Optimist vs. The Silent Alarm (When The Saints Go Marching In) - Casiotone For The Painfully Alone
We're skeletons of cigarettes
And empty cans and bottles
And we tear out of the parking lot
The engine at full throttle
And we met a route with all right turns
So lights won't get us caught
We got a mess of cash in duffel bags
And every penny's hot
Well hallelujah well hallelujah
Oh and we're laughing through the fear
That we'll never make the clear
Oh and you've never looked so dear
It's the end of our career
We'll ditch the car in wisconsin
And hide out in the trees
And I know a dude in madison
Who owes some favours to me
With the money in the back seat baby
We could buy a house
And raise a little family on schlitz
And mickey mouse
Well hallelujah well hallelujah
Oh and we're laughing through the fear
That we'll never make the clear
Oh and you've never looked so dear
It's the end of our career
