Vapid Adolescent Blues

We sat down by the river that cuts the city in two

Film stars for security cameras

Vapid Adolescent Blues

You told me your secrets, I didn't tell you mine

You may be beautiful

But, there's swastikas spinning in your eyes

I'd rather be anywhere but here

I see smoke in the distance

Weighs on me like a hex

Spread yourself with your fingers

Let me pay my respects

Hold my head in place

And I'll hide my face

And you'll feel my mouth in your most sacred place

I'd rather be anywhere

I'd rather be anywhere but

Nowhere, I'd rather be

Nowhere, I'd rather be

Nowhere, I'd rather be

Nowhere, I'd rather be

The bottle, the minutes, the seconds, the daughters,

the payphones, the

Lies, the boredom, the slaughter

The world would collapse

The world would collapse

Arch your back

Just arch your back

I'd rather be anywhere but here

I followed my own compass

Didn't care where it leads

Dirty rivers of central London, the Ganges burning

steam

In this moment time means nothing but the pulse beating

in my wrist

Half drunk in far away places where days of the week

are just words on a

List

I'd rather be anywhere

I'd rather be anywhere but

Nowhere, I'd rather be

Nowhere, I'd rather be

Nowhere, I'd rather be

Nowhere, I'd rather be

There's blood on the wind

(There's blood on the wind)

There's blood on the tracks

(There's blood on the tracks)

There's blood on my hands

(There's blood on my hands)

I can't take it back

(I can't take it back)

Nowhere, I'd rather be
