lyrics

WOKE UP DRENCHED IN SWEAT
FROM AN ALCOHOL INDUCED TWITCHING DREAM
PARTIED AT THE PARADISE CLUB 1953 SPOKE TO A MAN WHO WAS 7 FOOT TALL FACE BLURRED, FEATURES INDISTINGUISHABLE
SAW A SIGN THAT READ DARK DAYS AHEAD HERE LIES THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE YOU MESSED WITH HER HEAD
GOT FIXED A DRINK BY A KID I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH 1953 WASN’T EVEN BORN YET
IF I WAS STUCK ON SOMETHING WOULDN’T WANT IT TO BE YOU
MAYBE STUCK ON SOMETHING I TRIED SO HARD TO FORGET?
I DON’T CARE FOR YOU I PROMISE
I’VE LONG SINCE MOVED ON I PROMISE
HAD SUCH A THIRST I JUST KEPT DRINKING DOWN AND DOWN THE GLASS KEPT REFILLING
EX GIRLFRIEND PROPPING UP THE BAR I’M SURE I WAS NEVER IN LOVE WITH LENT IN AND WHISPERED “YOU’LL NEVER BE HAPPY YOU DO KNOW THAT?”
A CROWD GATHERED FOR A TAROT READING TUNED OUT FOAMING AT THE MOUTH
FLIPPED A CARD OVER AND SCREAMED “YOU’RE PATHETIC”
EMPTY CHATTER THAT I CAN’T MAKE OUT
WOKE UP DRENCHED IN SWEAT
FROM AN ALCOHOL INDUCED TWITCHING DREAM I PARTIED AT THE PARADISE CLUB 1953

“Half way through Yesterday In Mourning, it begins to dawn on you that all Cross Wire’s songs are relatable on first exposure – an underlying sense of familiarity which you can’t always put your finger on leading you down darkly fascinating avenues” - Louder Than War
