"Cheap Fantastical Takedown" lyrics

"Cheap Fantastical Takedown"

Let me feel your heart, baby, hear your heart
Tell me that there ain't a damn thing to pay for
A free hazy reckless kind of rundown world
That we walk through, hoping that we find out
That we find our way
As we comically and tragically breakdown
It's all a cheap fantastical takedown

But a good woman's going to see through your plan
And she's gonna love you anyway just because she can
Ah damn

Young love, push and shove, lazy as a daisy
Growing deep into the surface of the city
Never gonna leave, never gonna love
Never gonna fly through the night sky drinking
Thinking maybe we could find out
Maybe find our way
As we comically and tragically breakdown
It's such a cheap fantastical takedown
Is there an elephant in our room?
Honey baby, better get your kicks on soon

Magic man, Peter Pan, floating like an oil slick
Spinning like a dervish on the surface
Bang bang crazy beat your head against the wall
Blame fate, blame the modern state 'cause you can't relate
Here in real time
Is that your only crime?
As we comically and tragically breakdown
It's such a cheap fantastical takedown
Is there an elephant in our room?
Honey to be honest I feel crazy as a nuthouse loon
On a full moon

Let me feel your heart, baby, hear your heart
Tell me that ain't a damn thing to pay for
A free hazy reckless kind of rundown world
That we walk through hoping that we find out
That we find our way
As we comically and tragically breakdown
It's all a cheap fantastical takedown
