intro: riff x2
Waitress has a look upon her face that says sheâs torn
She smokes cheap menthol cigarettes, wears scars of Forgone wars
Away cross the enemy lines in this passenger seat.
Riff x1
Sheâll make it home in time to see you rise
She will just selfishly sit there and wait for you to save her life

Riff x1
She holds her steering wheel and drives us round this place
I know that sheâs not saying much cause silence makes brave as we,
Listen to radio news about how Englandâs lost its faith
Riff x1
Sheâll spend her days avoiding preachers on the street sheâs that
Unholy radical, nameless body breached in this,
Unfriendly action of avoiding things that she donât wanna know
riff x1
Sheâll make it home in time to see you rise
She will just selfishly sit there and wait for you to save her life
riff x1
Your eyes are dead, youâre body just divides home, so cold
And you wait, youâre so much colder and this is the evening weâve spent
And Iâll never know what she meant
But bodies of water and old cold beds and this is the evening
riff x2
Sheâll spend her days avoiding preachers on the street sheâs that
Unholy radical, nameless body breached in this,
Unfriendly action of avoiding things that she donât wanna know
Riff x2
