Lust for Life Lyrics by Courting

Lust for Life, Or: How To Thread The Needle And Come Out The Other Side To Tell The Story

2025

[Part I]
In the flesh, non-fiction, Siamese
Between a credit card, I lean
I wrote letters, you seemed keen
Come here and meet me two cities over please
Hey big star, the consolation prize
Is behind a paywall you can peek behind
And there I was, by the Rolodex
Thank God for X-Ray glasses
Now I can see all the keratin
Tell me where the story ends
Yeah, tell me where the story ends
Yeah, tell me where the story ends
Yeah, tell me where the story ends
Yeah, tell me where the story ends
And I'm not wearing my perfect eyes
And I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
And I'm not wearing my perfect eyes
And I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah, I'm not wearing my perfect eyes
And I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah, I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah, I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
Yeah I hoped that we'd stay out tonight
[Part II]
I got a job at the good end factory, I was retired in a week
'Cause it was minimum wage and the pension didn't pay out half what it should've been
So now I'm back to counting seconds 'til my face hits the concrete
"What are we doing in this call bar?" You should just blow me a kiss
Don't you wanna fuck a big, big star? You could tie me down like this
She said: "Tell me 'bout the tears under your eyes. Is there something that I missed?"
Well I was never a star, I lied
I only wanted to stay the night
I just thought it might be nice, I guess
And then she took me by the hand, and she said: "Let's"
Well half an hour passes and two people stare at me in the mirror
I've never spared a thought of God for more than one second but I think I'm a believer
So when she told me to close my eyes for a second I just couldn't quite believe here
Then I noticed a .45 on the night stand sitting country sentimental
Then she took me right there by my right hand, I said: "God just please be gentle"
And she said: "I know a place where we can both go." and she pushed it to my temple, and I-
