strangers, now. Lyrics

Quarter past two in that Sunday morning flow

I was drinking that thingymajiggy oh

The one with the colourful tap that makes a hipster glow

The pool tables static my feet should really take a note

Charlie said to me I should watch out for the after show

The one with the agony skull and the stinging throat

But perched on the roof of my mind was something rigged to blow

We're way past that point, now

But you turn to me and you tell me

I've really got to go now

A couple years you'll find out

How you'd be if you made changes

Just five more minutes and we'll be strangers

You said you've got to go now

So that you can find out

How you'll be when you make changes

It's for the best that we be strangers, now

I shrugged it off cos what were you on about?

Certain things you say in a drunken bout

You can't trust a thing that comes out a thirsty mouth

I carried on with the night until it slowed down

I laid on the grass and inhaled some

Tried to wrap my head round the outcome

Where is all the excitement when the day comes?

Where is all the life?

Till I recalled when you told me

I've really got to go now

A couple years you'll find out

How you'd be if you made changes

Just five more minutes and we'll be strangers

You said you've got to go now

So that you can find out

How you'll be when you make changes

It's for the best that we be strangers, now
