lyrics

Put up your hair, free drinks in the air
Put on the red leather jacket that you always wear
We forget our shadows when we learn to dance
To the sound of dreams that shatter before they turn to ash

Someone drew a heart in the window of the bar
The condensation shimmered in the light like a thousand blinking stars
You said "I need someone to complete me"
I said my heart belongs to someone I can't have
You said "Don't you think it's kind of funny
what makes most people happy can make them feel so sad"

You fumbled with your lock & you stumbled through the door
You said "Can you help me with these pants" as you sprawled out on the floor
Most boys prefer you when you're drunk
But I don't want the same things that they want

I don't want throwaway people or counterfeits
I don't want bells & whistles or special effects
I don't want someone clever just give me hope
I don't want someone who's always giving up

I don't know if I'll ever learn but I'm older now
Propped you up & waited till you woke up on your couch
Walked home in the dark feeling like a shrunken head
Severed to survive the curses of the dead
