Common Crooks Shallow Lungs
Late at night,
She finds a ride
To the boy
She met last night
She's always comin' back
For, for more.
Cause she knows
Where to go
Just to get her cigarette lit
Saving every bit of deception
She can cope with.
Still you say,
You can't wait to start again
But you never
Seem to learn
No, you never seem to learn
[Chorus:]
All alone
She's the last one to
She's the last one to come home
With everyone but me
[x2]
As she falls on her face
For the countless time
We know where she ends up
With a signed sealed letter
Doused in perfume
I guess she's ready to go.
Now she's gotta work it
Got boys wrapped up
In her pocket
Replacing morals mixed
With a glass filled with lament
Still you say,
You can't wait to start again
But you never
Seem to learn
No, you never seem to learn
[Chorus x2]
She tries but
No cigar, she won't succeed
She won't succeed
She'd rather be
Sitting on hands and knees.
I leave with one foot
Out the door
Now watch What's in store
Still you say,
You can't wait to start again
But you never
Seem to learn
No, you never seem to learn.
[Chorus x3]
