Lyrics

[Intro] One, two One, two Mmh, no Mm, aah, aah, aah [Verse 1] Sun bleached flies sitting in the windowsill Waiting for the day they escape And they talk all about their money and how their babies are always changing, while they're breathing in the poison of the paint And what I wouldn't give to be in Church this Sunday Listening to the choir, so heartfelt, all singing God loved you, but not enough to save you So, baby girl, good luck taking care of yourself [Chorus] And I said fine, 'cause that's how my daddy raised me If they strike once then you just hit 'em twicе as hard I've always prayed that in the еnd what I gave is worth praising And that flesh and blood can fly despite the odds [Verse 2] We all know how it goes The more it hurts, the less it shows But I still feel like they all know, and that's why I can never go back home And I spend my life watching my own life from the sidelines And God, I've tried, but I think it's about time I put up a fight [Chorus] But I don't mind 'cause that's how my daddy raised me If they strike once then you just hit 'em twice as hard I've always prayed that in the end what I gave is worth praising And that flesh and blood can fly despite the odds [Outro] And I'm still praying for that house in Nebraska By the highway, out on the edge of town Dancing with the windows open I can't let go when something's broken It's all I know and it's all I want now
