The Strike - The Lost Years

Painkillers

I watched your friends
Table three
Drinking away their jealousy

I watched your brother
Tryin' to hide
A case of wandering eyes

As your dad in the back spending money that he don't have
And your cousin in the front spending time with another man

And they're begging for painkillers
So we play the songs from when they were young, so they won't remember
That they're begging for painkillers
Aw yeah
So we play the songs from when they were young and we try to remember
We're playing the painkillers

Get on your feet
Let's start pretending
We'll be the soundtrack for the scene
Where reality
Plays the enemy
'Cause we're barely hanging on to the dream

Cast fate as the love that we're fighting for
We have it all and can still use a little more

And they're begging for painkillers
So we play the songs from when they were young, so they won't remember
That they're beggin for painkillers
Aw yeah
So we play the songs from when they were young and we try to remember
We're playing the painkillers

Whoa!

Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
Tonight we're gonna dance

'Cause they're begging for painkillers
So we play the songs from when they were young, so they won't remember
That they're begging for painkillers
Aw yeah
So we play the songs from when they were young and we try to remember
Let's all move to the painkillers

Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away (Tonight)
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
(We're playing the painkillers) Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away (Tonight)
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
(We're playing the painkillers) Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away (For the night)
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
(Let's move to the painkillers) Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away (Tonight)
Tonight we're gonna dance
Tonight we're gonna dance our pain away
