about

This song is about being in a place where everything around you at all times is anathema to the very core of your soul. Cheery.

lyrics

Outside, the kids are killing braincells
pink polo shirts and dirty mouths
get drunk and fuck, baby leave your cross at the door
jesus don’t love you anymore.

on the table in the morning
cold mozzarella sticks and warm busch lite
it’s so easy to be angry
when you’re dying by fluorescent light

girl breaks your heart? son, have a drink
got a brand new job? well hey, have a drink
it’s tuesday night? well damn, have a drink.
stumble home blind drunk, take a piss in the sink

in the toilet in the morning, everything you don’t wanna see
everybody wants to get to heaven on a technicality

don’t be afraid of love, that’s what the stereo says
but I don’t wanna love someone thinks I’m going to hell
the kids are bending into question marks underneath the weight of the blue blue sky
the dead-eyed boys are dying in their pillows while the girls cry black mascara tears into their smirnoff ice

wake up, feel down
the king is in the kitchen with a half a crown
roads lead, away
but there’s a man with a gun and he looks just like me
sunlight, barbed wire
searchlight towers and machine gun fire
let me pass, let me pass
I gotta get out or leave my blood on the grass
don’t shoot, don’t shoot
my hands sprout leaves and my feet grow roots

if a tree’s transplanted to a hotel
no matter what you do, he ain’t gonna do well
complimentary coffee just stunts his growth
he’s afraid to stay and he’s scared to go
