Story Behind the Song
Lyrics
Look at you, you're beautiful tonight
I'm so glad that you're here
Let me bluff it, pretend it's alright
I'll try not to get too near
Hold my hand and put that smile on, we're both acting
Entertaining all who look upon this re-enacting
This isn't clever, this sure ain't wise
My mind is like a flood
This whole endeavour's such a surprise
Well here I am - young blood
I cannot see this lasting very long
I don't see it at all
Such a stupid thing that I have done
I feel kind of appalled
Don't look at me with that wooden gaze
Let me hold you
I can't be a part of this malaise
No one told you
This isn't clever, this sure ain't wise
My mind is like a flood
This whole endeavour's such a surprise
Well here I am - young blood
This isn't clever, this sure ain't wise
My mind is like a flood
This whole endeavour's such a surprise
Well here I am - young blood
She's been down this avenue before
Bought the t-shirt but she still wants more
She is fuelled by her experience
Danger aside, you know in the end she is gone
Neither of us looked that far ahead
There wasn't any point
Everything that could be said is said
I'm out of wounds to anoint
Give me strength because I'm weakening
I'm not healthy
Black Russian governs my evening
I'm so filthy
This isn't clever, this sure ain't wise
My mind is like a flood
This whole endeavour's such a surprise
Well here I am - young blood
This isn't clever, this sure ain't wise
My mind is like a flood
This whole endeavour's such a surprise
Well here I am - young blood
Harrowing, blackening
My only dream is weakening
Harrowing, blackening
My only dream is weakening
