The Arrogance of the Drunk Pedestrian

[Verse 1]
With the arrogance of the drunk pedestrian
Taxi driver looks down my girlfriend's top
Ask politely if he can be a gentleman
Pulls his aviators down so he doesn't have to stop

[Chorus]
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
Until the metaphors are literal, forced screams are guttural
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
Until the metaphors, until the metaphors

[Bridge]
When I said this was all I had, I meant it

[Verse 2]
And I speak in the tired clichés of a strip club DJ
Marvellous things so quickly get mundane
When you see the scaffolding behind me
And all the dirty air, it always blocks your way

[Chorus]
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
Until the metaphors are literal, forced screams are guttural
And we'll keep on through the shit storm
Until the metaphors, until the metaphors, until the metaphors

[Bridge]
When I said this was all I had, I meant it
When I said this was all I had, I meant it
When you said I was a bad person, I felt it
When I said this was all I had, I meant it
When you said that I had destroyed you
I knew that part of you was trying to destroy me too
When I said that I wanted to die, I meant it
When I said that you saved my life, I meant it

[Outro]
But goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
