Default Blues

Intro: (x2) Verse: 1 Turn off the light bulb ache to a shrieking pain Turn that hair into a haircut and change your name Through the yellow teeth white lies are told Of the notches made in the house of smoke So pick the padlocked case in the padlocked room Wipe the smile from your face and sing the default blues And go What are you running from, a-ha What are you running from, ahh The past may die but it's never gone What are you running from, ahh Instrumental (x2) Verse: 2 This is textbook heartbreak from the country school The prescription sculpture of a thoughtless stool You've got your heroin monologues that you lifted from books Now you're wearing a helmet whilst you're breaking the rules Pick the padlocked case in the padlocked room Wipe the smile from your face and sing the default blues It goes What are you running from, a-ha What are you running from, ahh The past may die but it's never gone What are you running from, ahh What are you running from, a-ha What are you running from, ahh The accent you hid behind is gone What are you running from, ahh Bridge There isn't a cure, there isn't a cure There isn't a cure Save your wax world torture for your modeling friends Speak emotional trash straight from Zimmerman's bin Pick the padlocked case in the padlocked room Wipe the smile from your face and sing the default blues It goes What are you running from, a-ha What are you running from, ahh The accent you hid behind is gone What are you running from, ahh What are you running from, a-ha What are you running from, ahh The past may die but it's never gone What are you running from, ahh
