lyrics

There’s a pleasant field up in the hills
where cold bodies watch the valley burn
in their castles made of sticks and stones
horns of plenty never emptied out
Hours and hours go to waste
in wasteful showers

It’s a pleasant field up in the hills
where the grass is long and beautiful
Eyelashes never bat until
someone sunburnt wanders up a gated drive
Keep clear of the windows and close the blinds
We can’t have nice things

Life burns symphonic like a razor in the sun
with a freeway for its laces
Chaos masquerades as fun
Put your top down and drive all night
in a while you’ll never hurt again
Smile ‘cause it’s all pretend
There’s a stain across the sunset, but Monica don’t care
and the ocean of the hopeless
never messes up her hair
The whole world loves you and swallows down
all your brilliance in a single breath
You’ll be dancin’ ’til you got none left

Such a pleasant field up in the hills
walk forever never touching down
resting on laurels in the canyon
Let’s abandon giving up the crown
Kings aren’t made here, they’re born
and good at hiding

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
