The Drip

[Intro]
Your attention for a moment
Your attention for a moment

[Verse 1]
It was a dirty grey day, there was a constant drizzle
As we drank Lucozade, though it was not artisanal
Just a fizzling of orange, the drip inside of me
My friend was walking 'round in bare feet 'cause he's started to use
He says there's nothing more tragic than a dead person's shoes
Now he's wearing the crown in his own cashmere shanty town
Oh, you always were the clown

[Pre-Chorus]
Now, sinking in a puddle on the side of the road
They thought it was a rock, but found it was a rose
A little too late little, little too late, darling
We’re on the drip, I guess you were always

[Chorus]
Breaking habits, now there he goes
The cat that I can't feed
Make me happy, but not for long
'Cause patterns only keep
Your attention for a little while
Your attention for a little while

[Verse 2]
The third time your alarm went off, I just left you snoring
For a little while, 'cause getting up again would be boring
For a dirty grey day, for a bubble in my tea
And I've been thinking how your demons are affecting your health
And maybe if I leave you sleeping when you're punching yourself
You might just fight them all off, and we can fall right back in love
Oh, the drip inside of us

[Pre-Chorus]
Now sinking in the puddle on the side on the road
He swore it was the Rockefellers, now he's a ghost
A little too late, too late for us, darling
We're on the drip, I guess it gets harder

[Chorus]
Breaking habits, now there he goes
The rose that I can't keep
Make me happy, but not for long
The drip inside of me
Boy, you make me happy, but if you go
I'd still be glad that I had
Your attention for a little while
Your attention for a little while

[Bridge]
We're home, we're hosed
The patterns, they run deep
I gotta learn to let go
Of roses I can't keep

[Chorus]
Breaking habits, now there he goes
The cat that I can't feed
Make me happy, but not for long
The drip inside of me
Boy, you make me happy, but if you go
I'd still be glad that I had
Your attention for a moment
Your attention for a moment
