Frightened Rabbit - FootShooter Lyrics






Well, the booze in my blood
runs fast and loud
and my brain shouts
down to my mouth
say whatever i think
say it at him

and when the dam bursts open
and you're drowned out, boy
better go outside, sit in your boat
and wait
'til you get washed away

hold onto your thumbs
tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh
lock up your ears, my dear,
i'm verbal when i am loaded
duck under that desk,
cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh
thicken your skin as i begin
to shoot myself in the foot again

and as the body succumbs
and my mouth goes numb
i limp out to the sound
of the breaking of broken toes
a vandal spoke

and in the stark and the sobering
dry sunlight
i will blink my eyes and
hope the blink can erase
all the shit that i said
and did

hold onto your thumbs
tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh
lock up your ears, my dear,
i'm verbal when i am loaded
duck under that desk,
cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh
thicken your skin as i begin
to shoot myself in the foot again

and if i shoot at you,
you should shoot at me, too
and we can drown in pools
of the thick dark words we threw
and as my face turns white
i apologize
i am sorry
it's not your fault
its mine

hold onto your thumbs
tighten your eyelids, uh-uh, uhuh
lock up your ears, my dear,
i'm verbal when i am loaded
duck under that desk,
cover your neck, uh-uh uh-uuuh
thicken your skin as i begin
to shoot myself in the foot again

    That nite at the caves will go with me tae my grave.......the greatest ever.......all the shit that i said........fuckin heartbroken scott........rip mate💙❤music now brother.......

  8. J.... F....

    My favourite song, too. The cadence more than anything. Hard to sing. And we've all talked shit. I think this band's songs are very much underrated.

  9. A.... M....

    One of my favourite songs. RIP Scott. You were much loved.

  10. S.... ....

    This song has, since its release, reminded me of my alcoholic and violently abusive father who, on a weekly basis, beat the shit out of my and my siblings mother, except he never gave her warnings to cover or hide or shoot at him or EVER apologised. This song is beautiful.

  11. S.... ....

    I’ve adored song for years and am surprised it hasn’t received the recognition it deserves, since it is fucking brilliant.

  12. A.... H....

    By the way, the lyrics you have listed are way fucked up.

  13. M.... M....

    Please dont tell me I'm the only one who thinks this sounds like Terrible Love by The National...

    M.... M....

    @Michelle Malate I won't tell you that this sounds like Terrible Love by The National, but I will tell you that Terrible Love by the National sounds like this.

    The release on both albums were only months apart, but The Winter Of Mixed Drinks was in fact, released first. Sorry to burst your bubble.


    By the way, I love The National; so don't get the wrong idea.

    M.... M....

    @Alexander Herbst Ahhhhh I didn't think The Winter Of Mixed Drinks came out first, but now that you've pointed it out I must admit that I actually thought Terrible Love sounds like this, but since The National's been around longer than Frightened Rabbit, I assumed High Violet's been out way before The Winter Of Mixed Drinks. So thanks. I love both albums equally. Great bands.

    M.... M....

    @Michelle Malate That's ok! They definitely share some of the same sounds, hence why they've toured together lol

    M.... M....

    It's so surreal reading this now, knowing that Matt from The National was such a big part of POAPA 💗 Both amazing bands.

  14. A.... M....

    Hold onto your thumbs, tighten your eye lids
    Lock up your ears my dear I'm verbal, when I am loaded
    Duck under that desk, cover your neck
    Thicken your skin as I begin to shoot myself in the foot again

    A.... M....

    Right???

  15. T.... 2....

    Found this song on slacker radio, awesome!

  16. E.... ....

    Your mother is wrong. Ooooo. What? What? :o
    Mcccch siddown.

  17. p.... v....

    Their best song. Warm embrace.

  18. h.... ....

    can't wait for the new one, but, these guys are still amazing

  19. B.... F....

    I saw these guys a few months ago. I've loved these guys for a while. 'Can't wait to see with these guys do next!

  20. S.... M....

    Just, beautiful..

  21. S.... ....

    They sound a bit like Counting Crows.

  22. C.... V....

    My favorite song from the album. So many different things run through my mind when I listen to this.
