lyrics

I cannot breathe this air
It’s too thick with nostalgia
Though more and more I lesser care
Because we’re…
Lightning hitting twice it seems
Despair casting off to a scene
Off-kilter but it’s not like you
We’re more pleasantly askew

So supplement that fact for critique
Strictly dishonor in his speech
Despicable to say the least
But at least he’ something

So let’s go down
Down to where the signs say no
I could befriend ambition
Match a heel to your sole

Though it’s tempting just to run
I find that I’m pleasantly changed
You’ll find that our lives are in order
When we try not to be arranged

Did you see them on the TV?
They burned away memories
That stabbed, they were picture putrid
A fixture of beauty in all that they did

Sitting idle and alone
So vital for me to hear the tone
That’s the kind to pick you up when you’re down
But up’s not something

So let’s go down
Down to where the signs say no
I could befriend ambition
Match a heel to your sole

Though it’s tempting just to run
I find that I’m pleasantly changed
You’ll find that our lives are in order
When we try not to be arranged

So let’s go down
Down to where the signs say no
I could befriend ambition
Match a heel to your sole

Let’s go down
Down to where no judgement speaks
Because we don’t need it anyway
We don’t need them to tell us
We’ll be happy castaways

Happy Castaways…
