Hammers and strings - live from austin Jack's Mannequin

These hammers and strings
Been following me around
Form a box filled garage
To the dark punk rock clubs
Of one thousand American towns
And my friend calls me up
She says, "How have you been?"
I say, "Dear I've been well
Yeah the money's come in
But I miss you like hell
I still hear you in this old piano"

She says, "Andy I know
That we don't talk at much
But I still hear your ghost
In these old punk rock clubs
Come on write me a song
Give me something to trust
Just promise you won; t let it be
Just the keys that you touch"

"Give me something to believe in
A breath from the breathing
So write it down
I don't think that I'll close my eyes
'Cuz lately I'm not dreaming
So what's the point in sleeping?
It's just that at night I've got nowhere to hide"
So I'll write you a lullaby
