lyrics

I go down on you
And taste your blood
Eat your ass
Baby that’s love

Megaclang
Iggy Pop
Strange prisoners
Playing ping pong with a cop
(at a party)

At a party
Was it Wisconsin?
We traded handcuffs
for a shot of gin

We cuffed McKeen
To a riser
Before the cop left
Let us all try the breathalyzer

Did I fail
Did I pass
It depends on who you ask

Faking a feeling
To face the day
More than the dull ache
That just won’t go away

Call me selfish
Or you don’t understand
But it’s all there in the songs
Or weren’t you in that band?


Faking a feeling
Till I make it to grace
Not this fucking wreck
That’s taken my place

Yeah that’s Bright Eyes
When I was 16
Music was my saviour
It was everything

Did I fail
Did I pass
It depends on who you ask

Something stopped in her eyes, (that night by the fire)
In her eyes
In November she left you entirely (broken. Back to your parents house)

There is an emptiness
I cannot place
Inside a memory
Left barely a trace

There is an emptiness
I cannot place
Inside a memory
Where all love fades
