lyrics

Make-out city, hold off silence
call your girlfriend, tell her you’re not home
Bike down Main Street, 4am bar
The wolf is waiting, whalebone massacre

Drunk and insecure
Shouting along to the Cure

Your mouth is pretty wet
and my heart is overwhelmed
The drums, a beating chest
and my heart is overwhelmed
Downtown!

Voices breaking, on the sidewalk
Through the window, a man wears overalls
Empty face bones, stares like funerals
Cemetery, soft stare overkill

Smoking dopes for sure
Shouting along to the Cure

Your mouth is pretty wet
and my heart is overwhelmed
The drums, a beating chest
and my heart is overwhelmed

Your mouth is pretty wet
and my heart is overwhelmed
The drums, a beating chest
and my heart is overwhelmed
Downtown!
Downtown!
