Staring at the Stars (Acoustic) Lyrics

Tobacco stains our yellow teeth
And all our fingers and underneath
Our fingernails, that clasp on sheets
As we try desperately to sleepHearts are sad and eyes are tired
And all this Red Bull keeps us wired
Gives us wings
It gives us rings around our eyesWe put three sugars in our tea
Sit to watch too much day time TV
And laugh at mums
Who don't know who the father isAnd all our girlfriends are long gone
We watch too much internet porn
Who needs love
When you've got silicone and strap onsAnd beer bloats our spoiled guts
And shit jobs keep us in ruts
And keep us eying up
The what's and ifs and buts and maybesAnd falling over in the street
Is just a part of every week
And we lie drunkenly

Just staring at the starsRemember when they were in reach
And all the teachers used to teach
You can do anything
If you put your mind to itWe put our minds to it all
But disappointment crashed the ball
We could have done anything
But we just never quite knew itSo tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
Tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold nightAnd tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
And tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold nightOh oh, so tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
And tie your scarf on tight
It's to be a cold night
