The Nihilist - Liam Finn

When you hung me up

And my heart dried out

Just like the fruit on a windowsill

I’m taking us back to the city

And your mind don’t know

I can hear her cry

Was it something I did in a past life?

She can’t compare you to your sister, oh

I was the leader of a pack

But now I holler in a high voice, oh

I’ve done what you will never do

Look away with an eyeful of hope

'Cause I’m a hopeless sap

And I’m sleeping out in the wilderness

With my fleeting thoughts by the fire you know, you know, you know

I was snug as fuck in a Sunday suit

Like I’m all wrapped up in the innocence

But you’re getting over so quickly, oh

I have a habit of attack

Dispel all the wild thoughts, oh

Black bangs, alligator teeth

This the type of girl you would fight for, oh

And I’ve seen what you will never see

Doesn’t pay being careful, oh

I’ve done what you will never do

Look away with your eye full of hope
