Among Other Foolish Things Lyrics by Brian Fallon

Painkillers

2016

[Verse 1]
Lily, I don't know how to start this letter
I'm writing you from the beach where I'm living
I got a disco outside of my window
I love all these kids, but the good times are killing me
[Verse 2]
I got a picture of you on the dashboard
So I can feel like you're watching right over me
I hope someday you're gonna move to the city
'Cause the lights in this town, they don't brighten up anything
[Chorus]
And they say such foolish things
Like "Love, love, love, love is all you need"
But everything inside is sayin' "Danger, baby, love's gonna leave"
So I'll beg your sympathy, have mercy on me
'Cause I been hurt, I been stung by the good name of love
'Til I threw my own heart in the sea
Among other foolish things
[Verse 3]
And I don't mind the nights and the low light
We spin 'round like records in the apartment
You still remind me of Marianne Faithfull
Lookin' like a picture taken outta the '60s
[Chorus]
And we say such foolish things
Like 'Love, love, love, love is all we need'
But everything inside is sayin' "Danger, baby, love's gonna leave"
So I'll beg your sympathy, be patient with me (have mercy)
'Cause I been hurt, I been stung by the good name of love
'Til I threw my own heart in the sea
Among other foolish things
[Chorus]
And we believe such foolish things
Like "Love, love, love, love is all you need"
And living would be easy if we never ever had to bleed
And I'm takin' a dive on a smoky set of eyes
I been so deceived and I've been the one lyin'
And there was this one time when I painted a masterpiece
Among other foolish things
