Cosmic Shambles
(Artist: Bats on a Swing / Songwriter: Damien Somville)

Don’t stop now, you’ll recover
Dont’ put the blame on another now
Carry the weight
While you can share a little with her

You can go now,play it further
See what the world’s got to offer boy
Maybe you’ll reach
Some special kind of cosmic order

And you’re slowly drivin’ through the clouds
To find a fortune teller or any kind
Of shattered pillgrim in the fudge
Or a long bearded liar in an orange sky

And when you’ll wake up
You’ll find
Nothing but a shambles in a room
Well that’s all yours

This burden is way too heavy
On your two young flimsy shoulders so
If you ever fall
One simple rule to remember

No one cares but your mother
And no one helps one another
Gamble and if you’re lucky
Maybe your girlfriend will make it smoother

And you’re slowly drivin’ through the clouds
To find a fortune teller or any kind
Of shattered pillgrim in the fudge
Or a long bearded liar in an orange sky

You’re slowly drivin’ through the clouds
To find a fortune teller or any kind
Of shattered pillgrim in the fudge
Or a long bearded liar in an orange sky

And when you’ll wake up
You’ll find
Nothing but a shambles in a room
Well that’s still yours
