about
This song takes its name from a poem by Elijah Pearson entitled "Cigarette Kids"
They move like dust
through the seams and empty space
clinging to anything that will briefly accept their presence.
They dance in the rain
when no one else is in the streets.
They're used to feeling this alone.
(2013)

lyrics
I need a new body
I need new friends
I need someone to hold my hand
until the bitter end.
I'm so ungrateful
for the life that I live
yeah, money talks, surely,
but it's gonna kick you in the back of your head.
Oh, I, you you you you are
the only one I want
Oh, I, you you you you are
gonna get left behind
Enamel protection
will only get you so far,
your teeth are gonna fall out
when we're fucking in the back of my car
cuz I'm a nightmare, baby,
I'm a bubbling mess,
and I know that you love me, baby,
but I'm the one that loves me the best
Oh, I, you you you you are
the only one I want
Oh, I, you you you you are
gonna get left behind
Oh, I, we we we we hate
the people that we are
Oh, I, you you you you are
made of plastic scars
I need new friends
I need someone to hold my hand
until the bitter end.
I'm so ungrateful
for the life that I live
yeah, money talks, surely,
but it's gonna kick you in the back of your head.
Oh, I, you you you you are
the only one I want
Oh, I, you you you you are
gonna get left behind
Enamel protection
will only get you so far,
your teeth are gonna fall out
when we're fucking in the back of my car
cuz I'm a nightmare, baby,
I'm a bubbling mess,
and I know that you love me, baby,
but I'm the one that loves me the best
Oh, I, you you you you are
the only one I want
Oh, I, you you you you are
gonna get left behind
Oh, I, we we we we hate
the people that we are
Oh, I, you you you you are
made of plastic scars
