Ill Fated

Golden Smog · Stay Golden Smog: Best Of Golden Smog [2008]

Wasn't much of a union

Denial and confusion

Meant something to you

I bet you wouldn've stayed

Stumble on some good times

Turn them into landmines

You know you can turn the other way



You say you've been meaning

To sort through all your demons

If there's some room,

Are you gonna let me in

You've been hung dry by your close friends

Your inner child's an orphan

You're so far down,

You don't know where you been



So many things you don't know

If you want me to leave, just say so



It's the kind of thing I like

Curse cast in the night

So ill fated, so I'll fated



Goodbye with preservation's

Regrets and salutations

Something in there somewhere that I didn't say

It's you I think of only

Whenever you get lonely

I got more than years to give away



I've been dying to start living

You're just living to be dying

We can't seem to find no common ground

You hate me when I'm lonely

I'm lonely when you hate me

Mostly I'm just there to kick around



Sorting high and low

First to leave, last to know



It's the kind of thing I like

Curse cast in the night

So ill fated, so ill fated



It's the kind of thing I like

Curse cast in the night

So ill fated
