This Is All We Are

lyrics

THIS IS ALL WE ARE

Separated mornings
When the nights are long
Blasting of at Rudy’s
Waiting for that song

All the dustbag singles falling
Bringing lonely lights to bear
Give it up, for saints are holy
Saints and sinners, what a pair

This is all we are
Oh oh all we are
Oh oh oh all we are

Underage inside
Following advice and advice says
Right or wrong you don’t belong

You spent your days with gold TV’s
Untimely pulse and you’re at ease
Underage inside from following advice

Teach me all the lessons
That I used to know
Blowing smoke and ageing
Paying as you go

Shifting with the days of progress
Momentary lakes and streams
Kissing all the faces, count ’em
Rolling over in their dreams

This is all we are
Oh oh all we are
Oh oh oh all we are
