The Corner Lyrics - The Third Three Years - Frank Turner

Out on the corner of what I want, and what I intend to get 

day drinking and dreaming of you, I let 

the ashtray smoke my last cigarette 

Once I had a casual acquaintance with my impending doom 

years ago she promised me some day soon 

I'd howl at the moon from room to room 

I ain't transcending much of nothing 

I've been down in it, I ain't free 

Weren't no experiment - these seven years they went 

like a life out of me

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Clowning on the corner of almost gone but maybe not just yet 

there's still a little left to pawn and the bones aren't set 

The cast is slack, the plaster's wet 

Stepping up the escalator singing hell I am out of here 

past the predetermined terminals of tears 

the wings are warm, the runway's clear 

I ain't transcending much of nothing 

I'm still down in it, I ain't free 

Weren't no experiment - these seven years they went 

like a life out of me 

Maybe all the world's a hollow recreation, my desperate bretheren 

hallowed blue hallucination we play to win 

put your right foot out, put your right foot in 

But it's a useful little illusion that'll lose you for a song 

in the beautiful confusion you've been down and counting on 

and it's a useful little illusion that'll lose you for a song 

in the beautiful confusion that you've been down and counting on

I ain't transcending nothing 

I'm still down in it, I ain't free 

weren't no experiment - hell every tear was ran 

like a life out of me 

Out on the corner what I want, what I intend to get 

day drinking and dreaming of you, I let 

the ashtray smoke my last cigarette
