Lyrics for One and Done
I was dreaming of you You were in my dreams My old pal looks shaky with a cigarette in his hand Salt and pepper sprinkled on his face and on his head Looks like he might start crying, is it just something that I said? Let's take a walk around the block This fleeting feeling is infinite Around here we've been wondering what tomorrow's gonna sing On the final field recording from the loud Anthropocene I've seen the sparkle of the diamonds on the watch of the emcee It's not keeping time, just shining It's not the first time you said, one and done And oh my god, and oh my god Stood in your prom dress all covered in blood What you sacrificed will never be enough This whole town looks empty but we knew it wouldn't last Behind bulletproof windows they're still wiring the cash Whatever they could scrape up, whatever that they had There's a lot of mouths to feed through this famine This room seems even smaller now than I remember it Hung mirrors on the walls and the ceiling There's no disguising it There's no denying it This little box fits everything there is It's not the first dance you said, one and done And oh my god, baby oh my god Came to the wedding you were looking rough Watch the masochists all celebrating love
