Shins, The - Those Bold City Girls текст песни

You Slide out at night to show yourself

you mean to hang yourself on the wall

with the hems you call your friends.

You've memorized a thousand lines and

kissed a thousand guys but none packed

more than wood.



And still you wake up, the taste of the

night before has grown somehow. You

take off your makeup, you're free from

their eyes and all they laugh about.



Sailboats that never float and lids of lead

that hold your ego down. What's it take

to bend the lens? Well as you can see I

really know but I can't amend the trend

towards the rocks wielding the knives

beneath your breast and all the the waves

that never break within our sight. So come on

treat me right.



If you could keep him you'd dub him

"The rock what aced 'em two to one"

but the powder from your empty boxes

was ground from your whole empty youth.

And so you woke up, the taste of the

night before has grown somehow. You

take off your makeup, and you're free

from their eyes and all they laugh about.
