lyrics

oh i used to be cruel just to make you laugh
the bus ride costs a euro and a half
and the tourists never know you're making fun of them
there are good people in this town, but i'm not one of them

i point and i giggle just to myself
i drank to good fortune, i drank to your health
and i kept drinking
i don't like who i am these days
and i kept thinking
on the late bus home is a long ways away

some nights i end up sleeping at the station
but i make the best of each such situation
i got a pillow i keep in my backpack anyhow
if you laughed before, well baby, you should see me now

i toss and turn the whole night
mumble in my sleep
when you burn instead of sowing fields
all that you can reap
is wild destruction
and all the desolation that comes after
but i could function
if i could conjure up the true shape of your laughter
what comes after
what comes after?
