In a car outside, we stalk the idle kind.
if you're leavin' just let me know.
tobacco and peppermint, dustin' for finger prints.
a film in her eyes from the glow.
some rules are made with all intentions to break,
and she defends it with a warped rational.
but I've seen what happens to the wicked and proud
when they decide to try to take on the throne for the crown.

as we learn, as we age, we've learned nothing,
and my body still aches.
and we take 'cause they give, though i love you,
and my body it leaks like a sieve.

when it got cold out side, we smoked beneath the playground lights.
if you're comin' home, just let me know.
suckin' on your breathmints, dissected and stuck with pis.
a film in her eyes from the glow.
concrete and water, shes lookin for her daughter.
at midnight in torrential downpour.
and everything I said about how messed up your head is,
got cut up and left in pieces on the cutting room floor.

as we learn, as we age, we've learned nothing,
and my body still aches.
and we take 'cause they give, though i love you,
and my body it leaks like a sieve.

take the picture from the wall,
when you think that nothing matters,
take a picture from the plane,
'cause it's a long way to the floor.
cut your finger on the edge 'cause it's sharper than they told you.
take a leap from out the window 'cause its way too far to go through the door.
