lyrics

Red-headed girl, you never walk by
I used to tease, you made me cry
We won’t walk in the rain anymore
These holy ghosts live under my bed

I never dream, am I asleep?
Fucked up again, biblical creep
None of my friends stop anymore
I used to speak beautiful words hey

Look at the birds, they are my family


I gave them warning signs they thought it was hilarious, deliriously drunk off all the lies mama told
They are my enemies a happy family regrets some cigarettes and getting old

These lonely cars fly by my window
I wonder where all of the kids go
Playgrounds all seem broken without them
My lonely town sounds so defeated

God gave me these prayers I repeated


Breathing breathing breathing, He’s still breathing breathing breathing
Sirens speeding speeding speeding, Is he bleeding bleeding bleeding?
Heart stopped beating beating beating God is cheating cheating cheating
Breath receding needing breathing and I’m leaving leaving living

The Distractions are a post-industrial-sludge-ska-metal-punk-flies-on-shit type o' deal. If you play your cards right, you might just figure out what that means some day, kid. We don't play your average dilly-dally rock and roll bullspit. We play that real dilly-dally rock and roll bullspit. And remember, don't leave the oven on!
Love,
Dad
