lyrics

Save your words,
I could spot you from a mile away,
This time and space has gone berserk,
How did you even end up in this place?
I'm sure you'd prefer something much less absurd,
But everyone needs a holiday,
It blows my mind how we twist and turn,
But I'm so glad that I took the bait,
While slurring my words.

And blessed be the doorman,
For checking up my sleeve,
Holy are the bar staff,
Who never got to leave,
Be kind unto your best friend,
For leaving us in peace,
Thank god for Tom Collins,
For bringing you to me.

We're in another world,
You must've caught me on one of my good days,
I recognise that you're really hurt,
And I know that I should probably stay,
And make sure you're alright,
But who's to say it wasn't fate,
That led us to this abstract place,
Where I can act like I'm your escape,
But in a way we won the game,
And it has been a decent day,
Forget your face but I remember your name.

And blessed be the doorman,
For checking up my sleeve,
Holy are the bar staff,
Who never got to leave,
Be kind unto your best friend,
For leaving us in peace,
Thank god for Tom Collins,
For bringing you to me.

Tomorrow looks so ugly,
Standing next to you right now,
I thought we'd be asleep by now,
The high is fading from me,
And you can see much clearer now,
We must be getting nearer somehow.

Yeah so blessed be the doorman,
For checking up my sleeve,
Holy are the bar staff,
Who never got to leave,
Be kind unto your best friend,
For leaving us in peace,
Thank god for Tom Collins,
For bringing you to me.
