lyrics

hi, we're the Seven-series Suburbanites
and we've got a song we'd like to share with you tonight

all my possessions and plans make me blue
bleeding hearts never follow through
weeping willow, a sore-eyed sight
holy grail swept up in the night

but, oh my god,
they up and got gone
like some birds in a great hurried flight
and they hid out in those faraway lands
took no passengers
no familiar glance

drawing back now, I am so ashamed
painstakingly holding onto these old threads
will you meet me in the garden
by the old jail
where an elephant is lying on his side
thirsty for the fire?
will we bring the fire?
forgotten in the stones
a flash in the archive
feels so long ago
it was just last night

and I'm so ashamed
I am so ashamed
that I stay up late
I just stay up late
I'm only killing myself
stay up late
I'm only killing myself
