Rest & Veneers

Crisis after crisis,
We're undressing in tears
Therapists and dentists suggest rest and veneers
California's sociopaths are turning our gears
So turn 'em off
How 'about we turn 'em on and turn 'em off again?

I'm sick with a similar condition,
But I'm willing
To help out in any way I can
I won't try to influence your decision,
But l'm willing
To listen to you, no doubt

Put it down to a sugar rush
You know, way back in wartime,
You'd be my common-law wife
But for now, it's just the two of us
And l've never felt such freedom in my life
Sat by your side inside
Sat by your side inside

I've been trying my hardest to mythologise our shit
In your tireless pursuit of the three-minute hit
You know, I couldn't believe my eyes,
How well the jacket fit
I've grown up knowing you'd eventually make it

I know I'm not known for my precision
But I wanted to say all this out loud
You know, for once I was cleaning the kitchen
And something deep inside of me called out

Put it down to a sugar rush
You know, way back in wartime,
You'd be my common-law wife
But for now, it's just the two of us
And I've never felt such freedom in my life

You said the shyest eyes are infinity pools
You taught me the pettiest crimes
Will have you breaking bread with fools
A broken line is threaded through the stitch
In time, we're headed to
The whitest lies turn the darkest blue, so I will tell none to you

Put it down to a sugar rush
You know, way back in wartime,
You'd be my common-law wife
But for now, it's just the two of us
And I've never felt such freedom in my life
Put it down to a sugar rush
You know, way back in wartime,
You'd be my common-law wife
Thank God, it's just the two of us
And I've never felt such freedom in my life
Sat by your side inside
Sat by your side inside
Sat by your side inside
