lyrics

When you cracked my ribs, it was the greatest thing that had ever happened to me
[The] lack of air in my lungs and the blood I coughed up — Pollock couldn’t ever outdo me
The catharsis I felt, your perfume that I smelled — Dior, carbon monoxide and iron
Thought that I'd seen it all but this one's new: the despair that
I feel with you
I don't know where I'm going to sleep
I don't know where I'm going to stay
Baby, there is no tomorrow
All we have is today

When the fire fades we're left in [the] shade in our little little nowhere
Found one last pill, so now we can kill little feelings that were left there
We’re [flashing] red and blue. I'm in love with you and the masses won’t forgive us
We stand our ground, enter the void, single touch and
We’ll explode
I don't know where I'm going to sleep
I don't know where I'm going to stay
Baby, there is no tomorrow
All we have is today

Picture a cliche movie scene, a teen dream sort of scenario: bloody faces with eyes sunken deeper than black holes; burnt [out] in more ways than one; a cloud of gas, stunned. Endless fun for the whole family? A cautionary tale of how not to rebel, because there is always a right way right? What is presented on your screen is a sort of youth that burns so bright that you hear about it on the 6 o'clock news.

This little tale is made to soothe
As they don’t fit your sense of truth
As packaged by the status quo
Which seems to melt like falling snow
It turns to sleet and crashes down
Drenching the soil over the mound
Reviving hate from ages past
Dumbfounded faces, all aghast
This rotten corpse, modernity —
The Earth has caught new leprosy
Any attempts to go beyond
Will be squashed.. So sing this song
It’s just kids, they’re having fun
A little vodka for the road
Pretending they are on the run

Oh yeah, the kids are having fun
A little vodka for the road
First stick a needle, then lick a toad
Pretending they are on “a run”
Imagining they are in a tv show
And this is their theme song
So sing along
Is it so wrong?
They don’t know what’s coming up next
We all know that the kids aren’t okay
Tomorrow is a foreign concept
All that’s left is today
