The Drop I Hold
Black Lips Lyrics
"We're all ready to go
If you tell us we have to give our lives now, we ready.
I'm pretty sure these brother's are with me."
How it goes
Feel my nose
Like a ghost
I've been close
When I've froze
What a shame
Smoke my brain
Got no name
It's insane
What a game
Pulled by the pain
Will it wane?
Nine times out of ten
Ain't got no money
But the gods make it fuckin' rain
That's how it goes when the drop goes through to your brains
That's how it goes when the drop goes through to your brains
That's how it goes when the drop gets in your face
The drop I hold slows your veins
Witches hair
Truth or dare
Chucks I wear
Rock some Slayer
It's not fair
'Cause I'm gone
Feel so calm
Lasts till dawn
PC ROM
In my palm
Atomic bomb
Vietnam
Black-Lips.com
And Islam
That's how it goes when the drop goes through to your brains
That's how it goes when the drop goes through to your brains
That's how it goes when the drop gets in your face
The drop I hold slows your veins

The Black Lips is a self-described "flower punk" band which formed in Atlanta, Georgia, United States in 2000.
While still teenagers, they formed after guitarist Cole Alexander and bassist Jared Swilley left the Renegades, and guitarist Ben Eberbaugh left the Reruns. Drummer Joe Bradley joined a few months later. They released their first 7" in late 2001/early 2002 on their own Die Slaughterhaus label.
Just days before a tour was to begin in December 2002, Ben Eberbaugh was killed in a car accident after his car was hit by a drunk driver. Read Full BioThe Black Lips is a self-described "flower punk" band which formed in Atlanta, Georgia, United States in 2000.

Just days before a tour was to begin in December 2002, Ben Eberbaugh was killed in a car accident after his car was hit by a drunk driver. The band carried on believing that Eberbaugh would want them to continue.
The band's debut full length album was released on Bomp! Records in 2003. Eberbaugh was replaced by Jack Hines, a friend of the band members, but he too was eventually replaced by current guitarist, and former Renegades member, Ian St. Pe , in 2004.
The Black Lips have a reputation for crazy live shows that have included vomiting, urinating, nudity, band members kissing, fireworks, and a chicken. They have slowly built a fanbase that appreciates their energy and style that is a rough mishmash of blues, rock, doo-wop, country, and punk.
They gained national attention in 2006 with features in Spin and Rolling Stone magazines. The band got exposure in the New York Times for being the hardest working band during the 2007 South by Southwest music festival in Austin, Texas, in which they played a dozen shows over a three-day period.
In September 2007 their most recent album entitled Good Bad Not Evil was released. The Black Lips made their American national television debut in October 2007 on Late Night with Conan O'Brien and played O Katrina.
The band also has songs from previous recording sessions, and they will eventually be released by In The Red Records.
The Black Lips are going to star in a film called Let It Be. They will play musicians in a fictitious '1980s era DIY band called The Renegades. The movie is set for production in 2008.
Cole, Jared and Joe also play in a band called The Spooks, along with members of Deerhunter and The Kiwis. The Spooks have recorded an album which should be released in 2007 or 2008 on the Die Slaughterhaus label. Ian also plays in a blasphemous garage punk band called The Original Three. There is a full length record out on Empty records and a single out on SYA records (Italy). The Original Three will have a new single coming out in December 2007 on Savage records (Sweden). Jared plays in a band called The Gaye Blades. Rob's House Records has released one 7" by The Gaye Blades, and another one should be released before the end of 2007. Cole has also released solo material under the name Old King Cole Younger. There is one split 10" release of his material on Rob's House Records that features Bradford Cox of Deerhunter, under the name of Atlas Sound, on the other side.
In 2009, the band released their fifth album, "200 Million Thousand", on Vice Records.
