Song information

Artist: Metric
Album: Grow Up And Blow Away

Lyrics

Piss-poor, ridin high, sunbathin' fire-side
We're here for the porn of the sirloin
Get your t-bone
Let your backbone slide
Tunnel and sky collide
Lose friends to the air waves and the airlines

I wanna make it right
Some future in my eyes *bright*
Hush- don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet

The waitress
The actress
Got the skin and the bones
With the hairbrush and an air brush
She'd be white gold
She asked the piss-poor
"Why you lookin' for that party in the sky?
It's just a movie about a movie too old to die."

But I'm gonna make it right
Future in my eyes *bright*
Hush- don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet
-Though my vision is strainin'

I'm gonna make it right
Some future in my eyes *bright*
Hush- don't explain
When you water down my name
I'll be up too late
Call me when you get
Better at your game
You haven't beat me yet
