Friday Night Placebo (Shillman Version)

[Verse 1]
Caught me shoegazing like some lo-fi band
A desperate beer in each one of my hands
I’ll dance the night away to prove it’s great
Ten minutes later, repetitive lines
And valencia filters are passing the time, and
The photo’s flash has made my eyes
Appear to be the ghostly kind
But I’ve sunk into music just like the dead sea
I try and go further til' buoyancy floats me
Semi sobriety
An unconscious mess I guess I’ll never be

[Chorus]
That’s fine, I’ll pop sugar pills all night
All night, all night, I’ll pop sugar pills all night

I can’t see a thing in the haze around me
(Ooh, ooh, ahh)
I’m still having fun cause I know I should be
(Ooh, ooh, ahh)
When will I stop being such a dumb kid and go
(Ooh, ooh, ahh)
Wherever real life is?

But why would I lie when I said I won’t?
(Ooh ooh ooh)
I know that I am damned if I do or if I don’t
(Ooh ooh ooh)

That’s fine, as I’ll pop sugar pills all night
All night, all night
Placebo-ing on friday night

[Verse 3]
I’m just a weed growing out of the wall
It’s an obvious secret that’s kept by us all
Tonight, but this will die with me
I’ll bury it deep in my broken phone screen
Alright, till the backlight kills my sight

[Verse 4]
But tell me that funny things don’t go away
And promise we’ll keep being stupid all day
So hey, who needs life anyway?
Let’s stay immature and let's not ever stray

[Chorus]
All right, let’s pop sugar pills all night
All right, all right, let’s pop sugar pills all night

I can’t see a thing in the haze around me
(Ooh, ooh, ahh)
I’m still having fun cause I know I should be
(Ooh, ooh, ahh)
When will I stop being such a dumb kid and go
(Ooh, ooh, ahh)
Wherever real life is?
(Ooh, ooh, ahh)

But why would I lie when I said I won’t?
I know that I am damned if I do or if I don’t

And that’s fine, as I’ll pop sugar pills all night
All night, all night
All right, all right
Placebo-ing on friday night
