Bruised Arcade - The Pale Fountains

Remember the time when you thought too much and I told you what to think

You don’t think that way, that’s all right by me

The sun was beating, defeating, repeating and all the time I wanted to know

your face

And not your name for a while

Well, your mama’s gone and your papa’s dead and I need to be beside your head

For a week or two, maybe three

And your hair in front of your sunglassed eyes reminds me of a time

When I knew my place, my size for a while

Running in the night without a light, got to go, got a gun, got a wife right by

me

Running in the night without a light, got to go, got a gun, got a wife right by

me

Your current form of insecure leaves me standing out for more

I tried my best to pass your test

And for a while I forced a smile, I know it wasn’t much

But anything’s enough for you

I don’t want to wait, anticipate, celebrate before I hate

I think I like you

And if it’s only for a while, I’ll see if I can force a smile

For you if not for me

Running in the night without a light, got to go, got a gun, got a wife right by

me

Running in the night without a light, got to go, got a gun, got a wife right by

me

Wait for a while, see how it goes

Have you been to the bruised arcade?

You know it’s ever, ever making me blind

The sun’s in my eyes, it’s telling me lies

And, God, you’re a long time following

Wait for a while

Sun sun sun sun sun is in my eyes

Sun sun sun sun sun sun sun sun sun

The sun’s in my eyes and it’s making me blind

The sun’s in my eyes and it’s making me blind

The sun’s in my eyes and it’s making me blind

The sun, the sun is in my eyes

The sun, the sun is in my eyes
