Les paroles


1. COMBAT BABY

We used to leave the blue lights on, and there was a beat
Ever since you have been gone it's all caffeine-free
Faux punk fatigues. said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
Get no harm done no, none of them want to fight me

Combat baby come back baby
Fight off the lethargy, don't go quietly
Combat baby
Said you would never give up easy
Combat baby come back

Get back in town I wanna paint it black
Wanna get around, easy living crowd so flat
Said it all before
They try to kick it, their feet fall asleep
I want to be wrong but No one here wants to fight me like you do

I try to be so nice, Compromise
Who gets it good? Every mighty mild seventies child
Beats me

How I miss your ranting, do you miss my all time lows?


2. HUSTLE ROSE

Behold the fishnet slut tonight
Hustle Rose goes from limb to limb
Fingertip to painted lip she sways her way up to him

Says, Now that your wallet is all lit up
You're gonna wanna wear it out

If you're looking for something life-like
Hit a sardine nightclub
If every surface you touch is cold, Never go home
He says, I can't feel a thing, my dreams are so tight
Why wouldn't I stand in line tonight?

Now that your wallet is all lit up
You're gonna wanna wear it out

You could throw me a bone

If I get too close you wake me up
remind me softly to go
If I forget won't you wake me up
Remind me not to feel a thing
Keep the dream tight, I can't feel a thing
My dreams are so tight
Why wouldn't I stand in line tonight?


3. THE LIST

All dressed down to catch a whiff of the buzz
Smells like the death of the last great cause
But you & I we’ve been through that and that is not our fate
Give my face to the back of your head
Loyal in your shadow, Broken accidental stars

Do lawyers have lawyers?
Do landlords have landlords? we’re wondering
One more cheap suit in the loop, more chlorine in the pool
The blonde dolls smiling behind us
Say, one day you’ll be just like us

All dressed up to catch a glimpse of the list
We’ve seen some success, it looks like a camero
Broken accidental stars

Calling from the next hotel – can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be- the best haircuts are taken

Who we are now we will always be
