Every Time I Look Up

from Grasshopper City by The Shrugs

/

lyrics

We were standing outside watching shooting stars
You said, “hang on baby, that’s not who you are”
And then I finally realized things are different now
I don’t have to pretend to be anybody else

We were standing knee-deep catching jellyfish
You said “if you catch one you can make a wish”
I wished for an end to all this busyness
Going round in circles causes dizziness

And every time I look up I see things that shouldn’t be up there
I see Lucifer and all his angels in the atmosphere
And every time I look up I see Jeanne Duval and Baudelaire
And every time I look up I see you there

I’ll be lying face down watching grass grow up
Round my rotting ribs and through my broken heart
And then I’ll finally realise this is who we are
Jellyfish corpses and a shooting star
