For the View - Skating Polly

Please don’t chase us to the score of a spectacle

I threw my drawings in the dirt

You took it hard, and you’re so compelling

I strode in catching stars

Walked back out with screaming palms

Hoping I would never leave my roses

And I never did again

'cause I never thought I’d choke

If it is the stars I lost, I lost them for you

Pick me up, sell me cold, if that’s what you gotta do

So I should be crimed 'cause of you

But I know it’s fun to drain my eyes

Checked into my room for the view

But I know I’m yours 'cause you shut my blinds

Pretty features in the birds are forgettable

I wonder how you wander through the cars

'cause all your fevers often

Spoke highly of his fame

You breathed so loud with broken words

Hoping I would never leave my roses

And I never laughed at all

'cause I never thought I’d choke

If it is the stars I lost, I lost them for you

Pick me up, sell me cold, if that’s what you gotta do

So I should be crimed 'cause of you

But I know it’s fun to drain my eyes

Checked into my room for the view

But I know I’m yours 'cause you shut my blinds

I don’t know the reasons

I don’t have your mail

Trickle down the preachers

Drag them down to scale

If it is the stars I lost, I lost them for you

Pick me up, sell me cold, if that’s what you gotta do

So I should be crimed 'cause of you

But I know it’s fun to drain my eyes

Drain my eyes

Drain my eyes
