Nitrous Gas

Album: Pedestrian Verse (2012)

  • Shut down the gospel singers and
    Turn up the old heartbreakers
    I’m dying to tell you that I’m dying here
    Throw up the sickly joy and I’ll
    Swallow the sweet self-loathing I’m
    Just dying to be unhappy again

    Oh where love won’t grow
    Oh I’ll build my home
    And if happiness won’t come to me
    Hand me the nitrous gas
    Leave the acute warm heartedness
    Go where the joyless bastard lives
    He’s dying to bring you down with him
    Suck in the bright red major key
    Spit out the blue minor misery
    I’m dying to bring you down with me

    Oh, oh, oh, oh
    But if happiness won’t come to me
    Hand me the nitrous gas
    You can keep all of your oxygen
    Hand me the nitrous gas
    If happiness won’t live with me
    I think I can live with that
    Keep all of your oxygen
    Hand me the nitrous gas Writer/s: ANDY MONAGHAN, DAVID WILLIAM LAWRENCE KENNEDY, GRANT DAVID HUTCHISON, RUSSELL GORDON SKENE, SCOTT JOHN HUTCHISON
