lyrics

All these late-night rainy trips
Apocalypse ain't the way youth's supposed to be
Our hands are so bored between fags we'll convert just for the rosary
I think every couple of drags I'm rewiring emotionally
Your lipstick tricks, your politics, they have overwhelmed me totally

Watch my girlfriend undo her brassiere
There's no need for stoned confusion or fear
As I down my penultimate beer
And her glazed gaze draws me near

She wants no idol, love or flag
Waves her own handful of cheerful rags
Sitting in her coven
Corseted and body-bagged
She waves her own handful of rags
Slow dissolve or cut to black
I think she means well
She just feels a bit attacked

Scrolling through the old obscene texts from the ex
Bet that you wish he was here tonight
He's just like the sun in that respect
You can't look him straight in the eye
He's a myth made for the sleep-deprived pricks
All of them they just wanna get high
Look at them now, they push their bolted heads back to the blown-open sky

They're at ease with each other in their dreams
All these silences make you just wanna scream
To disturb all the built-up disease
Of these broken phone-screen fiends

Who want no idol, love or flag
Wave their own handful of cheerful rags
Sitting in their coven
Corseted and body-bagged
They want no idol, love or flag
Slow dissolve or cut to black
Yknow I think they mean well
They just feel a bit attached
