Second to Last

from Heavy Manners by Sick Sick Birds

/

lyrics

Stay away from the suitcaser crowd, they'll keep you for hours; step back but they keep crowding in; falling back to the fallback plans, but there's plenty of options; it's not the same when you've got no skin in the game - peering out from the last estate.

hey somebody give this place a shove to get back to what we were thinking of;
you always get your dirty work done on the second to last goodbye.

singing past generation's songs; we'll build a dam, we'll work the land
on our knees with the best-laid trampled plans; losing out wringing calloused hands, and keeping your standing; and fall in like a tragic champion does when he's too tired to hold a grudge.

hey somebody give this place a shove to get back to what we were thinking of;
you always get your dirty work done on the second to last goodbye; all measured out to the extreme ready with the ring of gasoline; you always get your dirty work done on the second to last goodbye.

leaving pennies on tracks and pulling bags on backs; and keeping close to the vest; she pulls the clippings from the weekly readers; she says "he's always been nice to me;" every night of the week's the same; everyone wants in the cool kids card game; but it doesn't matter what you say because you won't get in so you fan the flames.
