Breadwinners 04:06
breadwinners i followed you into the crazy night you were lost and frightened when she opened the door we got enough time we got too much time you had a plan to get ourselves out of this she was blind to our needs when she opened the door we got enough time (the door) we got too much time (the door) you’ll never see and you will never go there you’ll never see you’ll never see me there you tricked her to open up the door and pushed her into the flames and led us into the crazy night oh what a fright it was wake up -- it’s time we got outside (she couldn’t see me) and ran far far away (i could not sleep for weeks) candy cannot subside this hunger

i gotta million clothes i like to wear and if you tell me where i’ll meet you there but if you tell me not to wear that shirt, i’ll say no i’m like a picture in a magazine well, i’m the boy and i’m the girl of your dreams but if you tell me not to cut my hair, i’ll say no let’s get together, feel free we’re not as different as you want us to be we’re not like ebony and ivory we’re more like hot pink, with a touch of green you cannot name us can’t explain us cause we’re famous for being shameless so if you want to dance with me all night long you don’t have to claim bottom or top we can make love standing up and I don’t worry about the government they only care if you can pay the rent and you can shoot your guns inside your private home. my doctor told me not to stress out to much cause there’s a family out there waiting for us and you can come back home as late as you like you say you want me to be free (i win wars, drive big cars, date big stars) but i can’t stand you, can’t understand you (explore mars, drink at bars, go to bars) you say you want to marry me (get my rocks off after work) but it’s not legal (i get home off the phone, watch tv, go to sleep) we have to fight the flight of the eagle (i wake up) and the night is so lonely! i can’t win if you can’t lose! you know we’re in love standing up (i’m in love)

you slipped me lsd i don’t remember waking up but i remember going to sleep you read me oh, pioneers! i fell into a prarie and i cried dusty tears oh, willa! the clouds are coming down they’re turning into coyotes and they’re running me out of town but i worked my fingers to the bone i tidied up his tiny home i read love letters by the light of the full moon and i won’t be home too soon i’ve gone to old town mexico i came back with party hats and i can put on such a show i’ll leave you if you won’t leave me i’ll turn and walk away and i’ll remember everything i’ve got to do what i must do but trust me baby i will always care for you put a bullet in my head you won’t be sorry when i’m dead was it something that i said, i won’t be sorry when i’m dead there is a place that we call home we won’t be sorry when we’re gone
