Drains Lyrics by NARCS

A Thinking Animal

2016

I'll stay as I am and force a smile
Follow me to the moors on your own
A coat to keep you cold
Dressed in your brother's clothes
Your man on a pedestal
Smothered in complements
My past, your future in tense
I am not myself
I feel none too well
But never mind
I do my best work behind a blind eye
So stay as you are and force a smile

I'll race you to the door and I'll win
Take the brick off the brake and suck in
The air that bleeds from me
Claret drains in a war
Dearest dear, this won't hurt us at all

Skipping alongside what I thought was racing by
Holding on by your side

Lay me down with a tie and a toll
Lay me low, you lascivious drone
Lay me down with a tie and a toll
Pile it up! Pile it up!

If I paint him I paint you
Just another iron-on prick in a suit
It's the regimented hair and the pages you fill
I'd give you all the same fucking pill
The air, it bleeds from me
Claret drains in a war
Dearest dear, this won't hurt us at all

Skipping alongside what I thought was racing by
Holding on by your side
