Lyrics

Pink Shell

I've had plenty of people in my peripheral I've spent many moons Spilling my guts to many fools and plead their lusting All over the world, I've seen so many things I have been in your shell I nailed your girlfriend

Oh, slimy tonight I have, I have, I have And then she said to me "You don't mean nothing anymore" Anymore (anymore), anymore (anymore)

It'd been a long, long time coming Since I've seen 'em It's golden, it's golden, we're golden But only in the sun The night breaks, you always put me to the test To put me down

Let's put it in the dirt for the weekend For the weekend I am waiting for someone I have not seen them anywhere I have not seen, ah
