This is not the time the time to start a new love This is not the time the time to sign a lease Try not to worry about what's forgotten Try not to worry about what's been missed Scars on my shins and scars on my knuckles Today i woke up in a basketball court John joe's in sydney and he ain't returning I'm sitting in soho trying to stay drunk In any bar in the world From silver lake to williamsburg You could pick another stranger And fall in love Bleeding gums and veins protruding You're starting to hate all of your clothes The mayor's in la and he ain't returning I'm sleeping with people i don't even like When i saw you last night i wanted to say Run away with me away from the cynics That this could be the start of something truly real But all that i could say was 'hey' Was 'hey' was 'hey' was 'hey' Mercury's in retrograde
