Boys

(앨범: Gloria Duplex - 2019)

Thought I was drowning in my bed
Couldn't get the moon out of my head
So I awoke before the break of day
And walked along the coast of Galway

Sitting at the boardwalk bar, drinking a whiskey
Feeling all the rage of a modern man
We used to feel our rage just like the sea
Now we get it on an installment plan

All my love
To you and yours
And all the baby boys, they're dressing them in blue
Teaching them that life's a war

I guess I'm a long way from where I was
Drunk off my ass in some suburban town
I betrayed my friend, nineteen and Darwinian
I'll never live that down
But I fell into a good girl's good graces
And I poured my heart right into hers
She's more an Artemis in muddy laces
Than a Venus in furs

All my love
To you and yours
And all the college boys, they're dressing up in suits
Thinking life's a war

Spring is coming
Let me be like cherry tree
Renewed and fruitful

All my love
To you and yours
And all the baby boys, they're dressing them in blue
Teaching them that life's a war

All my love
To you and yours
And all the college boys, they're dressing up in suits
Thinking life's a war
