Forever Lasts For Nothing

Lyrics (unofficial)

Standing at the junction of two great highways
The post-industrial breeze
I must admit that things have gone a little awry
Aw, you can do what you please

You can please try, trying or start it into start [0:29]
Or get up off your knees
No one fucking cares about your broken heart
Or your slow release

Just like the honeymoon, they wait for you to score
Just like the animals they keep outside the door
Just like a welcome mat you lay down on the floor
Just like a law for the rich and a prison for the poor

I got a premonition, gonna need some ammunition
I'm gonna need to see
I got a little plan that I start acting like a man
And you can act like me

I got an igloo in the desert and a camel in the arctic
And the triplets make three
Forever lasts for nothing, man you better get something
Nothing gonna be free

Just like the honeymoon, they wait for you to score
Just like the animals they keep outside the door
Just like a welcome mat you lay down on the floor
Just like a law for the rich and prison for the poor
