One And Done

My old pal looks shaky with a cigarette in his hand

Salt and pepper sprinkled on his face and on his head

Looks like he might start crying, is it just something that I said?

Let’s take a walk around the block

This fleeting feeling is infinite

Around here we’ve been wondering what tomorrow’s going to sing

On the final field recording from the loud Anthropocene

I’ve seen the sparkle of the diamonds on the watch of the emcee

It’s not keeping time, just shining

It’s not the first time you said, one and done

And oh my god

And oh my god

Stood in your prom dress all covered in blood

What you sacrificed will never be enough

This whole town looks empty but we knew it wouldn’t last

Behind bulletproof windows they’re still wiring the cash

Whatever they could scrape up, whatever that they had

There’s a lot of mouths to feed through this famine

This room seems even smaller now than I remember it

Hung mirrors on the walls and the ceiling

There’s no disguising it

There’s no denying it

This little box fits everything there is

It’s not the first dance you said, one and done

And oh my god

Baby oh my god

Came to the wedding you were looking rough

Watch the masochists all celebrating love

Come up!

Come up!
