you & i (in decline)

The Boxer Rebellion

Triggered noises sugared to sweet
Bear hugs
Taking defeat
Youââ?¬â?¢ll cheat within a week
A catching side youââ?¬â?¢re dressing into
A guard at the gates waiting for clues
For now and then you lose
Yes bookworm I canââ?¬â?¢t choose

If the past could fall along it
I could never live upon it
You and I in decline
Weââ?¬â?¢re changing place and changing time
When you were mine when you were mine
But Iââ?¬â?¢ll decline

Withdrawn a humdrum debate
This date kid isnââ?¬â?¢t that great
Itââ?¬â?¢s surely worth the wait
Youââ?¬â?¢ve suckered all my faith

If the past could fall along it
I could never live upon it
You and I in decline
Weââ?¬â?¢re changing place and changing time
When you were mine when you were mine
But Iââ?¬â?¢ll decline

Itââ?¬â?¢s busting up, busting up
Shuffle me quickly away from this mess
Donââ?¬â?¢t tie me up, tie me up
Leave me to rest
Leave me to rest in peace

If the past could fall along it
I could never live upon it
You and I in decline
Weââ?¬â?¢re changing place and changing time
When you were mine when you were mine
But Iââ?¬â?¢ll decline

Lock me up lock me up
Donââ?¬â?¢t say I didnââ?¬â?¢t warn you
Iââ?¬â?¢m fit to stand trial Iââ?¬â?¢m fit to stand trial
Lock me up lock me up
Donââ?¬â?¢t say I didnââ?¬â?¢t warn you
Iââ?¬â?¢m taking this facing up
