[Intro: Kelly Southern] Won't you take me back to Texas, where the parking lots are homes? Won't you take me back to Texas, where it's warm? [Verse 1: Kelly Southern] Do you remember the edges of october Sofa surfing 'til we made the flight? The sum of our hangovers laid out before us Stretched to where the desert touches sky [Chorus: Alexei Berrow] In flashes of sleep deprivation An autumn collapsed and the border's convinced But I swear I've never been so far from home [Post-Chorus: Kelly Southern] For everyone whose names we lost or were too drunk or tired to ask Oh dispossessed house-guest We ghosted the midwest And settled where the desert touches sky [Chorus: Alexei Berrow] In flashes of sleep deprivation An autumn collapsed and the border's convinced But I swear I've never been so far from home (I've never) But I swear I've never been so far from home I swear I've never been [Bridge: Alexei Berrow] It's a milestone I'm sure With the parents screaming murder in the hall The morning spraying shadows on the lawn The colour Kodak new Is this magic, is this heaven for you? [Outro: Alexei Berrow] And you think The world's just going to fall into your arms Like so many free drinks bought by strangers in strange bars (I could go on) Well if you faked your way this far Then compromise seems... uh, uh, uh, unromantic (I could go on) Clutching last year's festival wristbands like medals from a war you think you think you fought Well honey, you could cut diamonds on those lips, and that dress has sure stayed pristine But you still lost (I could go on, I could go on, I could go on!) Hanging branches off your stories And it's not like I don't think they're true But they've all got the same plot You get the badges, you get the booze, then you get the boys (I could go on) Johnny foreigner; The Mandy Morbid of indie rock Never got the cash for flights but we've sure seen a lot of cock Put money shots on our blogs and hope to god we're still hot 'Cause between you, and us, and her? I think that's all we've got
