Lyrics[]

Sleep two to a bed
Four to a room
Prophets from the countryside
Glad tidings of doom
Too broke to play around
Like the soldiers do
All up and down
The glittering avenue
Anything's better then the future
I can see that from here

Stack the amplifiers high
Turn up the bass
Spring wild from the wings
With glitter on my young face
It's miserable outside
But in here it's warm
It always feels so stable
At the center of the storm
Snake on my chest for protection
Why the hell not
