"The Joneses" lyrics

Hamilton Leithauser & Dominic Lewis Lyrics

"The Joneses"
(from "Your Friends & Neighbors" soundtrack)

A paper shadow in a house of stone
The wooden flag of a drifting dreamboat
I never knew how far the ride was gonna go
Til I looked back at the smoke

You can't keep up with the Joneses
Don't wanna run for the roses
I got my pocket of poses
You can't keep up with the Joneses

Another diamond in the swimming pool
The soft dance like a ghost of some old fool
I never knew how much I never really knew
Until I looked back at you

You can't keep up with the Joneses
Don't want to run for the roses
Don't count the micro doses
You can't keep up with the Joneses

Before the dance there was a song
Before that song there was a spark
I never knew we'd come so far
Sometimes I wonder why
Sometimes I wonder why

I just don't ride with the Joneses
Don't wanna smell their dying roses
I got my pocket full of poses
I don't keep up with the Joneses
