is this how good roots grow,
in isolation,
and a part of getting older is
that nobody's close anymore?
well I can't believe in anything
that sounds like a law in the world
but I'll always bite my lip in the same place
in the same way
every day every day every day
I live in the flightpath to a thousand places
there's bridges over bridges and I'm under the exits
the planes fill my ears and I can't hear your voice anymore
anymore
above the roar
above the roar
and here is where I lay me down
with the lie you all knew
and nobody warned me like we won't warn the next girl
and we're all gonna be such good friends
oh I've been a legend too
for the way I behaved
when I was slipping down his stairway
like a finger slips out of a ring
of a ring of a ring
I got a bad reputation that I half deserved
I got a bad reputation, this half is yours
I got a bad reputation, let's make it worse on me
on me
what's still keeping me around here?
and who was holding me down there?
don't know what's keeping me around here
hey who was holding me down there?
who has been sucking on my blood?
who has been sucking on my blood?
who has been sucking on my blood?
who has been sucking all my blood, oh my dear,
who has been sucking on your blood?
