"Grow Up And Blow Away"


Grow up and blow away

Flooding the room two by two
From the womb to the holiday
There is no holiday

First double cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Needing something to go on

If she weren't writing in blood
She'd bring him her jokes
A new liver and a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee deep in mud
He'd bring her his jokes
He'd get her a typewriter

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away

Nobody knows which street to take
He took the easy way
What was the easy way

First double cross her heart
He wants to start a family
She always thought she would not

If she weren't writing in blood
She'd bring him her jokes
A new liver and a shovel for the mud
If he were not knee deep in mud
He'd bring her his jokes
He'd get her a typewriter

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away

First double cross her heart
He wants to start a family
Her body is the baby

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away

If this is the life
Why does it feel so good to die today
Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away

Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away

Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away

Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away

Blue to grey
Grow up and blow away
