lyrics

Off Argyle with a half-cut smile
And you’re hearing played out some Jeremy Kyle
See all the toilets defiled in a shop complex
And they’re too run down to imagine what’s next
You know the x-ray specs show it’s all a mess
But on the surface so earnest you’d think she earned it
The pain, brain-drained, racking up cocaine,
Filling the lungs, feeling less young, chain smoking

Love-struck, distrustful of every fool she meets
Punch drunken, ship-sunken, happiness with a key
The doors unlock when the heartbreak stops
But the boat’s all rocked cause the sea’s too rough
He demands respect (demands respect)
He never earned it (he never earned it)
There’s a lesson there (listen now)
She'll never learn it (she'll never learn it)

So the story goes
Here we go

It’s divine just killing time,
I’m a wind-up toy telling wrong from right
These friends of mine don’t fit the vibe
Writing the story to my boring purgatory
It’s divine just killing time
I’m a wind-up toy telling wrong from right
These friends of mine don’t fit the vibe
Writing the story to my…

Traffic lights won’t stop me
Pour me a double shot of whisky
So I can start my night so right (so right), so right (so right)
Four corners they’re gonna warn ya
That these memories disappear
When I’ve dropped off all my gear
Wheel; tryna steer, the way ain’t clear
The fear (fear), fear (fear), fear (fear), fear
My dear all you cry is crocodile tears

So the story goes
Here we go

It’s divine just killing time
I’m a wind-up toy telling wrong from right
These friends of mine don’t fit the vibe
Writing the story to my boring purgatory

It’s divine just killing time
I’m a wind-up toy telling wrong from right
These friends of mine don’t fit the vibe
Writing the story to my boring purgatory
It’s divine just killing time
I’m a wind-up toy telling wrong from right
These friends of mine don’t fit the vibe
Bye, bye, bye, bye
