My Bad Instincts

from Mean Times by The Argyles

/

lyrics

Another morning and my dried-out mouth
Makes the shapes and the words come tumbling out
It's so boring playing these songs to myself
Not getting any closer to what they were about

Another morning of waking up strangers
And for that reason I am less a friend
When you live like you're alone every evening
You'll still feel alone at night

And we sleep through most of these days
So there's little time left to think:
"I want to learn from these fucks"
Before they scare me away from my instincts
My bad instincts

Another morning and the swelling in my head
Makes my thoughts hard to think
A one night stand that reoccurs without warning
Every time you and I drink

Another morning and I'm snoring so you tell me
So I roll back on my side
And by the way I think you know it's ending
Cause we stopped saying sorry, and started saying goodbye

And we drink so often these days
That there's little time left to think:
"I want to learn from these drugs"
Before they scare me away from my instincts
My bad instincts

Have never taught me anything
No, they just make me miserable
And it happened again, I'm so unoriginal
I think that I'm hurting myself out of guilt that no one else could

And then one morning it seemed better to be going
Just when I thought I'd got the hang
We're not poets and this is not the world we're ending
So let's not whimper

Let's just bang
