Lyrics

I seen you stumble outta Downtown Courthouse With the sunlight in your eye As the sidewalk melted by And your meter read "0-0-0-0" All summer we been hangin round your house Drinkin syrup with percoset As the whole neighborhood gets wet Thats when you turned to me and said "Woah, god damnit I'm from another planet And all my friends dead or fucked up and damaged And I don't see us flying fast enough to break free" I said "Darlin, this world ain't for us, no We ain't made for the good life No champagne when the doves fly We don't makะต it to midnight" I said "Baby, this one is a bust We got pain like a rip tidะต We were lame from the start line And our flames gonna burn bright, but... We don't make it to midnight" I seen you back with your deadbeat boyfriend Takin blues like Buddy Guy While he blackens up your eye And the choir sings "No-o-o-o" Benner Projects flooded last weekend Now the hallway stinks like mold And this towns so freezing cold So, to say goodbye, I wrote... "Woah lil sister Won't nobody miss you Never held down but too heavy to lift up And I don't see us findin half the love that they need... You know, darlin, this world ain't for us No, we ain't made for the good life No champagne when the doves fly We don't make it to midnight I said there ain't nobody to trust We're just babes for the meat grind Hide your pain on the inside Shout your name to the moonlight, cause We don't make it to Where they all go when they grow up to be The voices we hear and the faces we see When we're up til 5 AM watching TV Cause life makes it so hard to sleep This poor population fixated on wealth This lost generation devouring itself Obsessed with its fitness, ignoring its health And playin the hand we were dealt You know darlin this world ain't for us We ain't made for the good life No champagne when the doves fly We don't make it to midnight" And I said "Baby this one is a bust We got pain like a rip tide We were lame from the start line And our flames gonna burn bright, but We don't make it to"
