《Ambitions Are (Album Version)》歌词

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe keep breathing

[00:08:23] You don't trade money here

[00:08:23] You trade information

[00:08:23] And skin

[00:08:23] Right now there are thousands of forgotten people

[00:08:23] Trying to remember you

[00:08:23] Children are killed because they write an enemy's name backwards on the wall

[00:08:23] Young girls tie ribbons around their slender throats trying to keep their heads on

[00:08:23] Chocolate boy walks to ice cream truck for vanilla cone is shot dead three times

[00:08:23] This city kills its young

[00:08:23] The angels all have guns now

[00:08:23] The angels aren't anyone you'd want to pray to

[00:08:23] No-one here has goals like:

[00:08:23] Get a job, get married, have kids

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe keep breathing

[00:08:23] No desire to get rich

[00:08:23] Become famous

[00:08:23] Move out

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe

[00:08:23] Keep breathing

[00:08:23] Every woman who walks by is every woman you'll never have

[00:08:23] Beautiful, quick and poisonous as mercury

[00:08:23] The city is full of women slim and busy

[00:08:23] Hoping there is room in some man's life

[00:08:23] For them

[00:08:23] Women sort through the dead bodies like bags of laundry with exhausted mama eye

[00:08:23] Sigh because they are too dry for tears

[00:08:23] People huddle in kitchens, clasp their hands, celebrating

[00:08:23] Something has tried to kill them and failed

[00:08:23] Nightclub men twitch too subdued to recognize apocalypse

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe keep breathing

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe keep breathing

[00:08:23] You've driven these streets a thousand times and all they offer is their exhaustion

[00:08:23] Your nightmares have your name now

[00:08:23] You exit the glitter storm, go home alone and embrace the violence instead

[00:08:23] The city has claimed all your blood and memory this is cool and unusual punishment

[00:08:23] You go for years without touching another

[00:08:23] Never think of the 'why?'

[00:08:23] You are so casual about brutality

[00:08:23] Doctor says: take this, it'll settle you down

[00:08:23] Doctor says: take this, it'll settle your system

[00:08:23] Doctor says: take this, it'll we'll settle the bill

[00:08:23] Doctor says: take this, it'll settle the score

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe keep breathing

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe keep breathing

[00:08:23] There's a voice on the loudspeaker and she speaks your language

[00:08:23] Doesn't need to stay

[00:08:23] It can disappear when the wife walks in

[00:08:23] Here comes the interrogation room scene

[00:08:23] Today is the day you're gonna get caught

[00:08:23] You're terrified of what you crave

[00:08:23] Don't get delighted

[00:08:23] They want you scared

[00:08:23] The sweet things don't stick around but the b******t lasts forever

[00:08:23] Please press pound

[00:08:23] You're dual-channeling for new friends or just new things to envy

[00:08:23] Who's running the machine you run on?

[00:08:23] Wish you had someone to speak code with

[00:08:23] Wish you had someone to steal things for

[00:08:23] Wish you had someone to f**k you so you could finally go to sleep

[00:08:23] You just want to die

[00:08:23] A little bit

[00:08:23] Ink and paint is making you faint in your pale pale shirt stolen from uptown stores

[00:08:23] Watch the girls in the twin sweater sets smoke, cough, throw up

[00:08:23] Teeth-scraped knuckles are a tell-tale sign

[00:08:23] Get in the car

[00:08:23] Get in the car

[00:08:23] Get in the car and what you hear is a sound of impact

[00:08:23] Turn around slowly and check your body for bruises

[00:08:23] There is no-one here to take care of you

[00:08:23] Open-mouthed, waiting for a candy kiss and all you get is rain communion

[00:08:23] Between lap dances and laptops you see girls who f**k like they're boneless

[00:08:23] You're thirty eight and your job is telling fourteen year old boys what to think is cool

[00:08:23] Are you laughing?

[00:08:23] They are

[00:08:23] And this one is a fire

[00:08:23] And that one is a flame

[00:08:23] And this one is a spark

[00:08:23] And that one is a match you put out in your mouth when no-one was looking

[00:08:23] And in your dreams your grandparents live forever

[00:08:23] And you throw your love into the air like glitter swallowing stars, spitting up stardust

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe keep breathing

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe keep breathing

[00:08:23] Mothers wring their hands and say: I'm so at a loss

[00:08:23] Best friend says: I've come not to praise you, but to destroy with my bare f**king hands

[00:08:23] Girl on the television says: you all work for me now

[00:08:23] Boss says: come here, let me hit you just once

[00:08:23] Man on the street says: I can make any woman kill herself in a year

[00:08:23] So you drive your dead body home at night

[00:08:23] And when you sleep the angels kisses are mercury

[00:08:23] Mercury

[00:08:23] Breaking love into lust

[00:08:23] Grinding pearls into dust

[00:08:23] Breaking love into lust

[00:08:23] Grinding pearls into dust

[00:08:23] Breaking love into lust

[00:08:23] Grinding pearls into dust

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe keep breathing

[00:08:23] The ambitions are

[00:08:23] Wake up breathe

[00:08:23] Keep breathing
