The older you get the more uncultured you become
I say you're like a lady from a H. Miller novel, but you didn't even have the good sense to be offended by it
And it was clear then:
Spring won't come together or sober
Beautiful people only bore me out
Suck on that cigarette but please, be quite
During an evening you can have many tries
At finding something that isn't mere air
Mothaf-cking row house, I could never do that
For some reason I'm not in a rush to die yet
Recycle love like you recycle trash
Wait for the pain to kick in
Then mail your notifications of change of address

That winter was different from other winters
You leave a scar different from other scars
All the ballads that touched you
I said I liked them, but really, they nauseated me
And "wife" sounds like a mortgage loan
I'm sorry but I'd rather "do an Edelman" and jump off a cruiser
But sorrowful looking women,
In my mind are sorrowful looking women
That winter was different from other winters
You leave a scar different from other scars
All the ballads that touched you
I said I liked them, but really, they nauseated me
And "wife" sounds like a mortgage loan
I'm sorry but I'd rather "do the Edelman" and jump off a cruiser
But sorrowful looking women,
Like a young Kristiina Halkola
Ya know what I mean?
[Verse 2]
Ville-Galle makes hits, Heikki (Kuula?) makes hits
But I'm still drinking up at the bar, my own tracks*
And why not
I'm fluent in BS
A lil bit of Helsinki slang, but poorly, yeah true
I wanted to learn how to talk* money
I'm from a different planet than the guys before me
But even before nothing was like before
Keith Richards on French Riviera is my mode
My story is all mixed up
It only ends when the punch bowl is empty
I'm not gonna wake up from a chair with my back straight
Some think about tomorrow, others think about drinking
Next year we both might be dead
I mean, at least you aren't getting any younger than that
And that's the most romantic thing I'll say all night
You can't light a fire with wet matches
This is how I view it
We're gonna die of mediocrity if we're not completely oblivious today
[Hook]
