Long Days Songtext
von David & the Citizens

There are two ways of doing this
One is easy and one is complicated
And it′s up to me to pick one now
And I don't think I′ll pick the easy one
Of all these short life plans they're building here
There's not a single one you should pay attention to
They only do it ′cause it looks so fucking good
When they show it on the news

You get long days of bellyaching
That′s you inside of her
Get a wire under the ocean
To connect and talk to me
Long days of bellyache


A million things that I should do
But I tell you all, it's like I′m glued to this chair
November passed just like that
November passed just like that
And I consider these options again
All you Mr. Suess gentlemen
Come bury me with bullshit, please
I know exactly how it feels

You get long days of bellyaching
That's me inside of her
Get a wire across the sky
To carry my love
Long days of absolutely nothing
Nothing at all

So go ahead and tell me I′m stupid
I've never, ever been a sunbeam
I wanna scream until my lungs bleed
I wanna scream until I can′t speak
So go on, go on, go on, go on, go on
Go on, dig your thumbs in
Take a bite of me
Take another bite of me


And give me long days of bellyaching
That's you inside of me
Get a wire across the sky
To carry all the love you need
Long days of absolutely nothing
Nothing at all
Long days of bellyache
