lyrics

how i wanted to be dangerous
but i also want big business
raised up again like lazarus
like a suicidal mistress

now i want to be alone
just play Molina on the stereo
and hear the saddest songs i've ever known
but i'll never know

how i wanted to be tucked away
in the innocence of yesterday
on the car drive home from wild waves
melted ice cream on the freeway

but my heart is made of stone
and my mind is set on growing old
because there's a dark side to the holy ghost
the holy ghost

on the same day
that we're punching clocks with
terror in our eyes

there are strange ways
that our hearts will stop
it will take you by surprise

and i believe in time we'll waste away
like a lazy, rainy saturday
we'll build up courage to try cocaine
and pray for shit that just can't remain

because no one wants to be alone
no matter how hard the stomach groans
we're all just longing for the undertow
that sucks us underneath

oooh

Young Elk is Ezekiel J Rudick, Tony Reyes, Bruce Reed, and Nic Moen
