You For A While - Damien Jurado

These buildings, they all look the same

They are coffins with windows and doors

We all love to breathe in the flames

These buildings, they all look the same

They are coffins with windows and doors

We all love to breathe in the flames

So long as we aren’t burned alive

The telephone told us your name

Pretend to be you when I’m high

We all love to be someone else

So long as we aren’t given away

Woohoo (x3)

I borrowed your hands for a while

I started a band that broke up

The songs, they all sounded the same

No one thought that I was you

I pictured us both as the sky

The people below us were shooting us down

We’re taking the life from the stars

It’s never our turn to shine

Woohoo (x6)
