An Acre Lost Lyrics by Sleigh Bells

Texis

2021

[Verse 1]
Oh, the first day, Sunday
Feels like some other life
The dark wake of a troubled heart
Wretched is rad, yeah
A cool new way of life
Where are the real tough kids? Just tragically die
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else
[Chorus]
An acre lost, take it away
An acre gained, but not by you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
An acre lost, fading away
An acre gained, the joke's on you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
[Verse 2]
I can see the exit signs
Right behind your eyes
I can see the thunder clouds come rolling in
And all the real tough kids with high IQs
Tragically die, tragically
[Pre-Chorus]
Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else
[Chorus]
An acre lost, take it away
An acre gained, but not by you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
An acre lost, fading away
An acre gained, the joke's on you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
[Bridge]
Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else
Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else
Don't kid yourself
Don't kid anyone else
Carry strength and blow it away
Blow it away
[Chorus]
An acre lost, take it away
An acre gained, but not by you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
An acre lost, fading away
An acre gained, the joke's on you
If I should wake before I die
Knock me out for heaven's sake
