lyrics

GIMME FAILURE

Gimme failure
Why lie awake?
Over thinking
Staying up late

Like the time I saw it
Looking down up in its booth
Like a spectre in the rain
Up there pale and strange
And I’d been making headway
Getting out in front
For it’s all I’d ever wanted
All I’d wanted to become
Some stranger told me
“You and I’ve been fooled”
I said “Well speak for yourself
I don’t dance to those rules”

He said “uh uh I can see how
You’re just like everybody else
It’s just you’re stalling in the right lane
And not wanting any help

You kid yourself you’re noble
Saying ‘Man this ain’t a race’
When you and I we both know
There ain’t no second place”
Oh it’s like the world’s a giant wedding
You sit where you see your name
Be you wild or be you tame

It’s like your conscience is a bride
She takes you into town
She drags you all around
I should have seen it coming
I should have let down my own tyres
Sometimes in the long run
It’s best to cut off what you desire

Then I dreamt I was skating
On the thinnest ice
Paving something new
Digging up my roots
And in this secret country
I was the subject and the king
And I could laugh at my own jokes
Sniff up my own smoke

And I’d been making headway
Getting out in front
For it’s all I’d ever wanted
All I’d wanted to become
It’s like the world’s a giant wedding
You sit where you see your name
Be you wild or be you tame
It’s like your conscience is a bride
She takes you into town
Where she drags you all around
