Ashtray

I lay on a cloud
I walk on a crane
I slide down on a drain-pipe
I sit in an ashtray

On her heart there's six tattoos
Way too young but their love was true
Why is it more thrilling when it cannot be
Indie music on the TV

I still see his sister in the window
Vampire Weekend; the smell of rain
Apparently, I'm no different
Hickey in her neck at school

What does that tattoo mean?

That whole summer was a blur
Have you ever had a glass of wine for breakfast?
The piece of paper of his therapy
I just made it all worse

Waiting and waiting and
Faith and faith and
A waterfall of tears and rain and rain and
I cannot seem to explain
I ain't no psychic, right?

I lay on a cloud
I walk on a crane
I slide down on a drain-pipe
I sit in an ashtray

So miserable
The dishes were never done
And we had the most fun
That's all I have to say about that tattoo

What does that tattoo mean?

The world was a different place
In five square meters
The room was filled with smoke
I don't know, let's call it a phase

A warm day, the doctor's office
I got a text out of the blue
He sat beside me on the bus
I'll never forget, the line in the yearbook

Why they do
Why do they
Keep making the same mistakes?
The calls with my sister
It was a gloomy time to be alone

I lay on a cloud
I walk on a crane
I slide down on a drain-pipe
I sit in an ashtray

I lay on a cloud
I walk on a crane
I slide down on a drain-pipe
I sit in an ashtray

Yeah, that is my new tattoo
The least painful to get
The only one in colour
Yes, I really wanted to
The least painful to get
The only one in colour
Yeah, that is my new tattoo
The least painful to get
The only one in colour
Yes, I really wanted to
The least painful to get
The only one in colour
