Album:

Rabbits on the Run

Say you see through the folly
 But you do it for the fame
 And I'm fighting the jetstream
 Drinking cheap wine on airplanes
 You're in L.A. not Chicago
 Key under mat
 I walk the dog, order in
 Home alone


 Found your letter on a full-moon Sunday night
 Some other girl in your spell, casting plans for her life
 Pour the vodka and it dulls sharp lies
 Breathe the words of diamonds on rings


 And you didn't mean to do it
 So I don't have to believe it
 If you didn't really mean it
 Magical thinking gets us by


 Sing for the aftershow
 Those candy-colored lips
 Your age is showing and you've gotta harder for it
 It's always easier with freshmen
 I'm not as clever, it should bring you to life


 And you didn't mean to do it
 So I don't have to believe it
 If you didn't really mean it
 Magical thinking gets us by


 My fairweather friend
 Fairweather friend


 Live for the folly, but you did it for the fame
 Now you're fragile as porcelain
 Drinking cheap wine on airplanes
 Did I ever leave Chicago?
 I got your message
 Glad you're doing well


 And you didn't mean to do it
 So I don't have to believe it
 If we didn't really mean it
 Magical thinking gets us by


 Gets us by
 Gets us by


 Say you see through the folly
 But you did it for the fame
 Say you see through the folly
 But you did it for the fame
 Say you see through the folly
 But you did it for the fame
 Say you see through the folly
 But you did it for the fame


 My fairweather friend
