Say what you want, then sleep right in. This life is long, and changing your ways won't change a thing by the end of it. So take what you want, and sleep it off; life's eight hours long. Never open your eyes. Maybe we die when we wake up.
But maybe I'm wrong and that's not what it is. But if it is, then I want in. I think that it's fine. But what do I know? That's just how I think when I'm high, so forget it. We're alright and it's night, and it's cold outside. Let's keep walking.
Say what you want about this town, but it's wearing out. I used to walk around at night and wear the scattered light just like a crown. But it's different now, there's so much pressure.
Remember: I know who you are, and how you'll end, and where you'll start, and what you're made of. And sister, I found what you were looking for, and I can take you with me.
Or stay - I'm pretty sure it makes no difference at all. You'll be the same as you were yesterday, and I'm changing all the time.
But what do I know? That's just how I think when I'm high, so forget it. We're alright and it's night, and it's cold outside. Let's keep walking.
