Flamingo Graveyard by The Fatty Acids Lyrics
[Intro]
You are a really funny person to talk to about people that have broken hearts
Hearts
And I know just what you’re trying to get into and I’m confident that I want no part
No part
And maybe I’ll come to view this situation with an overwhelming sense of regret
Regret
But I like these kids and I like where I’m at and what do you want me to say beyond that?
On that?
[Bridge]
There are times that I feel more at home than I thought I could
I thought I could
I thought could ever one’s life herе be
[Chorus]
But I wish it were thе 80s
I wish we could be happy
I wish I hadn’t seen you on his lap that evening
What I want, the only thing in life is to be able to follow my own advice
Alright
[Bridge]
Dance with who you want
Even in the night
I can’t pretend that I ain’t gonna send them right back to the bowl
Call it a punchline
You bought up all the land under my wandering mind
Alright
[Chorus]
But I wish it were the 90s
I wish that you were breathing
And why does everybody that I believe in
Eliminate their map before their time
And why can’t you just dance to anything that feels right?
But I wish it were 2000
I wish the war were underway
I wish we could take back what we gave
And I wish that I could mean exactly what I say
I lie right through my pearly whites like tooth decay
I wish it were the future
I wish that we were older and wiser
Settled down in a mortgaged home
I’d hold her like a grudge
I’d freeze wedding cake
I’d look at her as if I didn’t know the divorce rate
You are a really funny person to talk to about people that have broken hearts
Hearts
And I know just what you’re trying to get into and I’m confident that I want no part
No part
And maybe I’ll come to view this situation with an overwhelming sense of regret
Regret
But I like these kids and I like where I’m at and what do you want me to say beyond that?
On that?
[Bridge]
There are times that I feel more at home than I thought I could
I thought I could
I thought could ever one’s life herе be
[Chorus]
But I wish it were thе 80s
I wish we could be happy
I wish I hadn’t seen you on his lap that evening
What I want, the only thing in life is to be able to follow my own advice
Alright
[Bridge]
Dance with who you want
Even in the night
I can’t pretend that I ain’t gonna send them right back to the bowl
Call it a punchline
You bought up all the land under my wandering mind
Alright
[Chorus]
But I wish it were the 90s
I wish that you were breathing
And why does everybody that I believe in
Eliminate their map before their time
And why can’t you just dance to anything that feels right?
But I wish it were 2000
I wish the war were underway
I wish we could take back what we gave
And I wish that I could mean exactly what I say
I lie right through my pearly whites like tooth decay
I wish it were the future
I wish that we were older and wiser
Settled down in a mortgaged home
I’d hold her like a grudge
I’d freeze wedding cake
I’d look at her as if I didn’t know the divorce rate
