Hopeless Melody

Burning bright, still watching the river rise
With a casual misery
Biding time, destroy yourself leisurely
To the hopeless melody

Knocking about with Le Cas Social in my town
Kicking around with the ones who know they'll never get out
Staring at the photographs of the homes for sale
While the dogs fight down where the homeless crowd
Telling yourself there's an easy way out

Hanging around with Le Cas Social
Feeling beat down
Sticking it out 'cause it's too late now to be anywhere else
Checking if the cash machine might heed your prayers
But the likelihood is that no one cares how it feels to be

Burning bright, still watching the river rise
With a casual misery
Biding time, destroy yourself leisurely
To the hopeless melody

Bopping around with Le Cas Social cracking up now
Haunting the town 'cause they feel so proud to be out of this realm

Well open your windows
See how the wind blows
Through your time

Burning bright, still watching the river rise
With a casual misery
Biding time, destroy yourself leisurely
To the hopeless melody
