lyrics

Well I know that it seems cowardice to just wan to runaway but I’ve been packing up my bags for a year and 13 days. I’ve been thinking about somewhere Europe, maybe in Berlin. We could run away to Paris, maybe Ireland.

Why oh why? Why, oh why, do we stay here? tell me Why oh why? Why, oh why, do we belong here? But look, im talkin’ through a bottle.

Livin’ in a studio just trying to save a buck but one day you and me my love we’ll be living it up. Lets hitch a ride and get away to the big streets of chicago, with your good looks and my guitar we’ll open up a disco and we’ll dance all night, dance all night, until the morning breaks. Dance all night, dance all night, until our legs give way and we’re all left alone.

But everything you love is artificial and the tool of a lie, it happened in the fraction of a second when you briefly closed our eyes. Just tell me,

Why oh why? Why, oh why do we stay here? Look, I’m talkin’ through a bottle for you. Why oh why? Why, oh why do we stay here? Look, I’m talking through bottles.

Oh my, Ann I’ll try. If you be the wine I’ll be bottle. You be my stand up dame, I’ll be your fall down drunk.
