Best Lasts Forever

Lyrics

[Verse 1: Kyle Falconer] I feel like a sun without a sky Feel like a socket, without an eye Feel like a house, but not a home Just a dog without a bone [Chorus] How can you wink without an eye? Like a grievance, but with no cry A house, not a home, and I don't know why Just a pig without a sty The best lasts forever [Verse 2] Feel like a sail but I've been slashed A vigilante that's been unmasked Feel like a raft, but not a ship Sinking on this south facing tip I know that before when you answered the door I told you the world to leave me The best lasts forever, together again [Verse 3] Have you ever felt like a story untold? A catwalk model that's growing old Hard to imagine what's more important The rainbow, the pot or the gold I know that before when you answered the door I told you the world to leave me The best lasts forever, together again [Verse 4] Thinking about what it is that made you change Was it the quarks, the dosh or the dames When did I become so deranged? Think of the time when blood ran through your veins When she looked as sweet as a candy cane As she looks through the window pane Through the window pane and the rain I said it again and again The best lasts forever I know that before when you answered the door I told you the world to leave me [Verse 5] I've been on my knees on so many streets Not just the ones in Dundee Feel on my face, been a legless disgrace Ten thousand laughing at me, but still The best last forever
