"Failure Bound" lyrics
"Failure Bound"
Provincial Lolitas sprawling in high heels
Untamed nature dies
Failure-bound and in your eyes
See the prams they push around
Benefits and drugs are found
Sad-eyed, lonely, failure-bound
Ashen-faced skin, failure-bound
And the boys tattooed and jeweled
Failure-bound and muscled
The skin of tragedy, forlorn and dead
Eternal rut with no prospects
I listen to money singing
It's like looking down from long French windows on a provincial town
The slums, the canal, the church is ornate and mad
In the evening sun it is intensely sad
Failure-bound
Failure-bound
Provincial Lolitas sprawling in high heels
Untamed nature dies
Failure-bound, in your eyes
See the prams they push around
Benefits and drugs are found
Sad-eyed, lonely, failure-bound
Ashen-faced skin, failure-bound
And the boys tattooed and jeweled
Failure-bound and muscled
The skin of tragedy, forlorn and dead
Eternal rut with no prospects
I listen to money singing
It's like looking down from long French windows on a provincial town
The slums, the canal, the church is ornate and mad
In the evening sun it is intensely sad
Failure-bound
Failure-bound
Provincial Lolitas sprawling in high heels
Untamed nature dies
Failure-bound and in your eyes
See the prams they push around
Benefits and drugs are found
Sad-eyed, lonely, failure-bound
Ashen-faced skin, and failure-bound
Failure-bound
