Lyrics

[Verse 1] Some days I wake up so disappointed To see my breath in the air But it's all just vapour, I mean the whole thing But I get up 'cause it's there [Verse 2] And I can function, you'd never notice My tank is caked with old oil But I feel like every wheel is punctured, deflating slowly Till I'm just grinding the soil [Pre-Chorus] Let the cake go bad, let let the cards fall down Hate to hate this drag I keep pulling around Life's a date you had just for the sake of going out [Chorus] I don't want to wake up dead in somebody's dream (Going nowhere) So whose are all the hands tugging hard at my seams (Going nowhere) Like a giant in Japan or a sieve in the sea (Going nowhere) Oh, mirror on my wall, show me something but me (Going nowhere) [Instrumental Break] [Verse 3] Let's buy a farmhouse, let's buy an igloo Middle finger up the grid Get a pack of dogs we won't have to train much Just so they don't eat the kids [Verse 4] We'll go cold swimming, baring and grinning We'll make a shrine of our souls Pick our own gods like sweets at the movies Dump all our tech in a hole [Pre-Chorus] Let the cake go bad, let let the cards fall down Hate to hate this drag I keep pulling around Life's a date you had just for the sake of going out [Chorus] I don't want to wake up dead in somebody's dream (Going nowhere) So whose are all the hands tugging hard at my seams (Going nowhere) Like a giant in Japan or a sieve in the sea (Going nowhere) Oh, mirror on my wall, show me something but me (Going nowhere) [Outro] I'm dead in somebody's dream (Going nowhere) There's hands tugging at my seams (Going nowhere) I'm like a sieve in the sea (Going nowhere) Oh, mirror, show me something but me (Going nowhere) I'm dead in somebody's dream (Going nowhere) There's hands tugging at my seams (Going nowhere) I'm like a sieve in the sea (Going nowhere) Oh, mirror, show me something but me (Going nowhere) [Instrumental Outro]
