In a dream drinking strawberry lemonade
Feeding quarters to a pinball game
Getting paid to look the other way
My foam finger slapped me right in the face
I bang my head on the plexiglass
Can’t remember where my house is at
And this Moms Against Drunk Driving ad
Keeps playing on a loop in the back of the cab
What a pitiful hill to climb
Every night of my evil fucking life
208 to the end of the line
Swear I’m really done this time
Said goodbye to my oldest friend
Could barely string together sentences then
A hundred bill folded into his hand
See you on the other side of the fence
I need headphones to fall asleep
I close my eyes and I pretend to be
In my little room on Rossbury
Stepdad reading “Treasure Island” to me
Pain is a way you can move through time
Visit people that are gone in your mind
And smooth over every wrinkle you find
The truth can’t hurt you if you know it’s a lie
I’ve had this thing that Joan said to me
Circling in my head the last few weeks
We were raised on dreams that keep
Turning our fingers green
Baby boomers last acid trip
Pushing up a casket lid
Just some jacaranda petals in a basket
Wrapped up in plastic
Everything is an accident
God’s truth is elastic
We sent a man to the moon and back again
Strapped into a trash can
There’s a consolation prize
In the corner of my mind

I just started listening to this album today and am IN LOVE! Every track is perfect.
I'm slightly sad I didn't start listening to boygenius until but happy to be a fan of their music <3 lissie_a
