[Verse 1]
With the arrogance of the drunk pedestrian
Taxi driver looks down my girlfriend's top
Ask politely if he can be a gentleman
Pulls his aviators down so he doesn't have to stop
[Chorus]
And we'll keep on through the sh** storm
Until the metaphors are literal, forced screams are guttural
And we'll keep on through the sh** storm
Until the metaphors, until the metaphors
[Bridge]
When I said this is all I had, I meant it
[Verse 2]
And I speak in the tired clichés of a strip club DJ
Marvellous things so quickly get mundane
When you see the scaffolding behind me
And all the dirty air, it always blocks your way
[Chorus]
And we'll keep on through the sh** storm
Until the metaphors are literal, forced screams are guttural
And we'll keep on through the sh** storm
Until the metaphors, until the metaphors, until the metaphors
[Bridge]
When I said this was all I had, I meant it
When I said this was all I had, I meant it
When you said I was a bad person, I felt it
When I said this was all I had, I meant it
When you said that I had destroyed you
I knew that part of you was trying to destroy me too
When I said that I wanted to die, I meant it
When I said that you saved my life, I meant it
[Outro]
But goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
