Shrine To Fast Goodbyes Lyrics - Emily Haines

Drinks aside, it's time we tried to stay somewhere 

Take my only souvenir, hold it up high, toss it off the roof 

If it should break, tell me how it sounds when it lands 

Steal Time when there isn't enough 

Turn the wheel, I'm backing it up 

Don't feel old, hope I'm backing up 

Don't feel old 

Bloodshot eye, a ringing in the left ear 

1975 ringing in my right ear 

Our simple rules failed eachother 

We're close to used to being wrong 

Now it's gone get undressed, feeling hopeless 

Work weary world, see no sign of relief 

Still I find time to complain of a shortage 

while the excess collects at their feet 

We're close to used to being wrong 

Now it's gone, get undressed, feeling hopeless 

Work weary world, see no sign of relief 

Still I find time to complain of a shortage 

while the excess collects at their feet 

Always say that we will, but we don't 

Always say that we did, when we did nothing 

Drinks aside, the day today is the monotone 

Now there's nowhere left to go 

Build a shrine to fast goodbyes 

What's the mistake? 

Steal Time when there isn't enough 

Turn the wheel, I'm backing it up 

Don't feel old, hope I'm backing up 

Don't feel old 

Bloodshot eye, a ringing in the left ear 

1975 ringing in my right ear 

Our simple rules failed eachother 

We're both reduced to being wrong 

Here and it's gone get undressed, feeling hopeless 

Work weary world, see no sign of relief 

Still they find time to complain of a shortage 

while the excess collects at their feet 

Above, the sun rising late hasn't set yet 

Work weary world, too tired now to ever sleep 

From watching you all complain of a shortage 

while the excess collects at your feet
