Lyrics

Beanbag Chair

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.

I have spent my life trying to understand

Just how my life lets aware who I am

But it leaves a bitter taste

And feels like such a waste

I am so totally vague

Betray the dark line, see if I care

I loved you when I was young

But no more

So burn down the fireman's fair

Memory plays its tricks on me

In my mind's eye, I claim to see

I'm losing every race I run

Making misery out of fun

So bulldoze the new road they're driving

Slash the beanbag chair

You held me for so very long

But no more

So burn down the fireman's fair

How many type of things do we think we need?

But that doesn't make them true

I'm a little afraid I'm falling far and free

I'll leave that up to you

That's up to you

So won't you find me totally vague

A drain has died, see if I care

I loved you when I was young

But no more

So burn down the fireman's fair

Fireman's fair

Burn down the fireman's fair

Fireman's fair

Burn down the fireman's fair
