Lyrics This Band Is Killing Us - Johnny Foreigner

This Band Is Killing Us

Trip around the house reading atlases at night
How we barely beat the dawn back home
The streets have fallen out but the story’s better told
I don’t know if we’re still talking but I know you talk about me sometimes
Trip around the house reading atlases at night
How we barely beat the dawn back home
Making car trips and memories and dropping out of classes
I don’t know if we’re still talking but I know you talk about me sometimes
I feel the
All the sleep we’ve lost
I was staring at my shoes in a service station carpark when you called
Dedication versus time loss
The righteousness everybody lost
We’re happy but God knows we’re barely holding lives or real jobs
All the attempts, all the gin left
All the blistered fingernail dents we’ve grown
All those broken sticks and strings
We replaced, they’d break, we replaced, they’d break again
On that grateful first night
Between chants and
Maybe I’m exaggerating slightly but not
This band is killing us
