Lyrics

The Hills

911, I think I saw the final scene ever recorded
'Spite the minutiae, I couldn't comprehend what they were goin' for
And they would clap their hands, and you would still be silent
And they'd unset the stage, and we could go out drivin'

I just need warm water and company
Leave flowers on the centrepiece
With the 29, Celine, and bus receipts

Well, I guess we're doin' fairly well
Shе got out of jail today
I painted my nails baby blue
I told you that I'd changed my namе
But why must we get sick and die?
Why must all the aisles change?

When I found you in the supermarket
You didn't have a word to say
Except, "This has gone up in price"
So now there's nothing left to save

And I've paid for this like 20 times
And now all I've got left is change
I dreamt that I was verified
Nothing could ever be the same
In my head, we had separate cars
With our names on the license plates

And I would do it, but I'm far away
And I would kill him if we had time to waste
But in Paris, in a call bar
I would wait
