Curtain Calls On Walkabouts Lyrics - Singles - For Our Hero

I wished away the bloody nose 

Covered up the bruises 

Sure I have my doubts but fathers so proud 

He pats me on the back and sits me down 

Says good boy, you blew them out all by yourself 

The school-yards changing, 

(keep you blurry) 

The fist-fights samey 

(an headached heads a rolling) 

Im throwing punches 

Your drop-drop-droping again 

Put tickets on me 

Ill only keepem to fly us home 

The mic rings hollow: 

Thisll be my year 

Check me in 

The curtain-calls on walkabouts 

Most of us are on the bench 

Just itching to get back in 

Give us something to write home about 

Before I bluff another get-well to myself 

Tell mama im a dreamer, 

And father im a sinner 

Dont bother with the in betweens 

Fell in love with the lazy winners, 

Kickin back our teens 

Put tickets on me 

Ill only keepem to fly us home 

The mic rings hollow 

Thisll be my year 

Check me in 

The curtain-calls on walkabouts 

Most of us are on the bench 

Just itching to get back in 

Da da da da da 

Put tickets on me 

Ill only keepem to fly us home 

The mic rings hollow 

Thisll be my year 

Check me in 

The curtain-calls on walkabouts 

Most of us are on the bench 

Just itching to get back in.
