Students Carve Hearts Out of Coal

Students carve hearts out of coal

And I just thought I'd let you know

In this town, we go down for the sake of going under

Students carve hearts out of coal

And I just thought I'd let you know

In this town, what comes around does not go around

So when you crawl out from the mist

That the city kept insisting was pretty

And the government sets you up with her cousin

And a broken cup to drink from

Not some vessel of purity

Just tea in Montreal with assassins

Students carve hearts out of coal

And I just thought I'd let you know

In this town, we get down for the sake of going under

Students carve hearts out of coal

And I just thought I'd let you know

In this town, what goes around has yet to come around

You had a great idea

How can you have a great idea?

When the girls get back on the continent, they won't even see you

From the Boys Club Platoon blowing deaf, dumb, and tuneless

It's vile the way you smile for them

There are limits you know

Students carve hearts out of coal

Students carve hearts out of coal

Students carve hearts out of coal

And I just thought I'd let you know

About the bulls charging out from the gallery walls

Homelessness calls

Ah, sister, you must now wreck the streets
