Our Wasted Lives

Patrick Wolf


Hey kids, 
There's no romance in fate 
You'll go far 

Because all the one night stands 
Could be within your hands 

Here comes the hard sell from the top: 
Used to sleep walk but I woke up 
Felt emptier than a suburban swimming pool in the fall 

Wait. I noticed today I've let years slip by. I don't know why. 

It's not like I've got time on my side 
It's not like I've got time on my side 
Who will testify 
For our wasted lives 

Hey kids, 
You've been type cast all your lives 
but no more. 

Guardian angels 
should be ashamed of themselves 

Here comes the hard sell from the top: 
Lose faith in fate
