lyrics

Gummi

Gummi’s stuck inside a dead end fuckin 9-5
Thinking of all the things he’s doing when it’s 5-9
Caught between prayers and the fruit machine flavourings
And then you go down like a daisy
Fooling around

Caught in the parachute and everything you know’s now
All in the gutter and you’re stumbling when you fall out
Rolling up favours, running with your faeries
All overstating the odds
But you just don’t know

Just don’t know
Just don’t know
Just don’t know

Rolling around with your tables fucking anything
Caught in the rhythm for a televised appearance
Hauling your favours and your fruit machine flavourings
And then you go
Down like a daisy
Fooling around
And the cocaine
Makes you last all day

Last all day
Last all day
Last all day
Last all day

And you waste time dying to explain
But Dia, she roams anyway

Hey gummi
How you been?
Were you running around dead streets with that great white grin
Did you hunker down
Did you dance around
Did it come to you in waves all ecstatic and surround

Well the lessons have been scarring
The moments are cliff edge
The Peace Lilly is dead ah
But the telephone is working

I’ve been a fruit fly hovering for sweetness
I’ve been everywhere in kind
But I have hardly been myself you know
Well I thought I was invincible
Turns out I'm uninvited
Im in Bloemfontein with a head full of sirens
Gummi I saw you from across the view
you were knocking people's frowns up
And I ran to you because
I wanted to knock ‘em too

Gummi I’ve been sectioned for an hour of power
Gummi I am bleeding for all those funeral flowers
Gummi we are drowning but we’re living - we’re gonna get it, man
Gummi we can do no wrong
Gummi we can do no wrong
Gummi we can do no wrong
Gummi we can do no wrong
