Buildings in America Lyrics by Richard Swift

Dressed Up For the Let Down

0

I'm hungry, hungover
You're an angel
I'm coming over but please don't laugh
Don't say that it's okay
You're a plane crash, blister fever
You're a liar, a believer but please don't laugh
Don't say that it's okay
I cut your name from your mother's heart
I won't be late and I won't be caught
I try not to be someone to love
I didn't mean to bleed, it's so damn tough
I played your heart but I broke two strings
Jesus Christ you're a lovely thing
Please remember to regret it
Don't be sorry, just forget it and please don't laugh
If I can't say your name
You're a plane crash with a pipe dream
Ruby Tuesday with a broke wing and please don't cry
Like buildings in America
I cut your name from your mother's heart
I won't be late and I won't be caught
I try not to be someone to love
I didn't mean to bleed, it's so damn tough
I played your heart but I broke two strings
Jesus Christ you're a lovely thing
I messed it up
I blew a kiss and caught your breath
To see who you waited for
I cut your name from your mother's heart
I won't be late and I won't be caught
I try not to be someone to love
I didn't mean to bleed, it's so damn tough
I played your heart but I broke two strings
Jesus Christ you're a lovely thing
Jesus Christ you're a lovely thing
