"St. Ides Heaven" lyrics
"St. Ides Heaven"
Everything is exactly right
When I walk around here drunk every night
With an open container from 7-11
In St. Ides heaven
I've been out haunting the neighborhood
And everybody can see I'm no good
When I'm walking out between parked cars
With my head full of stars
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
You think you know what brings me down
That I want those things you could never allow
You see me smiling, you think it's a frown
Turned upside down
'Cause everyone is a fucking pro
And they all got answers from trouble they've known
And they all got to say what you should and shouldn't do
Though they don't have a clue
High on amphetamines
The moon is a light bulb breaking
It'll go around with anyone
But it won't come down for anyone
And I won't come down for anyone
Thanks to Kristin for adding these lyrics.

Bright Eyes - "Something Vague" Now and again it seems worse than it is,
But mostly the view is accurate.
You see your breath in the air as you'll climb up the stairs
To that coffin you call your apartment.
And you sink in...
Big Thief - "Simulation Swarm" I tried to tell you
I didn't know how to stay
You believe she can see through
Cutting at the silent clay
A relief, beckon deep blue
Fettered in the magnet sun
Eat the gun as it feeds you
Spitting up...
Daniel Johnston - "Life In Vain" Don't wanna be free of hope
And I'm at the end of my rope
It's so tough just to be alive
When I feel like the living dead
I'm givin' it up so plain
I'm living my life in vain
And where am I going...
