Frank Turner - The Corner lyrics

Out on the corner of what I want, and what I intend to get day drinking and dreaming of you, I let the ashtray smoke my last cigarette Once I had a casual acquaintance with my impending doom years ago she promised me some day soon I'd howl at the moon from room to room I ain't transcending much of nothing I've been down in it, I ain't free Weren't no experiment - these seven years they went like a life out of me Clowning on the corner of almost gone but maybe not just yet there's still a little left to pawn and the bones aren't set The cast is slack, the plaster's wet Stepping up the escalator singing hell I am out of here past the predetermined terminals of tears the wings are warm, the runway's clear I ain't transcending much of nothing I'm still down in it, I ain't free Weren't no experiment - these seven years they went like a life out of me Maybe all the world's a hollow recreation, my desperate bretheren hallowed blue hallucination we play to win put your right foot out, put your right foot in But it's a useful little illusion that'll lose you for a song in the beautiful confusion you've been down and counting on and it's a useful little illusion that'll lose you for a song in the beautiful confusion that you've been down and counting on I ain't transcending nothing I'm still down in it, I ain't free weren't no experiment - hell every tear was ran like a life out of me Out on the corner what I want, what I intend to get day drinking and dreaming of you, I let the ashtray smoke my last cigarette
