Samey Wineglands

[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
