Optimist Vs. The Silent Alarm (when The Saints Go Marching In) Lyrics

Casiotone For The Painfully Alone Optimist Vs. The Silent Alarm (when The Saints Go Marching In)

We're skeletons of cigarettes
& empty cans & bottles
& we tear out of the parking lot
the engine at full throttle
& we met a route with all right turns
so lights won't get us caught
we got a mess of cash in duffel bags
& every penny's hot
well hallelujah well hallelujah

oh & we're laughing through the fear
that we'll never make the clear
oh & you've never looked so dear
it's the end of our career

we'll ditch the car in Wisconsin
& hide out in the trees
& I know a dude in Madison
who owes some favours to me
with the money in the back seat baby
we could buy a house
& raise a little family on Schlitz
& Mickey Mouse
well hallelujah well hallelujah

oh & we're laughing through the fear
that we'll never make the clear
oh & you've never looked so dear
it's the end of our career
