lyrics

Drunk and lonely sleep together
It smells like winter inside my room
In between the coming and going
We stretched out upon the old grandma couch
Remember the one with the puke green cushions
We used to huff there it used to be fun
I can't fathom or wholly understand
The world that existed before I was born

And I can't fathom or wholly understand
The world that existed before I was born
In between the coming and going
We stretched out upon the old grandma couch
Remember the one with the puke green cushions
We used to smoke crack there it used to be fun
What I can't fathom or wholly understand
The world that existed before I was born

My friend Bill, he left the States
To find a love he once misplaced
He went to France, he went to Spain
And every town appeared the same
And every girl he took to bed
Had lips and hair and eyes of red
And after he would sign the check
They'd kiss his cheek and wring his neck
That sucker found his brand of love
Was nothing more than fuck and shrug

All in all it's not so bad
To give up on the plans we had
To see your life going the way
Of folks you used to hate
Just look to the tree to see who you're going to be
No way

Drunk and lonely are back together
One for better, one for worse
The sounds of chaos ring so loud
They really just sound like nothing at all
If I could, I'd hop on my bike
And ride to Kiribati, ok
I'd take off my boots and take off my socks
And stand at the edge of tomorrow and today

But all in all it's not so bad
To give up on the plans we had
To see your life going the way
Of folks you used to hate
Just look to the tree to see who you're going to be
No way
