lyrics

Black jean burn in the summertime
Like the sun woke up just to melt my mind and
A pound of glass in your sisters purse
On the booze soaked pews of a sidewalk church, well
We found the evil in anything
But I’d stay through the storm if you said what you mean and
I won’t let time get ahead of me
But I fall right back when you talk like that

I can’t help myself
I want nothing else
All the birds of prey we know
Have failed to cope

Well we learned that a face could bleed
When your cherub fists rained grace on me and
I didn’t know when I chose to leave
That I’d think of you eternally but
You were the moon on a midnight walk
Or a pilgrimage through city blocks
Was a million plastic plymouth rocks
Enough to keep you occupied babe?

I can’t help myself
I want nothing else
All the birds of prey we know
Have failed to cope

I can’t help myself
I want nothing else
All the birds of prey we know
Have failed to cope
And I’m going home
