lyrics

We get more condescending as we get more dependent.
We turn into our parents. I've got a fear of flying.
Not looking for the exit, but that sign is always shining-
in the middle of a dark room you can always find it.
I never could go- not halfway through the show.
I watch the final credits. We turn into our parents.
I read the newsletters, I trust the bellwethers.
All of this can't be forever.

Expectations will not give you what you need.
Expectations. No need to bleed.

The yard has overgrown. The tangled garden hose.
What do you expect from a heart obsessed with growing old?
We plan for rainy days, we plant on Saturdays.
Still I find you lying face first in the back of an alley way.
Your Mum is Valerie- so why don't she come on over?
Has anybody ever told you you look like your mother?
I'm trying to think but this pen just won't allow.
We just keep running out of ink now.

Expectations will not give you what you need.
Expectations. No need to bleed.

You can get it if you can forget it.
Cold blooded and we're so hot headed lately.
