On the needle with this gun in your back and there's nothing left to recommend.
|
We split the heart attacks between our families, so the memories won't last.
|
'Cause you've been waiting around to get your mind in the gutter,
|
Hoping late, late nights will mend you.
|
The list isn't long, but temptation gets ugly,
|
So empty out your songs.
|
Long lost, the outside is waiting and you say "I like the way I am".
|
But someday, when the cyclone is over your head,you'll run and hide.
|
Burn the lights and hand me back to the hallway,
|
To a door left of my parents' room.
|
We split the tab between the blatant defenders,
|
But their enemy's long gone.
|
The hour's long in the teeth and the spirits are waning and the airport's lost my name again.
|
Just keep your eyes to the front,
|
The oncoming headlights will empty out your skin.
|
Long lost, the outside is waiting and you say "I like the way I am".
|
But someday, when the cyclone is over your head, you'll run and hide.
|
On the kitchen table there are olive branches everywhere,
|
So pass your burden over here,
|
I'll smile and drink it down.
|
Under the cyclone, there are car accidents and all the passengers scream "no!".
|
There are bouts of disappointment and claims of overacting.
|
Welcome to the interstate between your best friends.
|
If there's a smile then pick it up, dear.
|
If there's a scar then push it deeper.
|
Just learn to hide yourself inside a secret.
|
Back down to the intersection,
|
The fine lines of contradiction.
|
We push for a photograph and just end up with dust.
