But now it's just a long, long, lonely walk home.
Edgy, wild eyes trying hard to stay strong,
Traversing the streets where the dogs and your old neighbours bark at me
from behind fences that I swear are too small,
I miss the taste of the city asphalt
and I miss the smell of your freshly washed hair,
And I miss the times we slept under bridges,
bummed cigarettes from strangers and no one else mattered
Today my mother flies out to Shanghai
and today my father surely will catch me,
And today my sister will go to school and forget me, I wish I could tell her just how much I cared,
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave,
the only thing that I remember now is your first name,
And those heavy blankets
and that shitty, little plastic fan
and the way you had no idea who I am
verse 2
Everything is a fucking eye strain
and I can't see my legs through the piss and the rain,
And I hope to God that I can still spit, because
fingers crossed our paths will cross again someday,
And the train wires circle the planned out city centre
like vultures coming in for the kill,
Bridge
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
and do nothing with it
I had an affair that lasted the heat wave,
the only thing that I remember now is your first name,
And those heavy blankets
and that shitty, little plastic fan
and the way you had no idea who I am
Outro
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
We're gonna take your money
and do nothing with it
