Optimist Vs. The Silent Alarm (When The Saints Go Marching In)

[Verse 1]

There's skeletons of cigarettes

And empty cans & bottles

And we tear out of the parking lot

The engine at full throttle

And we mapped a route with all right turns

So lights won't get us caught

We got a mess of cash in duffel bags

And every penny's hot

Well hallelujah, well hallelujah

[Chorus]

Oh and we're laughing through the fear

That we'll never make the clear

Oh and you've never looked so dear

It's the end of our career

[Verse 2]

We'll ditch the car in Wisconsin

And hide out in the trees

And I know a dude in Madison

Who owes some favors to me

With the money in the back seat baby

We could buy a house

And raise a little family on Schlitz

And Mickey Mouse

Well hallelujah, well hallelujah

[Chorus]

Oh and we're laughing through the fear

That we'll never make the clear

Oh and you've never looked so dear

It's the end of our career
