Testo Fading Vibes Les Savy Fav
When we were little kids
we tried the seven deadly sins
in the attic every summertime.
The wet felt smelling silent kind.
Weâd play light as a feather,
stiff as a board
and youâd press to my hips as weâd
slip through the floor.
The grey, grey ghost is coming out
of the bright white sheet that was wrapped about him.
The shade, shade, shade, could have been mistaken, but I swear that the sunlight was shooting straight through him.
Letâs make a mess of this banquet
while our bones are soaked in blood.
When our skin and cells are bankrupt
weâll be deposit in the dust.
Try to stay soft
and remember to bend
the chance to get supple will not come again âcause in time you will find rigor mortis sets in.
`cause in time you will find rigor mortis sets in.
I failed and I failed but my failures were passing, grew hair
and a tail and was all the while asking,
âDoes it stay like this?â and âWill it end like this?â
âDoes it stay like this?â and âWill it end like this?â
Iâm afraid that youâre fading away,
youâre not coming in clear.
Iâm afraid that the games that weâve played
have turned desperate and dear.
Iâll try to stay soft
and remember to bend
the chance to get supple will not come again 'cause in time I will find rigor mortis sets in.
All that you cherish will perish.
ll that can punish will pass.
I know youâll hit the ground running
when you ditch the road at last.
Well, we failed and we failed
but our failures were passing, grew hair
and a tail and were all the while asking, âDoes it stay like this?â and âWill it end like this,
is this supposed to hurt or are we sensitive?â Thereâll be no red rose the day you die
thereâll be flies round your nose and rings round your eyes.
The clock ticks on we donât have a say,
we let one hand wash the others dirt away.
Weâre doing way too much,
we do it way too often.
What used to be a crutch
has become a coffin.
Itâs been good to be alive,
but Iâve simply got to go.
Someoneâs on the other line
and theyâre calling for my soul.
