Life Can Be Long
I used to wander Halsey
Backwards in the bike lane
Had afternoon for breakfast
And loitered in parades
Then a symphony of sirens
Wailed inside my brain
And all my lines escaped me
The curtain collapsed on the stage
(Ah) Tell me this do I exist
Or am I just bearing witness
To some god whose got some mill to grist (Ah)
Please end this confusion soon
I can't get out of my living room
All I see is doom and gloom and tombs (Ah)
Life can be long when you don't belong here
Now I'm kneeling for the masses
That call for heads to roll
If it's sacrifice they're after
Well I'm grateful for the role
The dizziness of freedom
Churns like a tilt a whirl
No effervescent tablet or eucharist
Could keep me from needing to hurl
(Ah) Mount me to a crucifix
Just so people know that I exist
And I'll relish in their boos and hisses (Ah)
Wafting through the muggy air
I smell popcorn, whiskey, and despair
Smiling on the electric chair (Ah)
Life can be long when you don't belong here
So long
If I could do it over
I'd savor every miss
Build statues of my juries
Save my pennies and ditch the wish
I would yodel in the mountain
I would battle in the dome
I would wander on forever
And always feel at home
Life can be long when you don't belong here
Backwards in the bike lane
Had afternoon for breakfast
And loitered in parades
Then a symphony of sirens
Wailed inside my brain
And all my lines escaped me
The curtain collapsed on the stage
(Ah) Tell me this do I exist
Or am I just bearing witness
To some god whose got some mill to grist (Ah)
Please end this confusion soon
I can't get out of my living room
All I see is doom and gloom and tombs (Ah)
Life can be long when you don't belong here
Now I'm kneeling for the masses
That call for heads to roll
If it's sacrifice they're after
Well I'm grateful for the role
The dizziness of freedom
Churns like a tilt a whirl
No effervescent tablet or eucharist
Could keep me from needing to hurl
(Ah) Mount me to a crucifix
Just so people know that I exist
And I'll relish in their boos and hisses (Ah)
Wafting through the muggy air
I smell popcorn, whiskey, and despair
Smiling on the electric chair (Ah)
Life can be long when you don't belong here
So long
If I could do it over
I'd savor every miss
Build statues of my juries
Save my pennies and ditch the wish
I would yodel in the mountain
I would battle in the dome
I would wander on forever
And always feel at home
Life can be long when you don't belong here
