feat. the one-and-only Porcelain Black
lyrics
Blowin' off yesterday
Maybe she’ll call you tomorrow?
Sitting in a car that you borrowed
Do you really know what you are after?
Happily ever after?
Another bleak empty month in the trash
<you don’t know what – what you’re missing>
<you don’t know what>
An old ass claim to fame
Champion of a video game
Don’t ever hit the gas instead of the brakes
Twenty thousand miles with no mistakes
It’s yet another chapter filled with
A whole lotta nothin’ goin on
I don’t want to be the one who’s missing all the fun
Why so lonely? You so scared - you run, you run, you run
<you don’t know what – what you’re missing>
<you don’t know what – what you’re missing>
hanging on to the short end of the stick
hanging to the things that make you sick
you only get one chance to live
Is this the last exit to Brooklyn?
Is this the last exit to Berlin?
Is this the last exit to Ca-na-da?
I don’t want to be the one who’s missing all the fun
Why so lonely? You so scared - you run, you run, you run
<I’m afraid to leave the house ‘cause I might just meet someone and I really I really can’t stand anybody, anbody getting near me – I’m paranoid, I’m paranoid , I’m freaking out, I’m paranoid, I’m paranoid ,I’m so annoyed that I’m paranoid, I’m freaking out, I’m paranoid>
I don’t want to be the one who’s missing all the fun
Why so lonely? You so scared - you run, you run, you run
You can wake up maybe? Can’t be lazy - sleeping all day long
Even Mary Mary, quite contrary, wants to come long

There’s been talk of an 80s revival of one sort or another since long before the 80s even came to an end. Some long for the angular rhythms … Continue reading Album of the Week: Laminate Pet Animal →
