lyrics

She wants an umbrella, two cherries and a straw
He wanted everthing, the girl, the house , the car
And here we are now just sittting at the bar

Momma said be good my son and good things they will come
She just liked saying things that are easier said than done
And here we are now in the same old place
Here we are now falling from grace

And we don't even know who we are anymore
Pile on the smiley faces just to hide the scars
And oh it seems like happiness is just so far away so here we stay

The band plays out of time and nearly out of tune
And no-one cares now 'cos nothing's really new
Buy me a drink and I will pray for me and you
Find me a god now 'cos god knows any one will do

And here we are just sittting at the bar
Here we are now, we didn't get too far

And we don't even know who we are anymore
Pile on the smiley faces just to hide the scars
And oh it seems like happiness is just so far away so here we stay
