Verse 1

Stepped into Poundstretcher

And the girl behind the counter

Said that life had beaten her

Said it would be the death of her

And she was sure

 

Verse 2

I cannot tell if it was the pink highlights

Or the pink bubble gum inside

Her mouth, on the wrong side

As another pregnant bride

Throws up in the river, Clyde

 

Verse 3

She sees life as a dance floor with strobes

And the meat market shows up in droves

Take selfies ,posts then blows up a phone

With the man she been dreaming of, she is in love

Always flirting with a chance to take off her clothes

 

Verse 4

Never complains about the weather

Or his family when they get together

Because she knows that Uncle Fester

Only interferes when his dirty pleasures

Are so much stronger than hers

Pre- Chorus

Trying to save face

Grace

And anything

She can hold on to

Right now

 

Chorus

The sand beneath

My feet

Crumbles like

The empire

That built

These streets

And the castles

I built

On the beach

Don’t last but

A day

The high tide

Comes in

Takes it all

Away
