lyrics

Absolution may take a while
But come on honeypie now can we get a smile
Waking up you’re half past dead
Can you believe this is the life
The life that you have led

Waking up it’s instant dread
It’s getting harder to relieve
The pressure in my head

Spend all waking hours waiting for the big surprise
A sign a symbol or the devil in a new disguise
Tell me can you feel the crosshairs painted
Right between the eyes

Peace of mind is hard to get
But in the meantime put your poncho on
It’s going to get wet
What a shame there’s no seats left at the dance
All your regret is such a waste of time
You never had a chance

Spend all waking hours waiting for the big surprise
A sign a symbol or the devil in a new disguise
Tell me can you feel the crosshairs painted
Right between the eyes
