  • Went to where the people were on a Saturday night
    Seems like it always seems
    Where I go I want to leave
    I thought we were doing fine with our lives
    There are people who will tell you
    There is always something better

    If you don't know or care you'll be alright
    I heard it's modern to be stupid
    You don't need to talk to look good

    I surprised myself as my mouth started speaking
    There is nothing left of my nerves
    As I lean over to ask her

    Pardon the intrusion
    Could we leave before it gets bad?
    I might smash up all these windows
    And set fire to the curtains
    Until it goes on and eats it with its blue and red orange
    Until the fire burns and eats it with its blue and red orange

    If you don't know or care you'll be alright
    I heard it's modern to be stupid
    You don't need a thought to look good

    Pardon the intrusion
    Could we leave before it gets bad?
    I might smash up all the windows
    And set fire to the curtains

    Went to where the people were on a Saturday night
    Seems like it always seems
    Where I go I want to leave
    I surprised myself as my mouth started speaking
    There is nothing left of my nerves
    As I lean over to ask her

    Pardon the intrusion
    Could we leave before it gets bad?
    I might smash up all the windows
    And set fire to the curtains

    Until it goes on and eats it with its blue and red orange
    Until the fire burns and eats it with its blue and red orange Writer/s: MATTHEW MORRIS POND
