down for the law - dark tea lyrics

down for the law lyrics
i. singing happy birthday to a relative
one last ride on the catwalk until the signal fades
i know i can be weary, it happens all the time
it’s just what happens when the mirror breaks, you got to school on time
you lost your independence on that day
i’m not leaving but i’m not gonna stay

another bill you wracked up with a wrecking ball
the crew’s coming for the camera, the group photo opp
you’re making him real nervous, you’re meeting the baselines
one more fault and the crew comes back to collеct on the interest filеd
return to the problems stored at home
expired fruit and the freezer’s barely cold
i’m not leaving but i’m not coming home

so you take for granted the gratuity
it can’t hurt a generation to be dignified
who are they to judge * there’s no hapless plan
i just plant the evidence, interference with a one*armed man
did you put your soul back up for sale?
i’m not leaving but i’m breaking promises

ii. some people want day jobs or material things
some people want barbecues and go to ball games
i think of sleeping dogs under bridges and diamond rings
i think of sleeping dogs under bridges and human suffering
we’re going up and up and over the wall
reaching down under the counter for the gun
the teller was just 21 and he told me his name
i said “john, let’s leave this astral plane”
my partner took his life down for no reason
my partner took his life down with no motive
we’re going down for the law
iii. when our souls met in the white light
it blinded my eyes like the surface of the sun
now i’m sitting there as a young boy at ihop
singing “jonny what have i done?”
hurtling through sp*ce towards all that rainbow and white light
in sp*ce no one can hear you scream
they can’t hear you over the river of tailpipes
and i’m still waiting on my dollar silver five

but is it ever really over
like really really over
the answer is no
nothing ever ends
and you still can’t hear me over the rush of the cars
coming up to the gates now

i said “john is the the afterlife?”
he said “gare, there is no after, only life”
