Friday Night Placebo - Intellectual

[Verse 1]

Caught me shoegazing like some lo-fi band,

A desperate beer in each one of my hands

I’ll dance the night away to prove it’s great

Ten minutes later, repetitive lines

Valencia filters are passing the time, and

The photo’s flash has made my eyes

Appear to be the ghostly kind

But I’ve sunk into music just like the dead sea

I try and go further til Bowie and sea floats me

Semi sobriety, an unconscious mess I guess I’ll never be

[Pre-Chorus]

That’s fine, I’ll pop sugar pills all night

All night, all night, i’ll pop sugar pills all night

[Chorus]

I can’t see a thing in the haze around me

I’m still having fun cause I know I should be

When will I stop being such a dumb kid and go

Wherever real life is?

[Post-Chorus]

But why would I lie when I said I won’t?

I know that I am damned if I do or if I don’t

That’s fine, as I’ll pop sugar pills all night

All night, all night

Placebo-ing on friday night

[Verse 2]

I’m just a weed growing out of the wall -

It’s an obvious secret that’s kept by us all

Tonight, but this will die with me

I’ll bury it deep in my broken phone screen

Alright, till the backlight kills my sight

But tell me that funny things don’t go away

And just promise we’ll keep being stupid all day

So hey, who needs life anyway?

Let’s stay immature and let's not ever stray
