Down and Out (Piano Rendition) Lyrics by The Academy Is...

From the Carpet - EP

2006

Out of the box, out of the kitchen
Out of the world she's grown so fearful of, so fearful of
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again, my friend
This is the end
Out of the house, she grabs the keys
Runs for the hills and doesn't leave a letter
That way the impact will be much better
Away from the man that she's grown so fearful of, so fearful of
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
I don't ever want to see you again
Why, oh why, do you wear sunglasses in the home
When the sun went down about an hour ago?
Why, oh why, do you wear sunglasses in the home
When the sun went down about an hour ago?
Life should not be that way
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces
Now that I'm grown I've seen marriages fall to pieces
Now that I'm grown I've seen friendships fall to pieces
Weekend warriors and our best friends
The writers weren't kidding about how all good things must end
Then again some things, then again some things are far too good
Some things are far too good to go ahead and let go
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Speak now or forever hold your peace
We won't forget Tony or Johnny, oh
No matter how they miss us they still wish us the best on the road
Garrett took a plane to Paris, France
Now he's cooking up entrées for the pretty, pretty
Bookends, Blue and Clarity, to The Wall and Grace
Darkside, Wish and a toast to the late
Weekend warriors and our best friends
The writers weren't kidding
But the good things will live in our hearts
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Always up or down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Always up or down, down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter
Always up or down, down, never down and out
Dream of demons while you sleep
That make you stutter when you speak
Speak now or forever hold your peace in pieces
