Lyrics
0:24Hanging off the bridge by a fingernail
0:26Trapped in the harbor when the ship set sail
0:29Boy you're one card short of the pack
0:32Begging for your baby to take you back
0:35Stubbed a cigarette out on his hand
0:38Scrawls her name across the sand
0:41Disappears like King Canute
0:44Tide didn't like his attitude
0:47Always shadowboxing
0:50Face up and throw your gloves in
0:52Lose your imaginary friends
0:58Always good for nothing
1:01She can't ever love him
1:04No man is ever innocent innocent
1:18Bouncing off the walls with no wish to land
1:21Erase your fingerprints and your retina scan
1:24There's no point in the life he should lead
1:27Chain leg to a piano and sink through the weeds
1:29Gone are all the dreams that last forever
1:32He towed the line when never meant never
1:36Something better than the cynical beast
1:38Weren't sucked in by the popular disease
1:41Always shadowboxing
1:44Face up and throw your gloves in
1:47Lose your imaginary friends
1:53Always good for nothing
1:56She can't ever love him
1:58No man is ever innocent
2:30Always shadowboxing
2:33Face up and throw your gloves in
2:36Lose your imaginary friends
2:41Always good for nothing
2:44She can't ever love him
2:48No man is ever innocent innocent
3:04Innocent innocent
Hanging off the bridge by a fingernail Trapped in the harbor when the ship set sail Boy you're one card short of the pack Begging for your baby to take you back Stubbed a cigarette out on his hand Scrawls her name across the sand Disappears like King Canute Tide didn't like his attitude Always shadowboxing Face up and throw your gloves in Lose your imaginary friends Always good for nothing She can't ever love him No man is ever innocent innocent Bouncing off the walls with no wish to land Erase your fingerprints and your retina scan There's no point in the life he should lead Chain leg to a piano and sink through the weeds Gone are all the dreams that last forever He towed the line when never meant never Something better than the cynical beast Weren't sucked in by the popular disease Always shadowboxing Face up and throw your gloves in Lose your imaginary friends Always good for nothing She can't ever love him No man is ever innocent Always shadowboxing Face up and throw your gloves in Lose your imaginary friends Always good for nothing She can't ever love him No man is ever innocent innocent Innocent innocent
