Some People

I hope you’re well

I wouldn’t know

You only call me when it’s too late for hello

I know you dream

Of great collapse

Our city sunk into the pit

I’ll drink to that

No love

Just empty messages

Ricocheting round your head

Old words

From friends and relatives

Echoing

Some people

Wanna watch the world burn

Everyone else’ll learn

Nobody waits their turn

I don’t understand it

No method to the madness

Man oh

Please don’t get me started

Cos I know a lot of

Serious people

Who lose their minds

Getting caught up

In these antagonistic fantasies

About each other’s lives

But who needs them

When you’re in mine

Let’s give it time

No love

Just empty messages

Ricocheting round your head

Old words

From friends and relatives

Echoing

Some people

Wanna watch the world burn

Everyone else’ll learn

Nobody waits their turn

I don’t understand it

No method to the madness

Man oh

Please don’t get me started

Cos

I know a lot of people

Just wanna watch the world burn

Everyone else’ll learn

Nobody waits their turn

I don’t understand it

No method to the madness

Man oh

Please don’t let me

Yeah I’m just about grown up enough to admit

I miss you

I know you’ve had a couple issues

You think you’ve lost a bit of magic

But there’s no method to the madness

That’s just how loneliness feels

I’d still cradle you in a lightning field

And we could watch the world burn

Pretend we understand it

Do it like we planned it

Man oh please don’t get me started

The clocks don’t stop

The wheel turns

The night goes on

We watch it burn

Cos

I know a lot of people

Just wanna watch the world burn

Everyone else’ll learn

Nobody waits their turn

I don’t understand it

No method to the madness

Man oh

Please don’t get me started

Cos

I know a lot of people

Just wanna watch the world burn

Everyone else’ll learn

Nobody waits their turn

I don’t understand it

No method to the madness

Man oh

Please don’t get me started
