We Are Lions - Dancewell Parallel lyrics

High heels and short skirts; It's simple but it works The neon is flickering "Even sharks learn to swim" Her parents coundn't care less Her mother's not holding her breath Her windpipe's a twisted mess With more hangups than Pica**o She's growing older [on the] coldest shoulder Oh, and if anybody asks you, you never saw her Such a disappointing and lovely daughter Free drinks at art shows She's 15 but looks older Don't bother with that small talk She's heard it all before From doctors and principals She's always been difficult The neon is flickering "Welcome to the Rest Of Your Life Hotel" It's too bad that tonight the beautiful dance alone
