Staring At the Stars

Tobacco stains our yellow teeth

And all our fingers and underneath

Our finger nails are glass bone sheets

As we try desperately to sleep

Hearts are saddened, eyes are tired

And all this Red Bull keeps us wired

It gives us wings, it gives us rings

Around our eyes

We put three sugars in our tea

Sit to watch day time TV

And laugh at moms who don't know

Who the father is

And all our girlfriends are long gone

We watch too much internet porn

Who needs love when you've got silicone

And strap-ons?

Beer bloats our spoiled guts

And shit jobs keep us in ruts

And keep us sighing up the whats and ifs

And buts and maybes and

Falling over in the street

It's just a part of every week

When we lie drunkenly

Just staring at the stars

Remember when they were in reach

And all the teachers used to teach

You can do anything

If you put your mind to it

We put our minds to it all

But disappointment crashed the ball

We could have done anything

We just never quite knew it, so...

Tie your scarf on tight

It's to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight

It's to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight

It's to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight

It's to be a cold night
