The Lawrence Arms - The YMCA Down lyrics

rate me

I let go away, the worlds biggest ..

You can smell the rats are dying as the ships start to sink

Down beneath the hole.

I can raises and peers, up against the bars, staring down their years.

You told me to get you, ‘cause you were at the end.

And I said I wouldn't miss you cause baby I'd be dead.

And at the end I said that I could get away.

Otherwise I'm nothing without you, babe. Oh.

I got .. I'm bathing in the sink at the YMCA down the street from the clinic.

And there's a sad old man with sad saggy hands

Just crying under the electric drier for your hands.

And he wept and he's dying and a spider on his nose.

Seem indicated that he's been keeping warm out in the cold.

And he's a lot like me I guess, but we're somehow not the same.

They say you really die the last time anybody says your name.

Chorus:

These.. the dream, was nothing that I needed.

These demons to believe, but I somehow not to feel em

And the wings inside his dream, are .. to deep her down drown.

Gotdamn this f*cking sound, is reckless and I'm drowning.

I got these black on my teeth, breaking off the bloody deep.

And I haven't seen the dentist in at least six thousand weeks.

And I'm happy as I can be, these whisky and these dreams

I wouldn't dare to follow cause I couldn't dare succeed.

So I ride down chilly roads, so I sit in chilly barns,

so I text and tweet and look at nudes and beat off in the dark.

Back when I was just a boy, the ugly ways to go.

But baby I got old, somewhere I ditched my soul, oh.

Chorus:

These.. the dream, was nothing that I needed.

These demons to believe, but I somehow not to feel em

And the wings inside his dream, are .. to deep her down drown.

Gotdamn this f*cking sound, is reckless and I'm drowning.
