Bellevue by The Cardboard City Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Thought I’d learned
Thought I knew
Had no idea
What I couldn’t do
My foolish pride has come undone
I lied to myself
I could’ve died

[Verse 2]
Bought and sold
Paid to breathe
It’s not the time you spend
It’s just the time you leave
Am I a lover or a fool?
It’s curious
You decide

[Chorus 1]
The body is joyful
The body gives us pain
Drink it over and get back to me when you’re
Ready to open a vein
[Verse 3]
You’re in luck
What a boon
Someone is bowing out
You’ll have the spotlight soon
Raise up your bloody little fist
Get kissed, get pissed, take a slap on the wrist
And go home

[Verse 4]
I’ll be good
I’ll be gone
When you don’t need no more
I’ll won’t have nothing on
Just leave the money on the ground
Crank the music up
And skip town

[Chorus 2]
The body is poison
The body’s made of love
I could smoke that the whole goddamned day
And go crazy

[Verse 5]
In a hole
In the ground
Nothing can bring it back
That which cannot be found
Just plant your feet on either side
Of that noisy darkness
And stick around
