Dancing Through The Mental Breakdown

(альбом: Infinitely Tall - 2022)

You had a mental breakdown
When the waiter brought you something you didn't order
I took that as the final indication
That you need to leave New York
(Get the fuck outta here)
City rent had sucked you dry
So you sublet your self worth
Just to survive
We think poetry's pretentious
Yet we scribble down our lyrics
And think it's so different cos we sing em
(I don't know)

So don't say you wanna move to Berlin
When you never heard Autobahn
Front to back
Don't tell me that you wanna go home
When you've hated your hometown since high school
And don't tell me that you wanna dance
When you know damn well
You got two left feet, baby
Oh shake your ass
You don't need feet for that

I said shake your ass
Before you have another panic attack
I said shake your ass
I know you wanna but you can't look back

I had a mental breakdown
At the shoegaze show at Space Camp
You said keep drinking
(Well alright)
Her profile said she's a Communist
Upon asking her in person
She had nothing to say, nothing to say, nothing to say about it

Fenders lack distortion
As she quotes the Manifesto
And suddenly Docs just aren't punk anymore
A few drinks in
She's playing us her album off of SoundCloud
And says it's 'bout the system
(Well, the revolution's gotta start somewhere, right?)

They said
"Don't say you wanna move to Detroit
You've never heard Fan-Tas-Tic, Vol. 2!"
(Go ladies)
Don't call yourself rock n roll
When all you sing about is bookstores and pretty girls
And don't argue with the folks at the club
When all you do is recite what you read on the 'gram, baby
Oh shake your ass
Ain't no app for that

I said shake your ass
Tik Tok goes crazy for that
I said shake your ass
I know you wanna but you can't look back

That's right
