lyrics

Jane looks up, it’s nearly dawn
Grin is fixed, her skin is drawn
She lets him finish, feeling nothing at all

David’s bored, his secret chord,
The sling that slew the giant before
Dangles useless by his boots in the hall
Another notch, another night up the wall
Is that all?

Another song, the night is long
What could possibly go wrong?
Turn it on, tune out and scribble your scrawl

Just a cheap line, she says she’s fine,
It’ll be different this time
Knowing nothing really changes at all
Beat yourself up and you’re climbing the walls
What’s it for?

Father please
Don’t wanna live life on repeat
On our knees
And in the dark we can’t see
The way the wheels turn
The world is burning round our feet
Still we can’t accept the heat

The bitter taste, of bitumen,
We buy the lies of bitter men,hnj
Should know better, but we swallow them all

We’re tarred the same, always game,
We burn the midnight oil again,
Scrap and scrape the bag and barrel for more
Stick our heads in sand to settle the score
What’s it for?

Father please
Don’t wanna live life on repeat
On our knees
And in the dark we can’t see
The way the wheels turn
The world is burning round our feet
Still we can’t accept the heat
