Undrowned

Lyrics for Undrowned

First, boy, I think you should know If you try hard, then you might get a part as A doe-eyed impressionist mime Bare as the lives of the footballers' wives That surround you, their diamonds aloft A system of pistons archnid and blistered A billboard, a murder of crows While princes fly drones that can see through your bones, and The wind stops, the temperature drops And harpies melt through you like horses to glue I believe you, but not what you say To close in around 'til you're scorched and undrowned They devour you in tottering heels And who wants the Falklands and who wants the Balklands I love you, just like a bank There's so much to talk about, that we don't talk about Boy Trust in me I fell She said, "It fills me with dread The people in Parliament don't know the half of it" "Please, son, it's only a sport The fate of a ball don't enthrall me at all" "So, relax, here, go through it again Who have you seen knows what all of it means?" I fell down, down Then I Saw a billionaire With all his innards nailed To the walls, to the walls, to the west Don't fear it now But don't stop asking Hey, man, you're probably right It's not a galaxy made for a guy like me Birdless, the edge of the world The edge of my memory, some kind of energy Burned up and frittered away Bile in the gutters and gout for a god But I'm lawful, I kept my head down I turned a blind eye and I played my cards right I'm in debt, man, I've waited too long I bought all the right things, I've thought all the right things I'm lonely, I don't know myself I thought there was something, I'm waiting for something Oh, down Down Don't leave Don't leave Don't leave Don't leave me (to the walls, to the walls, to the west) Don't leave Don't let me down
