[Verse 1]
Preoccupied my temple lobe, this is getting serious, oh no
I want to recognize the progress we have made
Hungover bodyless brown eyes, and her meticulous reprise
From across the ocean, she was finally coming home
[Pre-Chorus]
She said, "Take me far away from this cold place my cheeks are frosted with my tears. And my hands need yours to hold."
[Chorus]
You're making poverty so fun
I wouldn't starve with anyone but you
You perfect actor
Burn with me forever aftеr
Eat the rich and lose our jobs
We'll movе down south till the arctic thaws
I pray that in the end, it hurts
Cause that means we tried to make this work
[Verse 2]
"Stop!
Now breath, and hold it in. And let it out
Everything is gonna be fine"
Each time I tell you I'm terrified, I'll finally be wrong
And you'll stop eating, or sleeping, or end up too far gone
[Pre-Chorus 2]
And I'll say "Honey, please remember that your loved more than you'll ever truly know. You've got your family and friends."
She'll say "Baby, come September we'll be somewhere better for both you and me."
We're both lying through our teeth
[Chorus 2]
Without foundries or the shops
Without preachers or the cops
We’ll build a brave new life right here
Without shame or unabashed fear
Free the slaves and burn the bridges
Ignite billionaires like witches
Occupy the country clubs
They'll never find us just because
[Bridge]
My head's in the clouds. I liked it better when I was back on the ground
Our heads in the clouds. One day we'll find a place that we can call ours
We'll come crawling back to Mom and Dad, we'll sell all items that we've ever had
And use the cash to get stoned
We'll tear apart our neighborhoods, the trees will burn, and walls crumble to soot
We'll make it beautiful for once
[Chorus 3]
Green pastors dry up in the sun, Hekla won’t wait for everyone to migrate high into the stars or shut it like a mason jar
Save the kids, and save the money
Burn the flags to disband the army
The night the volcanos blew, I'm glad that I was sleeping next to you
