THE AIRBORNE TOXIC EVENT - Papillon lyrics

rate me

<BR>

All dressed up, no place to run<br>

No car, no girl, no pills, no fun<br>

Nothing to do in this empty room<br>

I gotta get my head together soon<br>

<br>

Alone again, no plans, no friends<br>

You come around at half past ten<br>

You say "How are you holding up my friend?<br>

Are you sitting around getting drunk again?"<br>

<br>

And I hear the desperation of those lines<br>

Wasted hours, all this wasted time<br>

Oh yeah, I been just fine!<br>

<br>

Then we're at my door in an hour more<br>

We stumble down from the second floor<br>

And we're swaying and braying<br>

We don't know what we're saying<br>

<br>

And you grab my shirt, you're way so curt<br>

I swear to God that this doesn't hurt<br>

When you stare like that, you put on that act<br>

You say something and then you take it back<br>

<br>

And I feel as though I've done something wrong<br>

Oh, how I miss you and your gun<br>

<br>

And I wish I had the guts to scream,<br>

"You know, things aren't always what they seem"<br>

When you walk away, I want you to stay<br>

Don't leave me here to pace and pray<br>

<br>

All these nights I burnt, the hours I turned<br>

You think that by now I heard<br>

That you're only what you pretend to be<br>

I guess that was just lost on me<br>

<br>

I can't stand the way you look at me in that dress<br>

Oh, happy, I will be alright I guess<br>

If I wasn't such a mess<br>

<br>

I'm such a mess<br>

<BR><BR>
