[Verse 1]

You wanna kill time, you must make a mark

Thank your lucky stars that you had a five year head start

Not state of the art

You said he's unwell, you had a bad time

Something about all the stories you read and you write

We're onto dog fights


[Chorus]

I try to keep up with all my senses

They go just as quick as they will come

He speaks of the sick and of the sexes

It's the truth, he says, I'm just having fun


[Verse 2]

You wanna move home before it all sinks

It's happening soon and I'm changing my mind I think

So pour me a drink

You can take what you need and leave the rest

Down for the count whеn you keep going back there again

To meet an old friend


[Chorus]

And it feels likе a death I can't remember

You look so alive out in the west

And maybe I would have sent a letter

If I could have asked for your address


[Bridge]

It's up to my knees, feeling displeased

With all of these bugs feeding and breeding on me

Guess I'm too sweet

I say that I'm well under your spell

The bar is in hell, now I'm skipping down Locust and 12th

To a hotel


[Chorus]

I shake off the chills all through the winter

Immune to the sun I cannot burn

When brothers replace all of the sisters

How will I know what I can't learn?
