lyrics

My friends are wrapped in bramble / he don't know how to gamble /
he only knows how to ramble / and so his shit is in shambles /

he sinks down to the bottom of the ice pool /
where his blackberry face lays to rest /
what were the last thoughts that went through the mind of a fool /
as the cold drink filled his chest /

he said why was I so besotted with the thought of being caught /
did it seem rock n' roll it wasn't cool /
and if I hadn't had to flaunt it with that shit that I had bought /
would I be drowning here in this ice pool

You understood your gamble / you read all the preamble /
and you made sure to sample / the life you couldn't handle /

where was your genius when you knew you should run /
but you couldn't bear to leave it behind /
why should your wife be sat here drinking all your gin /
all I wanna do is rewind /

why were you so besotted with the thought of being caught /
did it seem rock n roll it wasn't cool /
and if you hadn't had to flaunt it with that shit you had bought /
would I be sitting here on this bar stool /

My job is to untangle / to work all the angles /
and then I have to strangle / the guy I'm supposed to handle /

he sank down to bottom of the ice pool /
where his blackberry face laid to rest /
why what the last thoughts that went through the mind of a fool /
as the purple seeped from his chest /

why was he so besotted with the thought of being caught /
did it seem rock n roll it wasn't cool /
and if he hadn't had to flaunt it with that shit that he bought /
would have have bleed out there in that ice pool /

[twiddly guitar]
