How I Met Your Head

from The Way The Trees Are by Big City

/

lyrics

Decorated
with your girlfriend’s boyfriends’ ex-friends’ mist
Made of one too many mornings
like a rich Marwood,
like a cool Withnail from the East
You, you really had the nerve
to announce they really had the nerve

But I do remember a time
yes when you used to sport your life
on an empty canvas
after you flung the curtains wide
And I don’t know, I don’t know
I got to feed your hopes from the start

But you’re a big boy now
I’d rather let you down

Fluxing with old Einstein to the past,
to when I took to the meths
before I had to exile myself
Arrives a time of dust, of quests,
of newness in the air,
of clutching onto anything and asking
“Please, keep me away from prying eyes
Keep me away from dreadful lips”

But now, with plasticine intentions
Jaded shallowness
The same old little plans
in your metallic universe
Man, I don’t know, I don’t know
I see no secret to it at all

If you’re a big boy now
I’d rather let you down

Melting plastic aerial covered up your face
Looking like the rest again
That’s how I met your head
