Curtain Calls On Walkabouts Lyrics by For Our Hero

Threw the Looking-Glass - EP

2009

[Verse 1]
I wished away the bloody nose, covered up the bruises
Sure I have my doubts but father’s so proud
He pats me on the back and sits me down
Says "good boy, you blew them out all by yourself"
The schoolyard’s changing (Keep you blurry)
The fistfight’s singing (And hater’s are rolling)
I’m throwing punches, you’re drop, drop, dropping again
[Chorus]
Put tickets on me
I’ll only keep them to fly us home
The mic rings hollow
Yeah this’ll be my year
Check me in
The curtain calls on walkabouts
Most of us are on the bench
Just itching to get back in, oh
[Verse 2]
Give us something to write home about
Before I bluff another "get well" to myself
Tell mama I’m a dreamer
And father I’m a sinner
Don’t bother with the in-betweens
Fell in love with the lazy winners
Kickin’ back our teens
[Chorus]
Put tickets on me
I’ll only keep them to fly us home
The mic rings hollow
Yeah this’ll be my year
Check me in
The curtain calls on walkabouts
Most of us are on the bench
Just itching to get back in
[Bridge]
Oh, da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da da da da
Da da da
[Chorus]
Put tickets on me
I’ll only keep them to fly us home
The mic rings hollow
Yeah this’ll be my year
Check me in
The curtain calls on walkabouts
Most of us are on the bench
Just itching to get back in, oh
[Outro]
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da da)
(Da da da da da)
