Pink Water Pistols lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I talk to myself, I know somebody's listening

My mirror a casting director auditioning

Running my lines, I'm increasingly wistful

A mock execution, a pink water pistol

And if I had five minutes on earth with you left

I would keep playing dead until you were impressed

So that I'd not make promises I couldn't keep anymore

[Chorus]

I've been working on my mind's interior design

Tryna give this place a little light

Sometimes it feels like I just can't get anything right

But I'd sit in a windowless room every day

Tryna see everything through

If I thought it would give me a panoramic view of you

[Verse 2]

When digital gangsters were stealing your innocence

I put an order in just to show insolence

Then they got caught and I felt like a failure

So loved you so loud, they could hear in Australia

And then I had five minutes on earth with you left

But I kept playing dead until you were impressed

So that I'd not make promises I couldn't keep anymore

[Chorus]

I've been working on my mind's interior design

Tryna give this place a little light

Sometimes it feels like I just can't get anything right

But I'd sit in a windowless room every day

Tryna see everything through

If I thought it would give me a panoramic view of you

[Bridge]

Every inch of you built like the Mecca

Bacon, secret sauce, cheese, double-decker

You're the best thing they've got on the menu

Want you while you're still warm

Want you so much that it's become the norm

[Chorus]

I've been working on my mind's interior design

Tryna give this place a little light

Sometimes it feels like I just can't get anything right

But I'd sit in a windowless room every day

Tryna see everything through

If I thought it would give me a panoramic view of you

[Outro]

Remember that night taking Mexican ecstasy?

Codeine, corrido and crashing out next to me

Can't call a cab and I can't read your reply

The Tower of London cut off my free Wi-Fi

So now we've got five minutes on earth with them left

Let's just keep playing dead until they are impressed

So that we won't make promises we cannot keep anymore
