You probably shouldn't want to jump around and dance so much to songs with lyrics like "Surviving's just like dying" and "I don't know who to tell that every day is hell"...but such is the genius of Dead Blonde Girlfriend :)

I think I've listened to this record about six times today.


Dead Blonde Girlfriend - Strung Out

Call it a gift
Call it a curse
Everybody hit the deck
No one's gonna get hurt
There's panic in the aisles
Judge, jury, on trial
You're knocked out for the count
Like a domino in single file

Be all to end all
Actual size is way too small
You're blown all over the street
You smile like a china doll
I don't wanna second guess you
Or talk about the weather
About who's foolin' who
Or whose mind you blew

Strung out on love
Strung out on hope
Losin' myself at the end of my rope
Strung out on you
Strung out on me
I know there's gotta be another place for me to be

...

Beauty, power
Dust and the bones
Rags to the riches
Another broken mirror
Obsessive, compulsive
Excessive, indulgent
All the lonely people
Racin' for their moment

See me standin' there
Alone in the spotlight
Act like you don't care
Maybe you're so unaware
I can save myself
Prob'ly better than anyone else
When you don't care, I don't care
Who the Hell's gonna care?

...

Strung out on love
Strung out on hope
Losin' myself at the end of my rope
Strung out on you
Strung out on me
I know there's gotta be another place for me to be
