| Apologies, Comrade CBE if you’d been saving that bottle of gin
|
| Or if a dozen road-weary boys on your floor’s not a special occasion
|
| See, Australian «Cops» was a touch overbearing and the dawn was shining right
|
| in my eyes
|
| The fires of thirst, they ain’t easily quenched
|
| But goddamn if we didn’t have to try
|
| There’s a line between being spread thin, it seems
|
| And just being distant. |
| Discarded or scattered
|
| This machine kills my bad dreams. |
| Have no trouble sleeping, just skip sleep a
|
| bit better
|
| Spin something I ain’t heard before
|
| And I’ll drink along like I know every word
|
| Find comfort in patterns, disquiet in the static
|
| Hope we dig deeper than ground floors or aesthetics
|
| Spin this web of a family too close to be so far apart
|
| But you can drive all night to the tune of «Brighter Lights» and never once
|
| notice the dark
|
| There’s a line between being spread thin, it seems
|
| And just being distant. |
| Discarded or scattered
|
| Cymbal bleed. |
| Bathroom stalls and keys
|
| Still no worse for worn-out, wasted or battered
|
| This machine kills my bad dreams
|
| Have no trouble sleeping, just skip sleep a bit better |
