Pickup lyrics

We’re common whores and we’re clean-shaven
But not on your command
And some of us will seem a twat
Depraved of the comfort of common sense

So I sit and I think about my fall
I wasn’t cut out to fit the larger mold
And what I could and should have done, I don’t know
But I guess I had my chance and I guess I had my time
And as I turn my back to the city tonight

I smile, cause it’s all right
And I smile, cause there’s no more need to fight
And the road’s wide open, the world is mine
Starting tonight

In the back of this truck I watch the skyline grow small
I never set out to break relationships at all
And what came over me I still don’t know
But I guess I should’ve known and I guess I could have lied
But as I turn my back at the city tonight

I smile, cause it’s all right
And I smile, cause there’s no more need to fight
And the road’s wide open, the world is mine
Starting tonight

Can’t follow, can’t take the pace
Can’t allow myself to run the race

We’re common whores and we’re clean shaven
But not on your demand
And you can call us what you like
The likes of us will only smile

I smile, cause it’s all right
And I smile, cause there’s no more need to fight
And the road’s wide open, the world is mine
Starting tonight
