Pickup Lyrics

Pickup lyrics

We’re common whores and we’re clean-shaven

But not on your command

And some of us will seem a twat

Depraved of the comfort of common sense



So I sit and I think about my fall

I wasn’t cut out to fit the larger mold

And what I could and should have done, I don’t know

But I guess I had my chance and I guess I had my time

And as I turn my back to the city tonight



I smile, cause it’s all right

And I smile, cause there’s no more need to fight

And the road’s wide open, the world is mine

Starting tonight



In the back of this truck I watch the skyline grow small

I never set out to break relationships at all

And what came over me I still don’t know

But I guess I should’ve known and I guess I could have lied

But as I turn my back at the city tonight



I smile, cause it’s all right

And I smile, cause there’s no more need to fight

And the road’s wide open, the world is mine

Starting tonight



Can’t follow, can’t take the pace

Can’t allow myself to run the race



We’re common whores and we’re clean shaven

But not on your demand

And you can call us what you like

The likes of us will only smile



I smile, cause it’s all right

And I smile, cause there’s no more need to fight

And the road’s wide open, the world is mine

Starting tonight
