lyrics
Runnin my rules through the jaw machines
I can give the devil five in a grayscale scene
Pointless tune out the blues guitar playin
Just writin down what she was sayin
Crooked tin table fall on the floors
Acid folk laughin back behind the door
I could use a lift to the uptown end where the losers hope and delusions bend
Drifter jailbait totally naïve gropin for aces up in my sleeve
Spades and clubs, yeah, shovels and bars
These eyes gotta lie all past the par
Phantom plastic vision false, complete chaotic plasma waltz
Scrapin change and changing sides
Thrift store reject hitchin rides
Uptown siren, uptown siren, uptown siren, uptown siren
A total ripoff trashcan riff stuck in neutral on the edge of a cliff
Obviously tailored redundant vowels echoes of familiar howls
Fuck it I’m a junked-out jaded guest, a non-promoted solitary best
There’s still time before you can score the game and I could hardly spell her name
Uptown siren, uptown siren, uptown siren, uptown siren
I can give the devil five in a grayscale scene
Pointless tune out the blues guitar playin
Just writin down what she was sayin
Crooked tin table fall on the floors
Acid folk laughin back behind the door
I could use a lift to the uptown end where the losers hope and delusions bend
Drifter jailbait totally naïve gropin for aces up in my sleeve
Spades and clubs, yeah, shovels and bars
These eyes gotta lie all past the par
Phantom plastic vision false, complete chaotic plasma waltz
Scrapin change and changing sides
Thrift store reject hitchin rides
Uptown siren, uptown siren, uptown siren, uptown siren
A total ripoff trashcan riff stuck in neutral on the edge of a cliff
Obviously tailored redundant vowels echoes of familiar howls
Fuck it I’m a junked-out jaded guest, a non-promoted solitary best
There’s still time before you can score the game and I could hardly spell her name
Uptown siren, uptown siren, uptown siren, uptown siren
