The evening is still so young in spite of all it's withering
This evening is so very young in spite of all it's wrinkling
so we stretch and we grow wiser with each new seasons spots and strip
So I wore my tallest shoes. Now I'm eye to eye with you.
In the cold room you can't walk up on me. I own this even-ing.
The girl next door is likely to come by one of these nights,
The Girl across the way has a lovely blackening around the eyes.
so we expand and we grow wider in our new black and our classic whites.
So I wore my tallest shoes. Now I'm eye to eye with you.
In the cold room you can't walk up on me. I own this even-ing.
I won this town. I own it from the underpants on down.
I love the veiux from here from beneath your stares
I love to get under your skin and tangled in your hair
I crawl under your doors and punt the filth around your floors.
I hear the dirty words you just suppose exist and cannot quite ignore
So when we get our shots our shots are going to take like birthday cake
And when we get our shots our shots will take us away to a better place
When we take our shots our shots will take us away
When we take our shots our shots will taste just like birthday cake.
