Pretentious Mess (Classic Stripe Version)

from I Am A Wolf, You Are The Moon by Royal Chant

/

lyrics

shaking since yesterday
shaking from memory
it’s an acquired taste
when all the world’s a stage
nearly getting better
not like you remember
and it seems
a little cheap

not even by accident
of falling asleep
hanging on to forgotten words
and throw up the barricades
looking for an answer
waiting on the rapture
and it feels
a little strange

it’s a pretentious mess
of existential dread
all the passion in the world
unravelling for you
I think of all the tricks I’d pull
and hoops I would jump through

hanging ‘round the edge of town
a lovely little schism
talk a little trash
and then it’s on to bedlam
the strangers in your head
more of less again
giving up the ghost
until we break

uneasy like Sunday morning
oh dear you gotta believe me
I tried to warn you
burning all the bridges
mayhem is the message
and it feels
a little strange

it’s a pretentious mess
of existential dread
all the passion in the world
unravelling for you
I think of all the tricks I’d pull
and hoops I would jump through
