The Lawrence Arms are a punk rock trio from Chicago, formed in 1999. The lineup consists of Brendan Kelly (vocals & bass), Chris McCaughan (vocals & guitar), and Neil Hennessy (drums). They have released seven full-length albums and are currently signed to Epitaph. Their music and lyrics exhibit their propensity for juxtaposing references from history and literature with American pop culture. The band takes its name from a building the members resided in (and were later evicted from) called the Lawrence Arms

Verse 1: G Leveling graveling gravelly groans Exude my exhaustion C canonize all my tomes G his home is afloat On a yellow black moat Of bile, hate and quile C And vile pains in my throat D Let's drown in the basement it's filled to the brim C Let's jack up the prices while the pickings are slim

Verse 2: G You all washed through me like debris in a stream You cut me to ribbons C and left me to bleed G Melting alone showing off white bone You can ring that bell or you C can chuck in that stone D On the phone is the voice I've been dying to hear C There's nothing for you better luck next year D When everything was suddenly utterly clear C To shut off these shut outs I'll cut off this ear
Chorus 2: G Can you hear Can you hear Can you hear Can you hear this night? C It's starry starry G Can you see me Can you see me Can you see me mouth out? C sorry Charlie??
