lyrics

first everything and now this
i think it's cute we tried to make it through christmas
have you ever seen your sister drinking rum like that?
drinking rum like that

last week at the salvation army
i saw my old bomber jacket that outgrew me
and i wanted it back coz i'm dumb like that
coz i'm dumb like that

do you remember the time
when we were born to win?
i could die in your arms--
that's how bored i've been
there's a creek that carries roses
down the creases of my brain
where our love was left
like a furby in the rain

my money's no good
in fact i'm a criminal in my neighbourhood
but this is your hometown;
is there a friend or two that i get to keep?

you cry when i'm near
and I say 'don't stop; we're getting somewhere'
for in order that the willow should weep
the roots must be deep

do you remember the time
when we were born to win?
i could die in your arms--
that's how bored i've been
good news is that the diagnosis
deems the dosage stays the same
our love was left
like a furby in the rain

i know you're used to the excuses
this time i'd rather just explain
how our love was left
like a furby in the rain
