Trani lyric?

[whitelightrunner]

During the bridge of Trani I believe he says...

"Cops on the call, weeding out the freaks, fingers in the dirt, and hes spittin out his teeth"...

Anyone else?

This is really clear on the Bonnaroo live version.

[caroline, maybe]

that makes a lot of sense, thanks for pointing that out

I have no idea but found this:

Dirty belly of a secret town
Cheap trick hookers are hanging out at the bar in the Greyhound station
And the bare-chested boys are going down on every thing that the momma believes
Pack of smokes and a little bump of cocaine, help you feel not so strange

(Chorus)
Said old Pa, "She don't get off, unless somebody standing near her."
"And she'll shine, once she's crossed the line, cause all tied to the chair."
I said, "Lay it now on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a trani on a ten."

All the bubbas got their heads in a nod,
they don't know what they love or deserve to get
Chances are they tab their worm in a slab,
doesn't even know which fish that he like to bite tonight, ah tonight, tonight, tonight

(Chorus)
Ah maybe tonight
Said old Pa, "She don't get off, unless somebody standing near her."
"And she'll shine, once she's crossed the line, hands all tied to the chair."
I said, “Lay it now on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a trani on a ten."
Comes home on call, isn't that peace,
fingers in the dirt, and he's spitting out his teeth
He's spitting out his teeth

I said, “Lay it on the ground, throw in a white noise sound, like a trani on a ten.” (Repeated)

But then this could be wrong so......

[KingsofNouns]

Gods the only call, but now the priests, fingers in the dirt, and he's spittin out his teeth
dunno

[ockol]

Comes home on call, isn't that peace,
fingers in the dirt, and he's spitting out his teeth
He's spitting out his teeth

i found this.. is the same as lalaloveyou found...

[ILoveTheRazzleKid]

mmm are they official lyrics, or..?

[mystery girl]

if you listen to any of the live versions, you can totally hear that what jerk and whitelightrunner said is correct. plus it makes more sense with the rest of the words to the song

[schooltardy]

Also, I'm pretty sure it's "Oscillating on the ground" not "Lay it on the ground."

[rodeoqueen]

I don't think there are any official lyrics so I think what whitelightrunner is saying is right. You really can hear it on live versions.
And I mean even though you found lots of pages saying the same thing, it's probably just because one guy thought he heard that and sent it to lots of webpages.
Did that make any sense?
oh, and I also agree with the person above me.

[lmd88]

Plus I dont think the sentence "isn't that peace" really makes sense, theyd think out their lyrics better than that...iunno, just a thought.

[mystery girl]

as do i. when you watch trani live you can see that he says "oscillatin'"

[caroline, maybe]

"Cops on the call, weeding out the freaks, fingers in the dirt, and hes spittin out his teeth"

I agree with these lyrics too, they're the only ones that make sense as far as being part of a greater plot

just think about it... a cop is on call, he throws someone on the ground to arrest him (the criminal hits his mouth on the ground) and is spitting out his teeth

[maddog]

the ones i found were the comes home on call... ones cant remember where tho maybe theyr wrong maybe theyr not, it doesnt really matter who cares if u sing the wrong words?

[savageivan]

i agree with whitelightrunner's cops on the call thing

But in the chorus i believe it is
"I was a layin on the ground though it wasn't always sound like a trani on ten." At least that is what he says on the bonnaroo dvd when u put in the computer and run subtitles

[ema2163]

this really clears things up for me !

there doesn't seem to be any official lyrics for y&ym , so it's really hard to find proper ones . some you can just tell are wrong , but have no idea what's right , but whitelightrunner's suggestion totally makes sense . i've always wondered what "fingers in the dirt and he's spittin out his teeth" had to do with the former two lines , but it fits now .

hurrah ! thanks
