Sad To Let You Down Like This

from Universal Hurt by Frankie and His Fingers

/

lyrics

Please atone for your party foul
Leave alone while you can shimmy out
Part the seas of your own ennui
And walk down the street with Disney Channel Dignity and be
Like the kids on TV

Disconnect all the simple lines
Lace your wounds with a length of twine and believe
That people wanna be like you
When it’s not your call what they should or shouldn’t do
It’s true
Be cool

Just put that speech in your pocket and listen
You’re only one in a billion
So try to be human
Just kick that soap box out from under
Kid, don’t it make you wonder
If the lightning is worth all the thunder

“Years ago” is a mantra now
Say it more and say it kinda loud
Tell the mirror you can see things clearer
And do a double-take as your doppelganger sneers
You’re a grown up adult with a level head
You clean your towels and you make your bed, sure
But why do you act like your youth is dead
The day will come when you wish you were this age instead

Just put that tongue in your fingers and hold it
Let’s act out the story like you told it
No one is old yet
Just kiss your stars like you’ve always been lucky
Your name won’t be on the marquee
But you get a front row seat

Hey, you came!
You showed up, now go away
This is a sacred place
Only beamers have the green light to stay
Oh no, you don’t have to go!
I was only trying to balance a ratio
You can’t be cocky, but you can’t be low
Wipe that frown off your face
But don’t look too glad though

Please atone for your over-thought
Jeez, you sure do say those words a lot
Don’t you think they would’ve all forgot
It’s a the past and it’s not an 80s movie plot
