No Glory in Regret - John Moreland

Did you hear the devil laughing

From the ambulance passing?

Or was that just my troubled mind?

Don’t you wanna shake the ground

And tear heaven down?

Raise your fist to the guilty sky

I’ve been pouring whiskey in the wind

Burning pictures of my best friends

Until the ashes cover me like rain

And you meant something to me then

And you mean something to me now

But some things ain’t meant to stay the same

Bless our busted hearts

Just sinking into the dark

Mourning these wasted old sparks

That all disappear

I never meant to be

Your woe-is-me emergency

But I ain’t dead yet

And I know there ain’t no glory in regret

Don’t it feel like the truth

Comes at the price of your youth?

When the hell you’ve paid ain’t quite enough

And God’s been making deals

While we’re down here spinning our wheels

And using up our little share of luck

Well you beg the world to know your name

And you get glitter spilling out your veins

Turn turn turn, babe, I guess it’s true

Cause I was standing on a dead end drive

With my pride, thumbing for a ride

And somehow I ended up next to you
