Ryan Kamstra, "Forever Skinny Boy"
(2002)

The way lonely people tell jokes
No emphasis on the punch line
Everything is funny, yeah
Everything is up for votes

Oh boy
Eh, you look like a soldier
But I bet you don't dream
A soldier dreams
You want to put yourself to sleep
You wanna trail in the strays
Well it's blood on the eye for you (?)
This love ferments and fades away
You look like a soldier
'Til you don't leave me anymore
Anymore

So it's
Boy why join the military?
Boy, go on and spend the night in jail
You're looking tired
You're looking hard as nails
Please tell me that you're jumping
If you're gonna jump and set sail

'Cause look at me
I'm standing here
While your eyes, they move away
Yeah, I can see you sail away
Why do good things fall away?

Blue sky turns clear haze
It was a grey, industrial rain
When we touch down, at the side of the highway
Strip down, at the side of the highway
It was your fault
Look at me, look at me
I'm standing here
Well, with eyes, you move away
I can see the good things move away
Why do good things fall away?

Right now you're running from what you could have been
You're running from where you are
You're running from what you still could be
You're running cause you've always run (?) to run so far

Well, look at me
I'm standing here
Well, with your eyes you move away
As our music moves away
Why do good things fall away?

Forever skinny boy


Thanks, Dru! She was nice enough to transcribe the lyrics, but there are still a few lines we're not sure about, so why don't you go download the song and help us out? ♥
