Erik Petersen - Slow d**h Hymn lyrics

[Verse 1] 2000 was fired out from a cannon The neighbor shot up at the lamps We piled in the street and stood for our anthems On top of the cars with bottles in hand This year crept up, who could see it coming? No one saw the signs, if any were there The distant funeral marches drumming "I'll take life, don't care if its fair" [Verse 2] Read too many tales with terrible endings Gods and machines that get in the way We thought we were home Turns out we were renting Until I am gone, I'm here to stay Taken away our friends, our lovers By cancer, h**n, tragedy It's not the wakes I'm worried over It's knowing we have to go to sleep [Chorus] If it's a highway I am trying just to drive I am trying just to drive Stay awake and stay alive If it's a highway I want you there at the side I want you there at the side Still awake and still alive [Verse 3] The songs we thought we'd have to bury We faced them head-on right away Every reason to cry not one to worry Drive faster and further is my only change So tattoo our arms and raise our gla**es Call out your names this new year's eve And maybe next time we lay down a casket We say at least the story's complete [Chorus] [x2]
