Adam Green & Binki Shapiro - Pleasantries lyrics

rate me

What’s in between all those pleasantries

How do you think most times?

I’ve been searching for some passion for my actions

Now you know that it’s full prize

You know how, you know why

You’re not the bedroom type

Night be fading, just what are you celebrating

Old fashion bring your short fuse drying

Whatever this is, the pleasure’s all his

Endlessly trailing my dreams

No need to pretend, I want you instead

To counsel her excellency

Can’t be the first to say you’re the worst

Surely there’s one or two

I’d care more if you’d act as though you like me

And if you really do

Living a lie, to the song you can’t hide

The paintings are still in the tube

I needed to fall, you need not crawl

I punish myself with you

What was between all those pleasantries

What did you hope you’d find?

I was waiting for the chance you never gave me

I’m still working on my lines.
