Ducks In A Row

lyrics

We planned our escape
Almost perfectly
It looked so good from the outside
Boys crying wolf
In the cold, dark night

Who knew that the getaway driver
Was a man from our hometown?
Business is business
Just give me a chance to explain

I'm sick with a fever
And I haven't felt right in years
So pleased just to meet you
I'm sorry to leave you
There's a man in the moon
Who knows of all my fears

I don't know what to say
We could have been friends
If I hadn't failed myself
For the seventh time today
The one thing that's clear, I've always known
So soon I will have to go
And when I get all my ducks in a row
Then I'm pulling the trigger

So low
I've been spiralling down
Into the depths of the toilet bowl
Where shit has nowhere else to roll
What would you do?
What would a real human do?
I drew a line, grew in time
Hid behind it
Dreamt of you

We looked to the others for answers
Expectantly
They looked so calm on the outside
Happy and bright
In the cold, dark night

I'm sick with a fever
And I haven't felt right in years
I wish I could keep you
Only to see
If you'd fix the ache
Inside my brittle bones

I don't know what to say
We could have been friends
If I hadn't failed myself
For the seventh time today
The one thing that's clear, I've always known
So soon I will have to go
And when I get all my ducks in a row
Then I'm pulling the trigger

And the world at large will part
And of a worm's five hearts
Not one of them will bleed
For your self esteem
So pick your body up
And show the human bodies tough
I want to go remembered
For more than just enough

I don't know what to say
We could have been friends
If I hadn't failed myself
For the seventh time today
The one thing that's clear, I've always known
So soon I will have to go
And when I get all my ducks in a row
Then I'm pulling the trigger
I'm pulling the trigger
