lyrics

I took all the time it takes
On an ever extended break
Just to find that I'm half awake
When I'm alone

Cause we walked when we should've ran
Tripped and fell when we tried to stand
Shook it off and got in the van
And hit the road

Cash and ego aside, just try and try to stay bonafide

So run sucker run
Get your head on straight
Stay gone for however long it takes
Just point and aim for the sound it makes
Hummin in the gun
So run sucker run, run sucker run, run sucker run away
run sucker run, run sucker run,run sucker run away

Off all of the things I feared
I would miss as the ending neared
To my trapeze artist career I didn't know
That the years spent above the lights
Made me grow so afraid of heights
That it keeps me awake at night and leads me home

Counting backwards from the balcony
The drifters sleep alone tonight, despite an honest try
I tried to keep it for the life of me
But now it's gone, now it's gone

I've followed Matt since I first discovered the Pink Spiders back in 2006. I have to say, I've been impressed with every album I've heard that he's been part of. This one is no exception. Love every song on it. little_razorblade
