lyrics

Dressed to nine stranger, no one would know
you’re the loneliest heart in the room
Baby wants nothing but the hunger remains
like the grief of a bastard child might do

And some people say you forget what you’ve got
And take time to breathe, you can learn quite a lot
‘Cause over and over we cry from the top
But you wouldn’t trade down for the common stock

Drowning in precious the punch line just stares
at the fat kid sat eating his hands
Rest a while brother, I think I may know
how I can resurrect us both

And some people say you forget what you’ve got
And take time to breathe, you can learn quite a lot
‘Cause over and over we cry from the top
But you wouldn’t trade down for the common stock
