808 HYMN

When I was a kid, I used to think The moon was following me home But now I drink, dance in the street I know I've never been more wrong Now I'm grown, I've come to know Every girl's out here on her own The faces of god, they never showed Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh Oh-oh (oh-oh), ooh Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh The stars and the gods, they've come to watch Me stumbling home in the silver dark I've been praying to the constellations Turns out they were all just satellite stations Now I'm grown, I've come to know Every blame and every fault So I do what I want, I wear those clothes Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh Oh-oh (oh-oh), ooh Oh-oh, oh-oh, ooh-ooh Can you tell me where it hurts when you feel it kicking in? Grit your teeth, make a scene, put your keys between fists It's an 808 heartbeat, it's a funeral hymn And if this is my end, then the sky is my witness The night isn't kind, it's a cruel, cruel mistress And any god watching will beg my forgiveness for this When I was a kid, I used to think The moon was following me home With shoes in hand, I hear the marching band Playing their song for my untimely end Now I'm grown, I should know I should know, I should know I should know, I should know I should know There's humming in the air, the streetlights are dimming It's the dark before dawn when the birds start singing It's praying you can make it for just five more minutes God, it's quiet, and it's violent, and it's everywhere I go It's the sweat in my palms when I'm praying to the god "I promise I'll believe, if you could just get me home" Oh-oh-oh, tell me where it hurts when you feel it kicking in Grit your teeth, make a scene, put your keys between fists It's an 808 heartbeat, it's a funeral hymn And if this is my end, then the sky is my witness The night isn't kind, it's a cruel, cruel mistress And any god watching will beg my forgiveness for this Can you tell me where it hurts when you feel it kicking in? Grit your teeth, make a scene, put your keys between fists It's an 808 heartbeat, it's a funeral hymn And if this is my end, then the sky is my witness The night isn't kind, it's a cruel, cruel mistress And any god watching will beg my forgiveness for this
