lyrics

Long night, turn out the signs, we won't sell ourselves anymore
We need a scene, a picture like a dream: a lakeside and country roads
Where you go
Running for your life, like you're ready for a fight
You know we've carried these days on our backs
So don't look back
'Cause it's not necessarily true, this you know,
That where you came is where you belong
No, in some cases all that is wrong

Dirty kids, running to the pier, to see where the mansions float
Skipping stones, skulls and crossbones, kissing as the boats depart
Wherever you are
Keep some parts the same, beautiful and strange, there's some things they can't take away
No matter what they say
We'll be young in our screams, and it's alright to be
We're never gonna work for the man
They can keep it, the money is theirs

Because we are
Beautiful in the that we are
For once without a care, flying through the air
As the lighthouse dims its glare
I can't hardly remember where we've been
And that's all right to me, I swear

So, kid, I heard all your friends were drunk at the wedding tonight
No invite, and for you that's just fine
You're tired of rehearsing your lines
So wave goodbye
Not that anyone will see, just for the shit of it
You know, sometimes we laugh to ourselves
Give them hell
'Cause they said you look like me, just a little less crazy
New to this place and you're angry
Even though we both know that's no way to be...

And you say
Everyone you know's a little more fucked up than they were two years ago
Beautiful in the way that that know...
