lyrics

The scoundrel leaped from the moonlit curb
caked in dirt from the ground he had escaped
From commitments and irony
dreams of family harmony
With his cloak at his feet
and his bounty a companion

Left you there stood in the doorway of the house he had broken
Left you there stood in the doorway

People came and people left
more fashions than you could count flashed before your eyes
Oh, what a big surprise
They left you in tears, alone with your fears
January, promise me, this will be a better year
But you'll say it's alright

Where do I begin to search for substance
in a land of designer showrooms, in a world made to sell to tourists
A nightmare I once had went quite like this, I'm sure of it
An angsty boy in a suit and tie
Running alone down the motorway tonight

People came and people left
more fashions than you could count flashed before your eyes
Oh, what a big surprise
They left you in tears, alone with your fears
January, promise me, this will be a better year
But you'll say it's alright
until you run into the night

What say we never find ourselves?
What say ten years isn't long enough?
What say we never find ourselves
but tonight ain't long enough to worry about that

From daddy issues to love lost and found, THC Dreams has a finger on the throbbing, meaty pulse of a disenfranchised, apathetic sect of society. ... more
