lyrics

THEY’LL NEVER FIND US

I wrote a poem about the rain
I wrote a song about the pain
I wrote a song placing the blame
And I sang it - to you

You said “That sounded very nice”
To this I said, “Oh, Jesus Christ -
So very nice to say ‘I can’t admit I need you’
Can’t you read between the lines?”

It can’t be over
We’re so dug in
They’ll never find us
They’ll never win

The more we try the more we hold out
We keep denying that the sun’s out
Been too many years of just having to keep - up
Been too much fun just being a fuck-up

And singing songs about the rain
And writing poems about the pain
And writing songs placing the blame
And singing them
To you
