The Vaccines
Pink Water Pistols
[Verse 1]
When I talk to myself, I know somebody's listening
My mirror a casting director auditioning
Running my lines, I'm increasingly wistful
A mock execution, a pink water pistol
And if I had five minutes on earth with you left
I would keep playing dead until you were impressed
So that I'd not make promises I couldn't keep anymore
[Chorus]
I've been working on my mind's interior design
Tryna give this place a little light
Sometimes it feels like I just can't get anything right
But I'd sit in a windowless room every day
Tryna see everything through
If I thought it would give me a panoramic view of you
[Verse 2]
When digital gangsters were stealing your innocence
I put an order in just to show insolence
Then they got caught and I felt like a failure
So loved you so loud, they could hear in Australia
And then I had five minutes on earth with you left
But I kept playing dead until you were impressed
So that I'd not make promises I couldn't keep anymore
[Chorus]
I've been working on my mind's interior design
Tryna give this place a little light
Sometimes it feels like I just can't get anything right
But I'd sit in a windowless room every day
Tryna see everything through
If I thought it would give me a panoramic view of you
[Bridge]
Every inch of you built like the Mecca
Bacon, secret sauce, cheese, double-decker
You're the best thing they've got on the menu
Want you while you're still warm
Want you so much that it's become the norm
[Chorus]
I've been working on my mind's interior design
Tryna give this place a little light
Sometimes it feels like I just can't get anything right
But I'd sit in a windowless room every day
Tryna see everything through
If I thought it would give me a panoramic view of you
[Outro]
Remember that night taking Mexican ecstasy?
Codeine, corrido and crashing out next to me
Can't call a cab and I can't read your reply
The Tower of London cut off my free Wi-Fi
So now we've got five minutes on earth with them left
Let's just keep playing dead until they are impressed
So that we won't make promises we cannot keep anymore
