about

About sabotaging your life despite knowing all too well what you should be doing!

lyrics

I'll have a drink for you, you'll have a drink for me,
We'll kick off our blues, come and dance with me,
We're blue baby but we're free

You can never die from what you feel inside,
From your firecracker heart and you feel like blowing up,
You feel like blowing up.

I love you you're beautiful you're happy inside,
You've never been angry and you've never lied,
Ah bullshit can come in the prettiest of forms,
And all drunk white angels love to suck off the devil's horn

I've found another lover but I promise I'll call,
You just wouldn't believe me you wouldn't believe me at all,
I'm so busy at work, my credit's running low,
No matter how deep you sink there's always further you can go,

And I'm an old beached seal I could use the company,
I fucked with my future and now I'm history,
I know there's something there, something deep inside my head,
If I could just find it I'd convince you that life shouldn't be so sad

She likes him to a point but there's always someone more,
Inviting, exciting, who could thrill her little core,
But happiness is boring it's boring my friend,
Because happiness and freedom can not exist inside the one head,

And if your heart's been buzzing into overdrive,
Well it can never really kill you you, can never die,
From waiting too long, from screwing up your life,
I decided not to kiss her because there was too much in her I liked,

I decided not to kiss her because I liked her too much,
I decided not to kiss her because I liked her too much,
I decided not to kiss her because I liked her too much,
I decided not to kiss her because I liked her too much,
I decided not to kiss her because I liked her too much,
You'll see Lucy, you'll see yeah you will see,

And I'm an old beached seal I could use the company,
I fucked with my future and now I'm history,
I know there's something there, something deep inside my head,
To convince you you're beautiful, life shouldn't be so sad
