radiation - jack ladder lyrics

[verse 1]
well, i was never who i really was
until i talked to you
you made me so unsure of myself
i had to check if it showed through
i started showing up at your front door
i figured you had something to teach
i learned hard, i learned quick
the six lessons of the leech
lesson one, we’re all free in our bodies
lesson two, don’t say you will when you won’t
lesson three, four, five, and six, i’m always here when you need a fix
but you would never settle for the one who loves you the most

[chorus]
the world hums a sad song
the world hums radiation
and the heartbreak drums beat all night long

[verse 2]
time and time and time again
i let you down when i let you in
you’d rather be looking up at me from a crowded bar
than pawing at my sozzled skin
so you bought “songwriting for dummies”
and now you’re up for a grammy
i studied every night with the masters of song
now my verses come out all wrong
if i see you at the ceremony
i probably won’t, but if i do
let’s pretend we never met before
i’d just say, “hey, can i get through?”
[chorus]
the world hums a sad song
the world hums radiation
and the heartbreak drums beat all night long

[instrumental break]

[verse 3]
standing down here at hermannplatz
on my way to visit nico’s grave
it seems that everywhere i go the room is lit
by one of your old flames
their eyes grow wide when they hear me
and their voices get thin and weak
it seems you cast a net so wide, you super trawler
and no poor creature was out of reach
there’s nothing much left to say
you’re still sleeping with your manager anyway
it’s just i never felt more alive in the paris ibis
we stayed up all night

[chorus]
the world hums a sad song
the world hums radiation
and the heartbreak drums beat all night long
[instrumental outro]
