Sleater-kinney - Favorite Neighbor lyrics

[Verse 1] Well alright, your presence is a favor You're loaning out your virtue Like you're our favorite neighbour Come on, try a little harder Love to keep us guessing Are you saint or are you martyr? [Chorus] My my, we shoulda seen it coming Drownin' in the gold And soakin' in the honey Oh my, we didn't see it coming Built ourselves a fortress And now the walls are tumblin' [Verse 2] Now hold on, you're an overreacher Doling out those lessons like you're our favorite teacher And oh boy, keeping us a-learning Putting out our fires While your own house is burning [Chorus] My my, we shoulda seen it coming Drownin' in the gold And soakin' in the honey Oh my, we didn't see it coming Built ourselves a fortress And now the walls are tumblin' [Bridge] Were we hoping to find it in a song? Were we hoping to find it in a song? Were we hoping to find it in a song? Were we hoping to find it in a song? Were we hoping to find it in a song? Were we hoping to find it in a song? [Verse 3] Well alright, your presence is a favor You're loaning out your virtue Like you're our favorite neighbour Come on, what is it you're screamin'? Both of us are lyin' And both of us are dreamin' [Chorus] My my, shoulda seen it coming Drownin' in the gold And soakin' in the honey Oh my, we didn't see it coming Built ourselves a fortress And now our hands are bloody My my, shoulda seen it coming Drownin' in the gold And soakin' in the honey Oh my, we didn't see it coming Built ourselves a fortress And now the walls are tumblin'
