The Nerve - This Is All

You can't afford to be wrong about this place
You close the door
It's all gone without a trace
So many chances, disappointments left behind
It added up to nothing
Yeah, nothing pretty fast

Lock the door
Go on and lock that window, too
Hope comes to nothing here
Depends on your point of view
It's always dark
Still it seems so right
Sun comes up sometimes
But in the middle of the night

This strangest life, it can't be as bad as it seems
Can't be as bad as what lies
Waiting in your dreams
Keep your eyes to the ground
Walk softly and don't make a sound

This is all
This is all
This is all
Take it down

Leona keeps a house on Desolation Row
She'll let you spend the night
But there's something you oughta know
Don't turn on any lights
Unless she tells you it's okay
What she has in there, baby
What it is, I can't say

This strangest life, it can't be as bad as it seems
Can't be bad as what lies
Waiting in your dreams
Take ahold the razor's edge
Just one more step off that ledge

This is all
This is all
This is all
Take it down
Dig it

Shhh
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

4 In the morning
Time to go to bed
But I can't sleep
I can't remember what I just said

Let's try and live it up
Baby, I'm through trying to live it down
Slip through that window with me
We'll steal a car
And head uptown

This strangest life, it can't be as bad as it seems
Can't be as bad as what lies
Waiting in your dreams
Keep your eyes to the ground
Walk softly and don't make a sound

This is all
This is all
This is all
Take it down

This is all
This is all
This is all
Take it down

This is all
This is all
This is all
Take it down
