Champagne For My Real Friends, Real Pain For My Sham Friends Lyrics
Fall Out Boy
Lyrics
You are a getaway car
A rush of blood to the head
But me, I'm just the covers on top of your bed
You steer in a rear view mirror
You make my head swim
I'll keep you warm and won't ask you where you've been
With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, yeah, we're friends
Just because we move units
Strike us like matches, 'cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
The sounds of this small town make my ears hurt
Oh yeah, you caught me, but I caught you way worse
They say, "You want a war? You've got a war"
But who are you fighting for?
Tides out, the ship's run aground
We drown traitors in shallow water
With your backless black dress soaked to the skin
When it's said and done they're all scrambling
And we're friends, yeah, we're friends
Just because we move units
Strike us like matches, 'cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
Everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame
Such a shame
Strike us like matches, 'cause everyone deserves the flames
We only do it for the scars and stories, not the fame
At least everyone is trying, everyone is shining
Everyone deserves the flames but it's such a shame.
