about
I can say for sure this song is based on Matt D Cheethams first set of lyrics ever and long predates this band. This songs was written early on and I have actually forgotten how it came about. Maybe Matt can remember?
lyrics
We met at the sauerkraut buffet.
She overheard as I fed the quote,
Then repeatedly she came at me,
Her fingers down her throat.
In Stuttgart
Stuttgart-Upon-Thames
Reunited at the strawberry picnic,
We ran back to her Park.
Our tequila sun was setting – yeah
Casting shadows in the dark.
And all the doctor’s children –
They kept closing in.
Like prisoners inside the attic –
There’s no way that we could win.
She died – it was self-destruction –
But the parasite lives on.
Into Herne Hell I am falling.
Tell me – was it all just a con?
I’m clasping fragments tightly
I fear I’m going insane.
One blink, then no more –
But I still crave for the pain.
She overheard as I fed the quote,
Then repeatedly she came at me,
Her fingers down her throat.
In Stuttgart
Stuttgart-Upon-Thames
Reunited at the strawberry picnic,
We ran back to her Park.
Our tequila sun was setting – yeah
Casting shadows in the dark.
And all the doctor’s children –
They kept closing in.
Like prisoners inside the attic –
There’s no way that we could win.
She died – it was self-destruction –
But the parasite lives on.
Into Herne Hell I am falling.
Tell me – was it all just a con?
I’m clasping fragments tightly
I fear I’m going insane.
One blink, then no more –
But I still crave for the pain.
