lyrics

We drive capillaries every time we move And we fill in dots as we pace across the room
We stretch lines a little too far And they snap us back obliquely to where we start
A angel looks back at the rubble of the past But the wind fill his wings, there’s no chance of going back
Head into the pale, for the sake of the children Kill the good time girl, and let the daylight in

And the Frenchman, up the third floor walk up Is screaming ennui
And the people on the street Don’t know what he means
Still he’ll work for his pay every day
But his mind is back flattening souvenir pennies by the bay

The air was cold, remember that You were wearing something stupid probably that green hat
You saw Cassie with the round face and the hair behind her ear You had fifty cents in your pocket and not an ounce of fear
You spent your lunch on a beveled copy of the golden gate And she didn’t care

Chorus 2:
And remember don’t relapse There’s no chance of coming back
Don’t worry, it’s not fate That’s just the way things feel when you’re too late
We all find the slots of life If you’re lucky, you slide in real nice
It’s like playing a game of pachinko Win or lose, those are some pretty lights

We drag daggers every time we move our feet
And they stab into the people we’ve been lucky to meet
We take what’s giving, pull until there’s scars
Sometimes they split in two cause they’ve stretched too far
A angel looks back at the rubble that he’s made
But he’s pulled backwards, his chance to rebuild starts to fade
Head into the pale, for the children
Kill the good time girl, and let the moonlight in

And the Frenchman, up the third floor walk up
Is screaming ennui
And the people on the street
Don’t know what he means

Still he’ll work for his pay every day
But his mind is back flattening souvenir pennies by the bay
