Lyrics
The List
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
All dressed down to catch a whiff of the buzz
Smells like the death of the last great cause
But you & I we've been through that and that is not our fate
Give my face to the back of your head
Loyal in your shadow
Yeah yeah yeah
Broken accidental stars
Do lawyers have lawyers?
Do landlords have landlords? we're wondering
One more cheap suit in the loop, more chlorine in the pool
The blonde dolls smiling behind us
Say, one day you'll be just like us
All dressed up to catch a glimpse of the list
We've seen some success, it looks like a camero
Broken accidental stars
Do lawyers have lawyers?
Do landlords have landlords? we're wondering
One more cheap suit in the loop, more chlorine in the pool
The blonde dolls smiling behind us
Say, one day you'll be just like us
Calling from the next hotel - can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be- the best haircuts are taken
Calling from the next hotel - can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be- the best haircuts are taken
Calling from the next hotel - can you put me on the list?
Who we are now we will always be
