[00:01.21] Lists of swinging fists nobody saw
[00:07.05]
[00:10.42] That were slicing through air at the foot of a stair of a bar
[00:17.43]
[00:20.68] Make beds of busted heads pillowed and puffed
[00:27.48]
[00:30.95] In some quiet and cordoned emergency ward they left us
[00:37.99]
[00:41.03] So we always demurred with an ill-advised word
[00:46.37] From some enemy's ill-equipped tongue
[00:49.92]
[00:51.83] Sizzled and burned at our backs
[00:55.11] So we learned to dodge
[00:57.67]
[01:01.49] I guess we lost
[01:03.33]
[01:07.20] Staring down the cliffs with my crew-cut
[01:12.52]
[01:16.39] I had turned twenty-three and believed I was dangerous
[01:22.86]
[01:27.18] Lists of swinging hips down in the clubs
[01:33.11]
[01:36.56] They were holding their swerve
[01:39.20] I am perfectly sure for us
[01:42.70]
[01:46.55] And a photograph says what a photograph is
[01:51.72] Holy shit were our faces so young
[01:55.33]
[01:56.51] All pissed and thin-lipped as we tippled and tripped
[02:01.27]
[02:01.83] It was fun
[02:02.75]
[02:06.66] Guess we're done
[02:07.93]
[02:12.36] Lies and flying flies sapping our blood
[02:18.10]
[02:21.42] We fall down sliding down slipping slamming the ground
[02:26.33] Cause we're f**ked
[02:28.08]
[02:31.06] So I went down to the mystic
[02:34.38] All head-ached and heart-sick
[02:36.16]
[02:37.20] In line with the beggars and bums
[02:40.28]
[02:41.39] Paid his price and he slurred
[02:43.65]
[02:44.15] My advice is to turn and to run
[02:47.92]
[02:50.68] Well I guess we're dumb
[02:53.57]
[03:16.77] So it's just gather around partygoers
[03:20.70] That's if you're still living
[03:23.26]
[03:26.83] And not wasted washed-up watered down
[03:30.71] And not dead or death-wishing
[03:33.18]
[03:36.96] Those trumpets won't blow
[03:39.23]
[03:40.03] The professional driver got lost
[03:43.94]
[03:44.89] And all of those rulers and priests
[03:48.33] From the highest to least ave been lined up and shot
[03:53.84]
[03:57.48] How I prayed and I hoped it would lead to some moment
[04:02.63] When all of it just flew apart
[04:05.90]
[04:07.55] How I wished and I schemed it from whisper to scream
[04:12.63] How I wanted to just hold your heart
[04:16.27]
[04:17.56] In the palm of my hand and just watch
[04:21.14]
[04:21.64] As it slows and it stops
[04:29.93]
[04:30.48] Call the cops
[04:32.95]
[04:35.31] We're star-crossed
[04:40.64] We've gone numb
[04:43.11]
[04:45.29] Well it was fun
[04:48.27]
[04:50.08] Well I guess we lost
[04:55.23]
[04:55.79] I guess we're done
[04:58.62]
