lyrics
Crestfallen, lover, I am, dressed in my Sunday clothes
Brand new, for you
I called Soapy Sanderson, promised to trade my innocence
For truth, for you
You swore to the sun and the stars to be the best of what you are
Complete, set free
Sit down my lover on the lam, betray your wealth and all your plans
For hope, tomorrow
We'l mourn forever, live tonight
Get lost, get even, start a fight
Against the man, the daytime news
Your pretty existential blues
Childish and careless, I am, self-obsessed and selfish and
You know, it shows
I called Soapy Sanderson, promised to trade cowardice in
For truth, for you
I swore the the sun and the moon, I'd pay them a visit soon
For tea, sweet dreams
Be young, my children, who you are is all but written in the stars
You're hope, tomorrow
We'll live forever, save tonight
We'll dream forever, be alright
Get lost, get even, keeping score
Forget tomorrow nevermore
We'll pay the piper, cease the day
There's more to fight for, more to save
We'll fight the man, the evening news
Our ugly existential blues
