《The Politics of Passing Out》歌词

[00:00:00] The Politics of Passing Out - The World/Inferno Friendship Society

[00:00:12] It was the politics of passing out and other things I thought about

[00:00:18] Wondering if and despairing of when you and I might meet again

[00:00:24] I made up lines I saved up quotes I burned through schemes

[00:00:29] I swam with hope

[00:00:30] Waiting for the moment when any of this might matter again

[00:00:36] We must burn but burn joyfully and give off light

[00:00:42] Unalloyed joy at least for tonight

[00:01:00] With dreams so strange

[00:01:02] And insistent it's no wonder I go around kicking things

[00:01:06] I dreamt I got touched I dreamt I could fly

[00:01:09] I never dreamt things would be bad between you and I

[00:01:13] We burn joyfully and we give off light

[00:01:18] Unalloyed joy at least for tonight

[00:01:23] So take it on the chin spit teeth shut up and sing

[00:01:29] Like the veins in my arms like the tattoos on your skin

[00:01:35] Night upon night blank cassettes and cigarettes

[00:01:41] Like lilacs off the tongue this was supposed to be fun

[00:01:47] This was supposed to be fun

[00:02:00] It was the politics of hanging out that made me feel so dumb about

[00:02:06] Going to shows or even answering the phone

[00:02:09] I ended up hanging out all alone

[00:02:14] And burn joyfully and give off light

[00:02:18] Unalloyed joy at least for tonight

[00:02:23] So take it on the chin spit teeth shut up and sing

[00:02:29] Like the veins in my arms like the tattoos on your skin

[00:02:35] Night upon night blank cassettes and cigarettes

[00:02:41] Like lilacs off the tongue this was supposed to be fun

[00:02:47] Man it was no sin blank looks and cigarettes

[00:02:53] Like the scars on my arms like the heat beneath your skin

[00:02:59] And fight upon fight busted lips and cigarettes

[00:03:05] Like curses off the tongue we're not supposed to be so dumb

[00:03:11] I wish we weren't so dumb

[00:03:14] I wish we weren't so dumb

[00:03:17] I wish we weren't so

[00:03:36] We must burn but burn joyfully and give off light

[00:03:42] Unalloyed joy at least for tonight

[00:03:48] Maybe just tonight
