Lyrics
[Verse 1]
I lie
To myself, I lie down on the breeze
I whisper
Hey breeze, where you going?
Does the wine or the whiskey miss me, no
At night cats get smashed in the snow, I don't mind
We are gathered here today to have a real nice time
Absent friends
Where'd you go?
[Refrain]
Fools rush in but you're the only one with guts
We are family
[Verse 2]
I lie down on the breeze
I whisper
Hey breeze, where you going?
It said, fuck it
I don't need it, religion and rules
I cross my heart and then I hope to die
I go to the park and then I go back home
[Refrain]
Fools rush in but they're the only ones with guts
[Verse 3]
We are now entering a new phase
A priest mistakes me for a priest
Mistakes me for a Houston Rocket, validating snow
Insane intercourse, constant swapping
While I fall asleep inside a bass
I'm counting on my breath to make tunnels
I'm counting on my breath
A British Columbian prayer
No matter when, no matter where, suffer
[Verse 4]
The last time I
The last time I saw Georgie
It was an incredible vision
Cracked alabaster from head to toe
Just this terrible crescendo
Heading towards a conclusion
Dying for a conclusion
Dead ends on Retrospective Street
In love with every person I meet
In love with the Gun Club
[Verse 5]
Mirthless husk floating on an ocean
On the surface of the King of France
Thousand-yard stare stares at the menu and grins
From this angle, in a certain light
All bets are off on every goddamn thing
It's all the same thing under a certain light
Women fill out, men crumble inwards
There, I didn't wanna say it but I did
My life's a giant lid
Closing on an eye
[Verse 6]
It's all the same thing in a certain light
It's all the same thing in a certain light
But we live in the light
It is exquisite, it goes through you
It goes through your legs
God is famous for punishing
[Verse 7]
I burned my boats
I'm staying here in the harbour
I go nowhere
Death by illumination
I want it, I want it, I want it, I want it
In the shop window, illumined like candy
I bought all these people this brandy
