Strychnine - Floater

I dreamed I saw the ocean and you upon the shore

I knew you were waiting to feel something more

I said, «All of this is ours my love

Come and swim into my stars my love.»

And we walked into the joint like we owned the place

And we learned to hold our heads up high in disgrace

Laughing from the power lines, racing through the landmines

Never a moment of doubt, dancing through the slaughterhouse

Stumbling through pleasures much too fast

White knuckle that golden and strychnine past

Youth is just a treasure that won’t last

We recklessly ran, so much stronger than

The places we’d gone or the waves we rode upon

And we shined on despite all the laws

And we poured our guts into the cause

And we learned all that burns cannot last

Stumbling through our borders much too fast

White knuckle that golden and strychnine past

Youth is just a torture that won’t last

Stumbling through pleasures much too fast

White knuckle that golden and strychnine past

Youth is one of many tortures that won’t last
