Holly wore a string around her finger |
|
She said it helps her to remember all the nights that we got over |
|
And besides, it ties her outfit all together |
|
Holly wore a string around her finger |
|
There are strings attached to every single lover |
|
But they still can't even tether us together |
|
Listen to the back of the theater, |
|
I think they really love one another |
|
There are strings attached to every single lover |
|
When they say great white sharks |
|
They mean the kind in big black cars |
|
When they say killer whales |
|
They mean they whaled on him 'till they killed him up in penetration park |
|
Holly wore a cross to ward them off |
|
She said if they think you're a |
|
Christian then they won't bring in the dogs |
|
And if they think you're a |
|
Catholic then they'll want to meet your boss |
|
Holly wore a cross to ward them off |
|
Yeah, there's camps down by the banks of the river |
|
And it's sketchy in the night but they mostly lay low in the light |
|
Hey sweet recovery, come on, won't you wade into the water with me? |
|
You know, there's camps down by the banks of the river |
|
When they say black and tans |
|
You know they mean the kind from the cans |
|
We don't got time to mix it all together |
|
I'm a very busy man, man |
|
She said I dig those awkward silence' |
|
Cause I grew up in denial and went to school in |
|
Massachusetts |
|
He said hi, |
|
I like to party on the problem blocks |
|
And I can't stand it when the banging stops |
|
I saw her at the party pit |
|
She was shaky but still trying to shake it |
|
Half naked and three-quarters wasted |
|
She was completely alone |
|
I saw him at the riverbank |
|
He was breaking bread and giving thanks |
|
With crosses made of pipes and planks |
|
Leaned up against the nitrous tanks |
|
And he said take a hit |
|
Hold your breath and |
|
I'll dunk your head |
|
Then when you wake up again |
|
Yeah, you'll be high as hell and born again |
|
Yeah, there's strings attached to every single lover |
|
There's strings attached to every single lover |
