Staring at the Stars - Passenger

Tobacco stains our yellow teeth

And all our fingers and underneath

Our fingernails that clasp on sheets

As we try desperately to sleep

Hearts are sad and eyes are tired

And all this red bull keeps us wired

It gives us wings

It gives us rings around our eyes

We put three sugars in our tea

Sit to watch day time tv

And laugh at mums who don’t know who the father is

And all our girlfriends are long gone

We watch too much internet porn

Who needs love when you’ve got silicone and strap ons

And beer bloats our spoilt guts

And shit jobs keep us in ruts

And keep us eyeing up the what’s and if’s and buts and maybe’s and

Falling over in the street

Is just a part of every week

And we lie drunkenly just staring at the stars

Remember when they were in reach

And all the teachers used to teach

You can do anything if you put your mind to it

We put our minds to it all

But disappointment crashed the ball

We could’ve done anything

We just never quite knew it

So tie your scarf on tight

Its to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight

Its to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight

Its to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight

Its to be a cold night

Oh oh so tie your scarf on tight

Its to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight

Its to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight

Its to be a cold night

Tie your scarf on tight

Its to be a cold night
