Title: Grow Up And Blow Away
Lyrics Grow Up And Blow AwayFlooding the room
To my tune from the womb
To the holiday
There is no holiday
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Needing something to go on
If she weren’t writing in blood
She'd bring him her jokes
A new liver
And a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee-deep in mud
He'd bring her his jokes
He'd get her a typewriter
If this is the life, why does it feel
So good to die today?
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
If this is the life, why does it feel
So good to die today?
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
Nobody knows which street to take
He took the easy way
What was the easy way?
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
She always thought she would not
If she weren’t writing in blood
She'd bring him her jokes
A new liver
And a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee deep in mud
He'd bring her his jokes
He'd get her a typewriter
If this is the life, why does it feel
So good to die today?
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
If this is the life, why does it feel
So good to die today?
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
First double-cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Her body is the baby
If this is the life, why does it feel
So good to die today?
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
If this is the life, why does it feel
So good to die today?
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
(Her body is the baby)
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
(Needs something to go on)
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
(Her body is the baby)
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
(Always thought she would not)
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
(Her body is the baby) |
