Death & Taxes

from Us & Your Friends by Saint James

/

lyrics

three whole years since I've been to this place
between the lines I bent
good times we spent not feeling my face
good riddance to the plans that we had made
while collapsing lungs in basements create a disgrace

well, the fact is: death & taxes
you're no one's darling anymore
they tried so hard to change the score
if I'm on my own, that much is fine
but I can't decide if I'm on my way out

it's funny how fast a decade can pass
when you spend it all walking around with your eyes and ears shut
half in the bag; one foot in an early grave
if this ain't big enough for both of us
you be alone, and I'll be brave

well, the fact is: death & taxes
you're no one's darling anymore
they tried so hard to change the score
if I'm on my own, that much is fine
but I can't decide if I'm on my way out

strange how fast your memories pass
when you use 'em making sure that your eyes remain shut
dispose of the trash, savor what can be saved
so if this ain't big enough for both of us
you be alone, and I'll be brave

well, the fact is: death & taxes
you're no one's darling anymore
they tried so hard to change the score
if I'm on my own, that much is fine
but I can't decide if I'm on my way out
