lyrics

When you wake up all alone you know the feeling
When you wake up on the stone you know your dreaming
Feel the snowflakes on your skin down by the water
When you know it’s coming down you’ll bring your daughter

Two purple bags and a trace of fear
Staring at my face in an infinity mirror
I’ve got a cracked windshield and a stain on my shirt
The black grain fields and the wind in the dirt

And I fell into the garbage bin
Black suits the state I’m in
And I once bagged a heroine
From my passion for recycling

Your life strikes 12 and you ask yourself
Just what’s the fucking point of taking care of your health
But come on snap back you’ve got people to feed
You know a moondog pie is whatever you need it to be

Can’t read the traffic sign
Thought my prescription was doing fine
And I fit the description unrefined
Bold letters underlined

And i thought as i was getting dressed
Who am i trying to impress
Signed a contract under duress
Have to settle for second best

Workin for the man for a third of your life
You want to die by the fire but you live by the knife
So pack your steamer trunk and you head for the east
Because the dreamers drunk and he’s feeding the beast

And i want to make a massive change
Stepping off the broken plane
Three layers of air exchanged
Key players re-arranged

So you dream of a massive change
Stepping off a broken plane
Inner workings that you’ll never tame
The rotten apple core that will always remain
So we stop to hear the audience gasp

And i try to keep it critical
But art is inherently political
And i start innocently centripetal
Spin a yarn heretical

Adrenaholic fires that erupt in a flash
Euphoric moments nature never meant to last
But we’re still having a blast

And i stop when i hear the audience gasp
Stunt doubles remove their masks
Take a sip from the communal flask
Aren’t we all having a blast?

Pull the wool over my eyes
I’m not coming back for you
Not coming back for you

Too old to be young and wise
I’m not coming back for you
Not coming back for you
