Didn’t they not stop? Didn’t they not say? Didn’t they not come To take you away? Didn’t they try to tell you? Didn’t they try to play? Didn’t they come round With something to say? You’re shone madly upon Much further gone Down the death trip you’re on Shone wildly upon Much further gone Down the death trip you’re on Didn’t they try to tell you? Didn’t they try to play? Didn’t they come round With something to say?

Este 02:27
That wit’s gonna cut your wrist Okay, you could go down like this We’re all broke ’til we get that fixed Este, you are the one I’ll miss That’s wit’s gonna slit your wrist Why are you going out like this? Ate one, too, but they’re three and six Este, you are the one I miss

Little things that got a witch in trouble Born bad in a backstreet serenade Tell it to the moon But it left your lips too soon There’s a broken home But someone’s got it made Witching only got a girl in trouble Drank your dreams in blackthorn lemonade Mistimed it by the moon Mixed her midnight up with noon When the founder Went and lost it in the fade

Some disconnection You don’t know where you’re going You been moving up slowly And you’re mine sometimes You stay out late Love made me wait The misconception That you’re right sometimes Some disconnection You get God on your side Filling five empty pockets Picking locks sometimes You stand up straight Don’t make me wait The misconception That I’m right sometimes Some disconnect Some disconnection…

You let the maximum see you You let the maximum see you I let the minimum set I let the minimum set… You let the maximum… You let the lexicon save you You let the lexicon save you I got the dictionary wet I got the dictionary wet… You let the lexicon… You hunt with classified circles You hunt with classified circles I’m in, the older you get I’m in, the older you get You hunt with classified…

France might fall Down the holes in my memory We are fixed We are grown But I’d much rather play ‘Cept most people say Different Friends I found In the holes of my memory We’re all stuck We’re all old And we’d much rather play ‘Cept most people say Different Feel I’ll fool All the holes in my memory They’re not true They’re not law So they’d much rather play ‘Cept most people say Different

Weakened by kryptonite Choked of the oxygen Stuck in the claws Of the noonday demon again Numbed by the factory floor Blind by the halogen Stuck in the jaws Of the noonday demon again I would swap the way I feel I would swap the way I feel I would swap this way For anything Blocked from the sunny rays Burned by the bestest friend Stuck in the grip Of the noonday demon again All of me’s muddled up Nine of my total ten Stuck in the sway Of the noonday demon again

First ever line I’m not your man You saw a sign That said you can Beaten before My time began But it’s wrong So wrong… I been stealing Anything I can Feel like an extra Anywhere I am Your blind drunk driving Was a better plan But it’s wrong So wrong… First ever line I’m not your man You saw the sign That said you can Beaten before My time began And it’s wrong So wrong… I been stealing Everything I can Feel like an extra Everywhere I am High high wire walking Was a better plan But I’m wrong So wrong…

30 Years 01:57
Thirty years We washed away Now and then I’m here today Mister Jones You may well fear Something bad’s Been happening here Room to quit Your quiet row José Jones I’m no good to you now Here we are I don’t know how Nathan Jones You’re nowhere for me now

Up to no good with a wax inspector Study comics with a wet collector… Went to college with a fool injector No plain sailing in the pirate sector... Make your mind up with a night reflector Relationships with a love neglector… Deadly silence with an ape ejector Looking forward with a death expector…
