of May
Time has passed for Ms. Onassis, decay on display

I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down
I don't want to go down - like she did

And I can't understand why something
good's got to die before we miss it

Mumbled talk through pigeon park
And Hastings is wasting away
religiously they seem to sin
Buy, sell or trade for amens

I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel
I just don't want to feel - like they feel

Hollow body for sound, trade a coat for a gown

Way up in my arms you know
I love you just a little bit more

Raisin' nose down to chin
Smoke after smoke they all trickle in
Anything, for anything, and ending up with nothing

Simple pimpled young man
Sores all over his hands
He's sleeping, not so silently

I'll mop the floors for you all
I'm a fly on the wall
Really big and listening

Burned a hand of a friend of mine
And Bub I know that you could fly a mile high
You told me nothing's ever gonna come between
Nothing's ever gonna come between
Nothing's ever gonna come between

My dumptruck and me

Truly the most underrated song by Shannon Hoon.

Aaaahh, Good old Main and Hastings

Burned a hand of friend of mine

Awesome song!!! Love you Shannon Hoon and BLIND MELON!!!!! Hope you are at PEACE SHANNON!!! We miss you!!! RIP

this song is loaded with drugs...........

You have no clue.... Do a little research....

The song itself isn't about drugs but this whole album was written and recorded during a months long drug binge in New Orleans, well Shannon at least.

Lemonade is possibly the most drug related song they made. Only that song is more about the subsequent withdrawal than the joy of getting spun out.

No it's not.
It's about a drunken bar room brawl he was involved in.

Like that fly on the wall.really big and listening

Flavor Flav

"Nothing's ever  gonna come between my dump truck and me" Yeah, thats why I love this band.

Melissa Jensen same here, like honestly who the fuck comes up with these lyrics? Brilliant

"Trade my gun for a girl..."

Sharik Matroskin crown for a gown

Sharik Matroskin nice guess though

Coat for a gown

BEST Blind Melon song

"Hastings is wasting away"... Brings back fond memories of time spent chillin' and illin' in The Cambie Bar and New Amsterdam Cafe :)

@darkswim14 twenty thiumbs up yo i just thought to make the same comment then looked down you were there

""and I dont understand why, some one good's got to die, before you miss them"!!

no dislikes... lets keep it that way

My favorite Blind Melon tune. Oh yeah, pimusman, Primus Sucks!....................so good!

My favorite Blind Melon tune.

@ColdWinterSun3 My thoughts exactly.....

"I just don't understand why something good's got to die before you miss it." wow.

Those lyrics are awesome. But would you really miss something while it's still around?

We love him because he was cool and would have understood and accepted us.

RELIGOUSLY THEY SEEM TO SIN. BUY SELL AND TRADE FOR AMENS! Love these lyrics. Good song. Half time guitar at the end is cool to. .. NOTHINS EVER GONNA COME BETWEEN NOTHINS EVER GONNA COME BETWEEN.... MY DUMPTRUCK AND ME.... Love this band and shannon hoon.

He was a saint, his voice was so unique, truly one of God's greatest creatures, I know that hes flying miles high

A life so beautiful and so tragic. That is the life of a saint. That is the life of a person who refuses to turn to darkness and instead clings to faith in life, love and his fellow man.
