Lyrics The Downtown Fiction

The Downtown Fiction

Hepburn Shades

I watch you lying on the grass

Say you’ll never act your age

You look so inviting yet detached

In those white-rimmed Hepburn Shades

You say it’s not worth living

Why bother getting up today?

But you’ll never know

Just what you’ve missed

When you’re too busy

Just talking shit

The pretentious drop out and the fakers fade away

In their Hepburn Shades

So we meander through a sea of palaver

While your cigarette goes out

I’d give you head

Make you breakfast in bed

If that’d keep you coming ‘round

You can’t swallow your pride

You’re a glorified suicide

But you’ll never know

Just what you’ve missed

When you’re too busy

Just talking shit

The pretentious drop out and the fakers fade away

In their Hepburn Shades

In their Hepburn Shades

So if the black mirror burns I hope my reflection stays

But you’ll never know

Just what you’ve missed

When you’re too busy

Just talking shit

The pretentious drop out and the fakers fade away

In their Hepburn Shades

In their Hepburn Shades
