What You Live By Lyrics - Harvey Danger

Meet me up on ninety-nine 

Beneath the Marco Polo sign 

I'll be the one with a box of wine 

And a hundred dollar car 

We could talk about the lives we've led 

And count the reasons we're not dead 

Or maybe we could talk instead 

About the ways in which we are 

Always nothing or too much to say 

Only so many sides of the record to play 

And the song that got stuck in my head 

Said you die by what you live by 

You will die by what you live by 

You will die by what you live by, every time 

Like carnivores to carnal pleasures 

So will we to desperate measures 

Melting into stagnate puddles 

Beat down by the sun 

I went to school, I didn't stay 

Spoke right up when I had nothing good to say 

And I said it to anyone who would listen 

Lay me down in the bed that I made 

Starved for sleep by the shrill serenade 

Singing over and over 

You die by what you live by 

You will die by what you live by 

You will die by what you live by, every time 

You die by what you live by 

You will die by what you live by 

You will die by what you live by, every time
