Optimist vs. The Silent Alarm (When the Saints Go Marching In) Songtext
von Casiotone for the Painfully Alone

We′re skeletons of cigarettes
& Empty cans & bottles
& We tear out of the parking lot
The engine at full throttle.
& We met a route with all right turns
So lights won't get us caught
We got a mess of cash in duffel bags
& Every penny′s hot
Well hallelujah well hallelujah


Oh & we're laughing through the fear
That we'll never make the clear
Oh & you′ve never looked so dear
It′s the end of our career

We'll ditch the car in Wisconsin
& Hide out in the trees
& 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
& Raise a little family on Schlitz
& Mickey Mouse
Well hallelujah well hallelujah


Oh & we′re laughing through the fear
That we'll never make the clear
Oh & you′ve never looked so dear
It's the end of our career
