Breathing hard in a city park
Hacking air on an industrial lark
Shoutin’ out, “maybe that I shouldn’t drink”
But no one’s here forcing me to quit
I said, ”You never do what I want to do
No you don’t do what I want you to”
I said, ”You never did what I want to do
No you don’t do what I want you to”
I want something great
To let me down
I want some new spark
To come around
To talk until
My tongue falls out
Saying what the fuck
Am I shoutin' about?
Well the flora changed, and the fauna left
Because the trails lead somewhere important
Now I’m pulling grass in between a path
I want it dead, but it’s growing back
I’m breathing fast in the cities last
Noble stab, at an industrial past
I'm shouting out to an empty crowd
I'm nervous I don’t know what I’m talking about
I want something great
To let me down
I want some new spark
To come around
To talk until
My teeth rot out
Saying what the fuck
Am I shoutin' about?
I want something great
To let me down
I want some new spark
To come around
To talk until
My teeth rot out
Saying what the fuck
Am I shoutin' about?
