Lyrics
Ok, flattery will get you everywhere
We're bored, and frankly, we are tired of waiting
Might as well have used our talents for somethin'
When that time comes
We'll fight bonfire crowds
Will he write yr name in sparklers
If he writes yr name at all?
And he'll spell yr name right!
Get off before the ship goes down, get off before the ship sinks
Get off before the ship goes down, get off before the ship sinks
Everyone shows their true forms at festivals
Get the bold and the broke and the loosely attached
Getting harder to play, or playin' harder to get out of something
And shout like
It's cold! It's out! It's hangin' him down!
He almost looks guilty, like you're checkin' him out!
And I'll be standin' on the barriers, spitting into microphones to little effect
When that time comes
We'll fight bonfire crowds
Will he write yr name with sparklers
If he writes yr name at all?
And he'll spell yr name right!
Get off before the ship goes down, get off before the ship sinks
Get off before the ship goes down, get off before the ship sinks
Precious I might be, at least these memories I keep
You need yr wine, you need yr sleep
And how the stock room sucks you in, I know
Was so perfectly staged (And all those kisses we stole)
Play whole lifetimes in days
Where is the heaviness?
Think I'm losing control (And all those kisses we stole)
Cheap blue kisses we stole
Where is the heaviness?
Get off before the ship goes down!
Get off before the ship sinks!
Get off before the ship goes down
Get off before the ship sinks
Get off before the ship goes!
