[00:32.68]Sometimes i can't afford to backslide
[00:34.80]I've been mining through my boyhood fantasies
[00:36.43]And finding that some of
[00:37.27]Them still feel good to me
[00:38.47]Still fit perfectly  working like a charm
[00:40.61]Draped around my shoulders
[00:41.26]Old friends keep me warm
[00:42.23]In my parents car
[00:43.58]Five full years of screaming with the stereo up
[00:45.51]So when i run i just push pedals
[00:47.51]My feet barely budge
[00:49.00]I've trid keeping the world out
[00:50.28]Of my sovereign nation statino wagon
[00:52.49]The place where i felt safe to keep moving
[00:54.40]The scenery changes so i don't have to
[00:56.84]I still can't drink  stil convinced
[00:58.54]If i can't do it myself doing it's worthless
[01:00.61]Cuz the world will come out
[01:01.61]In the end from under
[01:02.53]You set yourself up when you're counting on others
[01:05.10]I'm not sad  i'm passed desensitized
[01:06.86]Friends drop like flies and cut their own lines
[01:08.28]And at the end of the day
[01:09.52]It's just me and my flat line
[01:11.22]Send electricity  let me not smile
[01:12.96]Let something puncture the numbing force field
[01:14.65]We erected young men to prtect how we feel
[01:16.87]I've been mining by boyhood dreams
[01:17.92]And i found one that never made sense to me
[01:20.07]Up until now
[01:25.56]That car takes a corner carelessly
[01:26.93]Tearing its wheels from the street
[01:28.31]From the air to the trees by the side of the road
[01:30.57]Twisted heaps of debris  shine of glass
[01:32.13]And the cold wet grass on my face
[01:33.68]Some blood in my mouth
[01:34.65]The taste washed out
[01:35.46]By the headlights passing on by
[01:37.43]I'm lying  resting in the wreckage
[01:39.21]Half asleep and completely defenceless
[01:40.96]No proection from scavengers  weather
[01:43.24]And a few days of rain
[01:44.44]Which worsens the smell of it all
[01:46.08]But no one complains
[01:46.94]A crew will be called
[01:47.89]To scrape these remains eventually
[01:49.45]Some cars slow down
[01:50.43]And kids crane their necks to see
[01:51.74]Most just swerve left unimpressed  forgetting me
[02:26.63]You can make your very own poison
[02:27.73]Despicable man
[02:28.39]Begin by keeping him a boy
[02:29.44]For as long as you can
[02:30.57]And when the voice in his head
[02:31.65]Says that everything's wrong
[02:32.47]Let him think we'd convinced
[02:33.33]But only with the right song
[02:34.70]You can make your very own poison
[02:35.78]Despicable man
[02:36.32]Begin by keeping him a boy
[02:37.30]For as long as you can
[02:38.37]And when the voice in his head
[02:39.76]Says that everything's wrong
[02:40.59]Let him think we'd convinced
[02:41.46]But only with the right song
[02:42.70]You can make your very own poison
[02:44.15]Despicable man
[02:44.50]Begin by keeping him a boy
[02:45.64]For as long as you can
[02:46.65]And when the voice in his head
[02:47.74]Says that everything's wrong
[02:48.55]Let him think we'd convinced
[02:49.45]But only with the right song
[02:50.86]You can make your very own poison
[02:52.26]Despicable man
