Lyrics

I think the kids are in trouble Do not know what all the troubles are for Give them ice for their fevers You're the only thing I ever want anymore Live on coffee and flowers Try not to wonder what the weather will be I figured out what we're missing I tell you miserable things after you are asleep Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls Gave us black dreams Leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls Everything means everything It's a Hollywood summer You'd never believe the shitty thoughts I think Meet our friends out for dinner When I said what I said, I didn't mean anything We belong in a movie Try to hold it together 'til our friends are gone We should swim in a fountain Do not want to disappoint anyone Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls Gave us black dreams Leave the silver city to all the silver girls Everything means everything I was afraid, I'd eat your brains I was afraid, I'd eat your brains 'Cause I'm evil 'Cause I'm evil I'm a confident liar Had my head in the oven so you'd know where I'll be I'll try to be more romantic I wanna believe in everything you believe I was less than amazing Do not know what all the troubles are for Fall asleep in your branches You're the only thing I ever want anymore Now we'll leave the silver city 'cause all the silver girls Gave us black dreams Leave the silver city to all the silver girls Everything means everything I was afraid, I'd eat your brains I was afraid, I'd eat your brains 'Cause I'm evil 'Cause I'm evil 'Cause I'm evil
