Matchbook and I

lyrics

Matchbook and I
Are strolling down the avenue.
I keep my head down
as to avoid the passer-bys.

Matchbook and I
It's been a rainy week, alright.
What is the point
of carrying wet phosphorus?

As for me,
I'm shifting underground.
Can't you see that
My lies are running out?

Matchbook and I,
We fail to keep ourselves dry.
I'll leave u behind
And find a better alibi.

As for me,
I'm feeling lost and found.
Can't you see that
my lives are running out?

and i'm not offended
that our days have ended, no.
i am feeling splendid
being unattended, oh.

there's no harm intended
but i just pretended it all.
and i'm not offended
that our days have ended, no.
