about

Words and Music by Reid
from the Lo-Fi Disgrace album

lyrics

If he had the clothes of heaven
Would it make you believe that he was worth forgiving?
When you look him in the eye how it seems
You make dish-rags of his dreams
This twisted show is playing with lives
So look out how you throw those knives
The crowd will laugh at your display
Then get in their cars and they’ll drive away

Girl, come take my hand
We’ll draw a line in this quicksand
We’ll count to five then we’ll nod out together
We won’t say good-bye but we won’t swear forever
‘Cos honey, we’re killing each other
Honey, we’re killing each other

If all of the fight in his body was gone
And he lay in his best on some cold stone
You could live for the scenes that you long for
Not the livid machine I wrote this song for
He’s half in love with your blade in his side
To deliver him from evil and save him from pride
He’s not even scared of the end
He’s only worried that he’ll hurt you again

You could have been the talk of the town
You’d be the high-wire queen who’s been cut down
You could have been the talk of the town
He’d be that daring young prince on the flying trapeze
Who fell for a girl and crashed to his knees
You could have been the talk of the town
You should have been the talk of the town
You’ve been battered and booed but you won’t be a clown
So let’s you and him tear this circus to the ground

Girl, come take my hand
We’ll draw a line in this quicksand
We’ll count to five then we’ll nod out together
We won’t say good-bye but we won’t swear forever
‘Cos honey, we’re killing each other
Honey, we’re killing each other
