Airplanes To Amsterdam - Exiled lyrics

rate me

Here tonight with her head in the noose<br />

Strung by the words of another<br />

Words from the aunt or the father<br />

But always dogmatic grandmother<br />

<br />

She'll be hung tonight once again<br />

So this whole family can be<br />

Reminded of how great<br />

Their thoughts and prayers can, and will always be<br />

<br />

When this girlfriend's left alone<br />

She'll cry herself to sleep<br />

<br />

Here tonight with his head in the noose<br />

How did we fuck up this bad?<br />

He came to them in trust<br />

He came to them for love<br />

<br />

He didn't know that this would be it<br />

Oh, they turn a blind eye<br />

To the son they never had<br />

He might as well just die<br />

<br />

And, when this man is left alone<br />

He doesn't sleep a wink<br />

Cause where they say he'll go when he's dead<br />

Oh, he knows it cannot be<br />

<br />

It's always been a losing fight<br />

Neither even wants to try<br />

They just lay down<br />

Defeated and set-straight<br />

<br />

It's always things in people's minds<br />

It's their fact their God's always right<br />

It's a fact there's two good people here<br />

Standing on the other side of that wall<br />

<br />

And, when this girlfriend's left alone<br />

She doesn't sleep a wink<br />

And, when this man is left alone<br />

He cries himself to sleep
