God Bless You

[Verse 1] Thank you for that englishism Time's a damn important prison You wouldn't wanna waste it by having fun Spoken like a true admirer Leaning on a wire spire Let it bend all the way 'til it breaks [Pre-Chorus] Don't say you want it all You're a dog chasing cars Running after a shooting star [Chorus] God bless you We smell your fear The pressure To make this year Something you wanna write home about Instead we forward your post To the same old address Who cares to confess? It's not quite what we'd hoped Ooh, ooh, ooh Oh, ooh, ooh, ooh [Verse 2] I thought of you when the light came on Outside, just behind the speed bump I was so blinded by this phantasm That the toaster made me jump We played text table tennis You span a pirouette with each reply I almost dropped my bat, but held it Between my palms and both my thighs [Pre-Chorus] We can't close our eyes because we live for blue light And I hear I'm a natural at dry-swallowing pride But I was so excited for our online date that I sprayed perfume A generation that can't pay attention and we don't quite rhyme And every crisis is existential when every white wine is dry [Chorus] God bless you Behind your eyes Impounded Grey paradise Something you can't just scream about You haven't learned the right words Who'd care to explain why we feel Trapped between earth and dirt? [Bridge] The future ain't lost But I don't know where it's gone Been parodied too long You're feeling a song come on 'Cause every time you scream You wonder, "Who speaks through me?" It's worth the wait though, trust me [Chorus] God bless you Behind your eyes Impounded Grey paradise Something you can't just scream about You haven't learned the right words Who'd care to explain why we feel Trapped between earth and dirt? [Outro] Dirt Dirt Dirt
