Syd Songtext
von Empty Country

It was hailing the day
We played "Blue Arrangements"
The precision bass with
Stickers of the Saiyans
All I wanted in life
Was to write a song you liked
To make something great
To make something

Out the cellar door
Rode to the closed Caldor
We listened to "Susanne"
On your sister′s Discman
I said, "I could do that
But I'm gonna have to practice"
You gave a mean laugh


Said, "Man, I really doubt that"
My fingertips bled
Fiesta red
Encoded MP3s
With the ghosts flowing through me
The next day in class
Everybody′s laughing

Barbie boy in his lilac limousine
Barbie boy is gay for Sydney G
Loves his lovely evil frenemy

Hey Syd
I think you know what you did
Anything will feel like fate
Once it happens

Rippling abyss
When you flipped that black switch
And you weren't my friend
Spent the afternoons stranded
On nitrogen floes
Watching ice volcanoes
The withering gaze
Dogged me for decades

Barbie boy in lilac limousines
Here's advice you can take or leave
Never love your lovely frenemy


Hey Syd
I think you know what you did
Delete my fucking soul
I paid your cruelty forward
Hey Syd
Ray from a poison sun
Smoke that scarred my lungs
Still and all we had some fun
