You said you were held up with something,
you were nearly dead when they found you
cleaning the swimming pool out with your teeth
You came out of it all unsteady,
shaky and unrecognisable
sneezing red and white right into the water
I'll force feed you,
salt and water,
until you sick up what you did
'cos you fucked up,
and that's so unlike you
you're usually so well balanced and i swear
We were making history, you were just making a mess
cleaning the swimming pool with your teeth
you came out of it all unsteady,
shaky and unrecognisable
sneezing red and white right into the water
and that's when they found you
father, murder. that's all she said

..And these little accidents keep on happening
the pool, the car and the way you look at her
It's all a little too easy and a little too quick
I want you to slip that bit slower
Hey man, i saw your sister at a party,
she's turning out exactly how you never wanted to be,
she's shaky and far too proud of the fucked up kids she gets connected to
and can you tell her she won't find anything in the bottom of that bottle she hasn't found a thousand times before
there's nothing to it
Hey man, Iv'e seen your sister at a party,
she's turning out exactly how you never wanted to be,
scratching around for excitement on scabby floors, slipping on bloody knees and open sores
there's nothing to it

and I'm glad you invited him,
like to know what I'm up against
but he's a prince and you're a mess
but do you remember,
yeah you used to be better,
before you started getting low in your car
you got so dull
and it's boring to see you like this,
strung out and bust up
when did you get so spineless?
getting low in the back of your car
and now your checking in,
pressing hard against his crown,
gold on white, white on gold
and he's a magician,
conjuring dirt cheap tricks
he's Mark Wilson and your Nani Danelle,
he's still too good for you
and it's boring to see you like this,
strung out and bust up
when did you get so spineless?
getting low in the back of your car
you got so dull

Everything dies, and that's a fact
but i know everything that dies,
won't ever come back
and is it really worth it?
getting angsty over a phone call?
there are some things I'm never getting back

i can see you're going through your motions
painted red and you're barely breathing
cut up, beat down, lucked out
positive thoughts man, positive thinking
'cos you're not the prince you once were,
but your not as bad as her, no not if you tired
you kept your crown, but it's slipping
like the sweat on your head, like the girl in your bed
and everything starts and everything ends
you just enjoy the conflict, and the cuts that come with
treading water, trading awkward glances. It's far too easy.
and like I said, everything ends
but these endings get romanticized
I'm just hoping your's does to
you kept your crown, but it's slipping
like the sweat on your head, like the girl in your bed
