THE BIRD AND THE BEE LYRICS - The Races

"The Races"



Gone forever to the races

Pull your money out

Call your mother

Tell her something

Never go without

Pause a moment

Just a moment

Smoothing down your hair

Gone forever to forever

Feeling like despair



You wanted to

You wanted to

You wanted to be

You wanted to

You wanted to

You wanted to be



You work so hard

Just to light a little fire

Just to make things happen

For a reason

Just to get so tired

Just to feel every

Itty bitty god damned

Bone in your body

You wanted to be free



Wondering if the numbers that you see

Up on the wall

Take for granted all you know

And what you can't recall

Call me honey

I don't mind

I guess I feel the same

Pull me under

Kiss me hard

Pull me into frame



You wanted to

You wanted to

You wanted to be

You wanted to

You wanted to

You wanted to be



You work so hard

Just to light a little fire

Just to make things happen

For a reason

Just to get so tired

Just to feel every

Itty bitty god damned

Bone in your body

You wanted to be free



You work so hard

Just to light a little fire

Just to make things happen

For a reason

Just to get so tired

Just to feel every

Itty bitty god damned

Bone in your body

You wanted to be free
