"Girls Like Status" lyrics
"Girls Like Status"
He was drawn-up in the dark up in Penetration Park
He says he's got your medication
She was sitting on the edges of his vision trying to start a revolution
But he's done with all the parties, he's covered in contusions
Your laugh leaves laugh lines, your love leaves bright bruises
She said she was cruising but she came back all proud and out of focus with a cool car crankin' Krokus.
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
There are so many nights where this is just how it happens
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
He was dreadlocked in the dorms in the Colorado corn
He says he's got your vegetation
She was sitting on the edge of the bed smoking trying to reach emancipation
And he's done with DVDs, he's fully entertained
He's bleaching out the blood stains, he's got diamonds in the drain
She said that she was coming but she mostly just made hard fast noises
It kind of sounded like The Locust
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
There are so many nights where this is just how it happens
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
It was song number three on John's last CD,
"I'm going to make it through this year if it kills me"
And it almost killed me
And song number four on that first D4, you want the scars but you don't want the war
That's just hardcore
These kids are clever to the core
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Guys go for looks, girls go for status
Guys go for looks, girls go for status

And two chicks in the parking lot
Crack wise on the price of fame
They stood to gain
The phonebook's been ripped off
And two shapes in the dark
Across the way...
Built To Spill - "Goin' Against Your Mind" People think when you don't understand
What it takes to wanna be a man
I don't care much for that
I don't know why
Just a fight or just a waste of time
Hiding things that no one wants to find

Cloud Nothings - "Wasted Days" Oh I know
My life's not gonna change
And I live
Through all these wasted days
Never thought
That I'd end up this way
And I know
It's gonna stay the same
I thought I would be more than this
I thought...
Brian Fallon - "Rosemary" I heard you say you don't feel right
Somethin' must've changed inside
She said, "I still love the bands and the boy down the street
But everybody else gives me the creeps"
And there's a hole in you...

Fitzy and Chris are very far away
Sean, Ian and Rick are in Michigan
And we try to see each other whenever we can
But there's only so many...
