Harriet, by Proxy Lyrics by Johnny Foreigner

You Thought You Saw a Shooting Star but Yr Eyes Were Blurred with Tears and That Lighthouse Can Be Pretty Deceiving with the Sky So Clear and the Sea So Calm [EP]

2010

So all you had to find got trashed and left behind
O I could hardly see yr ghost would follow me, Harriet
I’ll be coming down on the last train, I’ll be coming down on the last train thinking overeaching ill be coming down jumping barriers and overeaching
It's 98 and my bag stinks of liquid gold
We’ll be closing up on the last shift, you’ll be clearing up cleaning coffe cups and co co co coping
We wasted these daytrips now we’re wasting away
It's 03 and my hearts on DeSoto
Hey shallow eyes, where did you go
You don't smoke don't drink what do you do, you skulk around like the worlds gonna swallow you
I’m paralysed
Weak and hollow
You don't smoke don't drink what do you do, you skulk around like the worlds gonna swallow you
So all you had to find got trashed and left behind
O I could hardly see yr ghost would follow me, Harriet
We’ll be coming clear on the end times we’ll be coming up coming clear in the last days thinking wait!
I waited I waited and I wasted it all
It's 2012 and we’re all dead from sunspots
Hey shallow eyes, where did you go
You don't smoke don't drink what do you do, you skulk around like the worlds gonna swallow you
I’m paralysed
Weak and hollow
You don't smoke don't drink what do you do, you skulk around like the worlds going to swallow you
Hey Garriet. Hey harriet. Hey harriette
That's not even yr real name I know
