Lyrics for Date Night

Date night Patience I've got no goddamn patience But I tried to shake, shake, shake it up But I shook myself to boredom Best friend I do not like your best friend And all those shades of grey, ah! They turn my blood so cold, cold, cold, cold When it comes around We barely scream or shout Or rarely am I there And neither of us care 'Cause I, I, I, I, I guess we Was born to fail I, I, I, I, I guess we Was born to fail No, no, no you don't Not a-fucking-gain With your rhyme and your reason And your cause Shepherd? You want to be a shepherd? Well good for you Go ahead, your life won't be so tepid But when it comes around We barely scream or shout And rarely am I there And neither of us care 'Cause I, I, I, I, I guess we Was born to fail I, I, I, I, I guess we Was born to fail Yak yak, heart attack Sat in a taxi all clad in black Yak yak, heart attack Sat in a taxi all clad in black I, I, I, I, I never lie easy Work with a migrant crew I work in a menagerie I don't give a fuck about me or you 'Cause I'm so cold I'm so cold I'm so cold I'm so cold 'Cause I, I, I, I, I guess we Was born to fail I, I, I, I, I guess we Was born to fail Yes, no Yes, no Yes, no
