Second Best Lyrics

The aftershave
The European cigarettes
The taxi

The empty movements that once were so inspired
Desperate attempts to fan the flame without the fire
[Bridge]
The mattress creaks beneath
The symphony of misery and cum
Still, we lie jerking back and forth
And blurring into one
[Chorus]
