I Heard You Laughing

from Little Windows Cut Right Through by Aloha

/

lyrics

on a silver serving platter
a pair of sharpened Blackwings go
all the smallest details matter
when the trade is all you know
A kept man should keep his station
run in place with no regrets
fending off would-be replacements
but it hasn't happened yet
you're the prizefighter in lycra
always champion the weak
gotta live like a contestant,
all they ever do is cheat

when you were young, you ran through the night
somehow the baton was never passed
left all alone, in the fluorescent light
you never knew, because you never asked

it is what it is. it was what it was
he said what he said
"kill the head and the body's goes dead"

i can hear them through the cracks
asking for your autograph
i hear them laughing that's
another 8 x 10 in the trash
you're the prizefighter in lycra
always champion the weak
gotta live life uncontested
all they ever do is cheat

vacant looks are habit forming
town and country, hill and vale
never let them meet your maker
tell them hard work gets you there
when you rise above your station
run away and don't look back
gain a new set of frustrations
but it hasn't happened yet
