Bats Over The Pacific Ocean

I got evicted from my house, all my shit's on the lawn
everything I've owned since I was a baby
turning grey in the sun

I found a picture of my mother when she was just 17
looking wild and glamorous at a party
laughing about to scream

So I flew to Australia on a flamingo's back
the Pacific Ocean was dreaming of angels with the wings of a bat
It was six in the morning, the sun was just coming up
everybody getting out of the subways going out to their jobs

Happy new year, Antoine
I'm fucked up bad but I'll be fine soon, I'm sure
and we can run the streets and scream like jaguars
because liars own the world

I got evicted from this song, oh, my voice is deformed
exotic islands and new species of animals is all I'm writing for
I found a picture of my brother when he was just 17
jet-black hair on his first tour ever, totally hung over

So I joined the marines just to travel the world
Afghanistan was dreaming of Miss America
McDonald's tits grotesque smirk

But I still missed my hometown so I had to desert
everybody driving around in hummers
driving their parents speed boats

Happy new year, mamma
the static in my head could scar that girl
disfigure baby birds and maul the TV
because the liars own the world
