The conversation's run dry as my mouth
We talk about getting high on nights out
Am I floating round in a room or hipster vacuum? 
Kind of sucks when you're stuck after 'so what do you do?'
I can feel my brain cells are dying
At least my body will get a nice lie-in

I'll be cooler than thou and so underground
No bouncer in Berlin could turn me down

They'll say he's no ordinary man
He's going to be the King of Wasterland

Now I can hear the birds are singing
But the party here is just beginning
I'm admiring the sky with a Swedish guy
I can see outer space when I look in his eyes
And now I've got this powerful feeling
That later on I'll be admiring my ceiling
Will I fall through the cracks or get to Lidl and back?
Is heaven just a prelude to a panic attack?

They'll say he's no ordinary man
He's going to be the King of Wasterland

So tell me how you spend your time?
Well mainly I get messy and hoover lines
And then people come from far and wide
To gather round my sofa where I slowly writhe 
And chant; Hail! The King of Wasterland!

King Of Wasterland

There will be times little baby when you want to give in
Times when this town looks like its evil twin
Especially on a sunny day
When all you want to do is run away

There will be times little baby when you're sat on your own
Falling through Sunday like a sinking stone
And even on a sunny day
You'll never think you can survive the day

There will be times little baby when you feel no worth
Wishing you'd never been put on this earth
And somehow on a sunny day
It's harder to make the pain go away

There will be times little darling when you just don't fit in
No matter what you do you just can't win
And though it is a sunny day
Nothing can stop you from feeling that way

So when those times hit you baby and it's all not right
Even the sun is laughing at your life
Feels like it is the end
Feels like the dog is your only friend
You can turn it around
Get out of the town

Up the Downs

King Of Wasterland
