Yo La Tengo - Black Flowers lyrics

You can take what you can get I forgive but I forget You can never sleep enough And your alarm is going off You wake up and you can't pretend a dream was just a dream again Won't you dry your eyes? But it doesn't matter anymore, you did just what you did before Until you realize the words go la la la la la You can dip your brain in joy When you find the real McCoy When some pretty boys with skinny ties, black flowers and Valentines Try to take you home Do you recognize that I have stopped before you get too high On your own supply, singing la la la la You want it, you got it, but you can't take it home You've got a long way to go I wait forever to say that you will You have a heart to show Honey, you don't have to stay inside, don't have to run, don't have to hide Come and dry your eyes You know you can always change your mind, maybe I will too in time Once we understand no one understands at all Singing la la la la Singing la la la la
