Time is never going to be a friend I like to see
He comes gliding from the ocean
Like harmonic motion
And girls were never going to call anyway
First dates never went so bad as when I lost my keys
And the winter nipped your nose
And you fell all about me
I was so cold that I could barely see.
Sleep tight and kill me for spite of myself
These dreams are a waste of my time and my health
Your radio and Hail to the Thief
I’ve never been that depressed in my life
So I turned to Nintendo
A surgical knife
In my belly might better suffice for these crimes
But why would I take these hits to my face anymore?
Was your record player born-again?
And save all your Christian friends?
I remember the pregnant pauses
And the stillborn silence
When I came to collect my things you had hidden a few of them
Sleep tight and kill me for spite of myself
These dreams are a waste of my time and my health
Your radio and Hail to the Thief
I’ve never been that depressed in my life
So I turned to Nintendo
A surgical knife
In your belly might better suffice for these crimes
But why would I take these hits to my face anymore?
Your radio and Hail to the Thief
Your car horn and Hail to the Thief
Your new hair and Hail to the Thief
Growing Pains and Hail to the Thief
Graduation and Hail to the Thief
Fake Id’s and Hail to the Thief
Why’d you take my Hail to the Thief?
Storm out and shatter my knees?
Oh well
