Grow Up and Blow Away

Blue to gray

Grow up and blow away
He'd bring her his drugs
Grow up and blow away
He'd get her a typewriter

Blue to gray
If this is the life
Grow up and blow away
Grow up and blow away

Why does it feel so good to die today?
There is no holiday

First double-cross her heart
Why does it feel so good to die today?
If he were not knee-deep in mud
If this is the life
First double-cross her heart

Why does it feel so good to die today?
Grow up and blow away
If she weren't writing in blood
He took the easy way
Blue to gray
If this is the life
Her body is the baby
Why does it feel so good to die today?

If he were not knee-deep in mud
Needing something to go on

Blue to gray
He wants to start a family
If this is the life

First double-cross her heart
Why does it feel so good to die today?
She'd bring him her jokes, a new liver
Blue to gray
She always thought she would not

Blue to gray

Grow up and blow away
Grow up and blow away
Why does it feel so good to die today?
Blue to gray
He'd get her a typewriter
What was the easy way?

He wants to start a family
From the womb to the holiday
She'd bring him her jokes, a new liver
And a shovel for the mud
He'd bring her his drugs
Grow up and blow away
Blue to gray

He wants to start a family
Blue to gray
If this is the life
And a shovel for the mud
Nobody knows which street to take
If she weren't writing in blood

Floating the rent, two by two
If this is the life
Grow up and blow away
Blue to gray
