Lawrence Arms, The - Paradise Shitty Lyrics
Save a song for me to sing, boy, if I wanna play a song tonight
Is there something I could wail out if I wanna wail by candlelight?
I'm feeling sick
I'm feeling old
I'm feeling weak
Down in my knees
Down in my soul
In place of guts I've got a hole
Like everybody else I've ever known
Baby, this ain't home to me, no matter what they say
The grass is too damn green here and the hearts are dull and grey
So take me down to that city where the girls just look okay
It's about all I can take
I've stood too long in one place
Strap me to the station wagon roof and drive me out into the hills
It may sound like I'm screaming from the car but I'm just screaming from the thrill
I'm so alive
I'm so afraid
That I've been wasting what's left of these days
These days I feel with a cold heart
It's easier to keep it hard
Just grab your shit and meet me in the yard
Baby, this ain't home to me, no matter what they say
The grass is too damn green here and the hearts are dull and grey
So take me down to that city where the girls just look okay
It's about all I can take
I've stood too long in one place
Lollipop dreams and candycane waves
Are gonna hurt like hell when they crumble away
Because a beautiful youth hurts worst when it dies
A rotten reminder of the days we decided we'd rather go big and then rot away
We'd give into love and wind up castaways
We said "fuck all the old boring shits we've become"
So we hoarded our dreams and we burnt every one
And fuck me, man, I knew not what I'd done
Fuck us, man, we knew not what we'd done
Man, we were just having some fun
Baby, this ain't home to me, no matter what they say
The grass is too damn green here and the hearts are dull and grey
So take me down to that city where the girls just look okay
It's about all I can take
I've stood too long in one place

Lawrence Arms, The Paradise Shitty Comments
This entire record makes me think of my life in Pittsburgh.
This whole album is great. I'm so glad and amazed that they can keep putting out great stuff, time and time again.
Save a song for me to sing, boy, if I wanna play a song tonight
Is there something I could wail out if I wanna wail by candlelight?
I'm feeling sick
I'm feeling old
I'm feeling weak
I feel that snow
Down in my knees
Down in my soul
In place of guts I've got a hole
Like everybody else I've ever known
Baby, this ain't home to me, no matter what they say
The grass is too damn green here and the hearts are dull and grey
So take me down to that city where the girls just look okay
It's about all I can take
I've stood too long in one place
Strap me to the station wagon roof and drive me out into the hills
It may sound like I'm screaming from the car but I'm just screaming from the thrill
I'm so alive
I'm so afraid
That I've been wasting what's left of these days
These days I feel with a cold heart
It's easier to keep it hard
Just grab your shit and meet me in the yard
Baby, this ain't home to me, no matter what they say
The grass is too damn green here and the hearts are dull and grey
So take me down to that city where the girls just look okay
It's about all I can take

This song makes me feel things
Metropole doesn't have the same feel as previous TLA albums, but man does the songwriting make up for it.
Wow this song is phenomenal. At about 2:32 that shit gives me them chills!
+Edward James Haha, my chills started to go away (briefly) at 0:54. Such a damn good song.
this needs more views. beautiful song.
Yeah! This is awesome!
