Brannan, Jay - Everywhere There's Statues Lyrics






I woke up in a coma in someone else's way
Choked on the aroma of a world in decay
Thought I heard laughing as my knees hit the ground
Saw nothing but shadows racing all around

Hey one of these shadows come rescue me
I need a little bit of darkness to protect me from the heat

It's like looking for hay in a stack of hypodermics
Shooting up grey through the cracks in the yellow brick road
And everywhere there's statues with their arms open wide
Surrounded by fences that you, that you can't get inside

Sub-normal people do supernatural things
In a world full of demons with white feathered wings
I feel like I'm open hearted, but it's a broken range we're on
I know I'm not the only one asking where have all the cowboys gone

Can't one of these cowboys come rescue me?
I need a little bit of rope n ride to keep me on my feet

It's like looking for hay in a stack of hypodermics
Shooting up grey through the cracks in the yellow brick road
And everywhere there's statues with their arms open wide
Surrounded by fences that you, that you can't get inside

Face down on the hardwood floor
In one more empty corridor
I'm all alone in these halls
All is fair in love and war
If I can't find an open door
Then I'll start taking out walls
I'm face down on the hardwood floor
And not a soul with which to be
If this craving's one to ignore
Then someone tell me what the fuck a soul is for

I'm looking for hay in a stack of hypodermics
Shooting up grey through the cracks in the yellow brick road
And everywhere there's statues with their arms open wide
Surrounded by fences that you, that you can't get inside
That you can't get inside
That you can't get inside

  1. T.... C....

    you were right

  2. A.... A....

    As always watching your videos I'm amazed at how good you sound with nothing but a guitar. Yours is a true talent and I'm very happy my friend introduced me to your music.
    Hope to see you live if (when!) you come to Europe next time.

  3. p.... ....

    PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO A COVER OF MMMBOP BY HANSON. PLEASE, PLEASE PLEASE.

  4. T.... ....

    This song sounds so great finished on the album, I love it!

  5. C.... O....

    Will this be on the upcoming album?

  6. A.... S....

    I still listen to this often. :)

  7. M.... S....

    Hrmm, was hoping this was on iTunes so I could buy it from you. Loved hearing your "grand ole opry" story. Is this one you are going to put on the store?

  8. S.... ....

    Your voice is so soothing and calming. I love it :)

  9. A.... ....

    This is a great write Jay one of your best Imo but the feel isnt constant between the melody changes. Could be smoother. Im very tempted to cover it but lately Im finding that covering s/s's on here is a waste of time when playing out. Great song.

  10. M.... ....

    I love your music wish i had the cash to fund ya so you could produce more. but keep on singing i'll be listening !!!!

  11. P.... ....

    This song breaks my heart =/ But I simply can't get enough of it!!

  12. S.... B....

    I don't understand why you don't have a billion dollars and a producer by now.... With the fan-base you've already established, you'd be a gold mine for anyone willing to give you a second glance! People are retarded sometimes, I swear. They don't see what's directly in front of them.

  13. A.... N....

    @dumdumsaregood Yes please!!!!

  14. S.... ....

    @oceanwonders Yep. And I was in Victoria for school. FML!

  15. T.... O....

    @SeeThinkFall You do know he was just in Vancouver, right? You were there, right? It was his 4th time here. :)

  16. D.... S....

    i reli want to go to ur concert in dublin...:(..bt i dont think i cn gt the day off work...:(

  17. A.... ....

    everywheres theres statues with thier arms open wide
    surrounded by fences but you cant get inside
    Brilliant

  18. i.... ....

    START POSTING NEW MUSIC ON ITUNES !!! I WANT THIS SONG!

  19. S.... ....

    I don't know if it's a possibility for you at all, but If you ever had a show in Vancouver, I would just about die of happiness

  20. O.... ....

    @jaybrannan Aaaah if I was the most generous and richest person I would buy you you're own studio and everything you needed...but unfortunately...some of the best gestures are only in dreams. I still listen to House Wife and American Idol. I love your music.

  30. E.... F....

  31. R.... ....

    Love the song... but can I steal that mirror in the background for my house?

  32. B.... ....

    "If I can't find an open door than I'll start taking down walls".......you do have a magical way with words....nice song.

  33. A.... ....

    Great stuff Jay!

  34. m.... t....

    if I see you, you take the joke YEAHOOOOOO

  35. J.... n....

    Love the new song Jay!!! hope to hear more soon ^_^....

  36. s.... ....

    It's unfortunate that your best songs are the ones where you tap into some sense of profound loneliness. It's not just that I don't like the idea that you're lonely, but that so many people relate to your songs because they too understand those feelings. That's a big part of the human condition: love and loneliness. You understand both so well that it always bleeds out of your lyrics. This song is no exception. Simply lovely. Thanks.

  37. M.... E....

    @jaybrannan Come to Raleigh-Durham-Chapel Hill, NC Jay, we can get some pretty awesome stuff done in a few weeks and good friends and southern charm! See > Charles Crossingham on iTunes.

  38. A.... M....

    sounds great!!!

  39. C.... B....

    I almost crieeed. So beautiful!

  40. E.... D....

    this is so awesome. count me in for your chicago concert!

  41. c.... c....

    Cutie !
    Hope you come over to Stockholm-Sweden.

  42. t.... ....

    You are one of my favorite!

  43. C.... ....

    God, I love the tone of your voice.

  44. j.... ....

    like nearly all of your songs, this is incredible. your voice, your lyrics - they are beautiful, tragic and inspiring.

  45. y.... ....

    @treeoftears Not literally....just getting old!

  46. C.... ....

    I love when you post new stuff. <3 :-)

  47. G.... V....

    Shadows are the true friends and lovers of good feelings (and music). It's always a pleasure to hear you sing (and tell).

  48. J.... K....

    LOVE. I too would like a new album. Whenever you can afford it. I will wait patiently. Oh, but in the meantime, could you please have shows in Colorado that aren't 21+? That would be great. =]

  49. L.... C....

    A "cure" for loneliness would entail nothing less than a cure for life

  50. N.... Z....

    @jaybrannan o ok brb

  51. e.... ....

    YAY! Awesome new song, Jay!

  52. t.... ....

    @yescandles Do you literally mean your deathbed? :( Or do you mean just getting old?

  53. y.... ....

    I will always love you. Seems so natural for you to have come along as I am making the sheets on my death bed. I am starting to understand why some people hate getting old.

  54. N.... Z....

    hurry up and come out with a new album..tired of listening to ur old ones over and over again.

  55. O.... ....

    awesome !!! really Great ! love it!

    Great job with the lyrics. ---I'm sort of a cowboy. ---I'm just saying... ;)

  81. S.... H....

    Great one, Jay. The lyrics are intense. This was one of your songs where I found myself nodding my head to many of the sentiments. Acoustics are pretty great in that apartment also---too bad you couldn't have had a mini-concert there. Have fun in Prague!

  82. T.... ....

    I like all the metaphors in this song. Nice melody and flow as well :) Hopefully it's available soon to the public.
