lyrics

Belly of the whale, the tale you tell
Bonnie and Clyde in a Kansas jail
Fare thee well, anywhere but here

Bullet in a book and a busted lip
A pin-up girl on a battleship
What freshest hell does this entail?

Our days are long and our nights are brief
Our lives are hard and not ours to keep

Footprints on the moon and a bag of chips
Chipping away at the edifice
Silver-linings and grey areas too

Tommy worked outside and his hands were rough
Carol had a thing for that kinda stuff
Timid steps in supportive shoes

Our days are long and our nights are brief
Our lives are hard and not ours to keep

The first to shout and the first to cry
The first to pull a gun and the first to die
Desert words in a garden state

Pirouettes in a pink tank-top
Lemonade, Ricola cough-drops
The calendar slips from the wall

Our days are long and our nights are brief
Our lives are hard and not ours to keep
