lyrics

Christened Virginia Black by those who hate her back,
Cause for a heart attack – or at least arrhythmia
Well when she woke up, fingers round her coffee cup,
The caffeine still washes up any trace of the day.

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Why spend the afternoons awake?
When every suburban truth, you’ve wandered from,
And you forgot the words to say.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Why even look around?
You know this picture perfect town holds nothing for you,
You’ll just forget the words to say.

Less than an hour away from her first perfect day,
She had the nerve to say “Well, at least nothing has gone wrong!”
Oh, what folly is this? It’s not the tenderest kiss,
It’s not the blue eyed abyss that you have been searching for.

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Why spend the afternoons awake?
When every suburban truth, you’ve wandered from,
And you forgot the words to say.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Why even look around?
You know this picture perfect town holds nothing for you,
You’ll just forget the words to say.

Well it’s not too late for lighting up that cigarette
Vienna’s shores have never met a girl quite just like you
I’ve never heard a lullaby that kept me so awake at night
So keep up this charade and no one dies

Take me to your bed, all satin sheets and bloody red
Let’s fall in love instead (let’s fall in love instead)

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Why spend the afternoons awake?
When every suburban truth, you’ve wandered from,
And you forgot the words to say.
Oh! Oh! Oh!
Why even look around?
You know this picture perfect town holds nothing for you,
You’ll just forget the words to say.
