lyrics

They chew it like a lemon. They devour their transgressions.
They love to make it show. And I walk amongst the chatter.
Often something keeps them stirring. All defense and often worried.
Their numbers getting fatter and they love to make it show.
I still don’t see the matter. Still can’t join the fight or clatter.
Watch them flatten things to flatter and they love to make it show.

Hold us. Hold us. Comfort us truly. No better but could be.
Hold us. Hold us, yeah.

They’re forcing us to leave so there’s just them and no others.
Only rich folk can hang out here. You were never wanted or welcome.
You were never called or invited. Never asked if you were coming.
The answer’s always no. But still you hope that you have something.
So you and I were standing in the parking lot of The Landing.
Every car was dark and empty, and the winter wind was blowing.

Hold us. Hold us. Comfort us truly. No better but could be.
Hold us. Hold us, yeah.

They love to make it show. Love to watch us while we’re waiting.
But we never got to see them. They were laughing around the corner.
So I asked you for a lighter ‘cause I had something for lighting.
We decided to go drinking.
