The Sad Bastard Waltz (In 2 Movements) Lyrics by Common Shiner

Before They Sold Out Pt. 1

2011

[Verse 1]
You share your cigarette as you hang up the phone
It sure sucks getting caught in this but it's nice to not be alone
And you say have you ever seen the rain as a sort of celebration
And I say what a strange way to start a conversation
And just like that you dive into my mind
And I have all my reasons not to let you inside
And you say I’ve never met someone like you in this town
And I swear, I swear I'm ready to give up now
[Instrumental]
[Verse 2]
What intricate moves you seem to have
You lead me to the floor but i nevеr could dance
And you say "why won't you let go of what was beforе"
And I say "’cause I fear all of the fantasy more"
[Final Chorus]
It's all so dramatic, it's all so sincere
The way you tug my heartstrings like it's everything I fear
You break through my defenses I can't stop renewing
With all of your senses you'll be my undoing
It's all so dramatic, it's all so fucked up
All my self abuse and all that I’ve become
You’re the hissing of the static the wind that moves the trees
You rush into the foreground doing anything you please
I long for lover's touch, a glimpse of disregard
With no point of reference how could I let it get this far
You beg me to come out now but I just can’t let go
The loneliness and misery are everything I know
I'm bound to discontent in all that I pursue
But if I had the option I'd trade it all for you
So take this weak delivery, the best that I can show
I can't keep fighting so into your heart I go
Into your heart I go
Into your heart I go
[Outro]
You share your cigarette as you hang up the phone
It sure sucks getting caught in this but its nice to not be alone
