"Roadkill" lyrics - THE 1975

THE 1975
"Roadkill"

Well, I touch down and run to my connection
Man in the gift shop called me a fag
I feel up my tucked-up erection
There's a pressure all over my head
And I know this is how I get paid, but
It's not really how I wanna get laid, so
Hundred forty when I last got weighed
And I'm gonna lose more by Saturday

[Chorus:]
And they're playing your song on the radio station
Mugging me off all across the nation
If you don't eat, then you'll never grow
I should've learnt that quite a while ago
I know it gets hard sometimes
Making out with people that you don't like
I know you don't feel alright
But you look just fine to me

Well, I pissed myself on a Texan intersection
With George spilling things all over his bag
And I took shit for being quiet during the election
And maybe that's fair, but I'm a busy guy
I get stoned and go where I get paid, but
It's not really how babies get made, so
I'll take a minute when I think I won't die from stopping
Oh, I'm just a busy guy

[Chorus:]
And they're playing your song on the radio station
Mugging me off all across the nation
If you don't shoot, then you'll never know
You should've learnt that quite a while ago
I know it gets hard sometimes
Taking out your shit on the ones you like
You know, I didn't feel alright
Until you spoke to me

[Bridge:]
You, I've been waiting for you
My whole life, waiting for you
I've been waiting for you

[Outro:]
Well, I'm gonna get a gun but it's for my protection
Or maybe I'll get myself a fun knife
