Started in pursuit of happiness
Then came endless days of work for debt
As he looked up to the hypocrites
Heard the things they say but soon forget

Saw the sociopaths with their corporate cards
Blowing smokescreens with their liberal cause
Said he never would be one of them
Oh how slowly it crept into him

As it clouded up his conscience
He got caught up in the objects
Of G-R-E-E-D

Now a big fish in a bigger pond
Swimming with the sharks that brought him down
To the cesspool of his confidants
To the parties with the debutants
Blast the right-wing from his velvet tower

Expensive restaurants and cheap hotels
You can forget ‘til it makes no sense
Black black nights and promise rings
You can never get your mind back

Back to the way it was

When you were daylight for me
When the sky was so black you couldn’t see
Such a tiny star caught in a great big sea
You were daylight for me

Digital alarm clocks that crawl inside my ears
It’s a cold day in any city
Seems shit is hitting a big fan in the sky
And the war is only beginning

You’re still afraid of the dark

But you were daylight for me
When the sky was so black you couldn’t see

I’ll take a walk I shouldn’t take
I’ll try to speak like a friend
Or a man who’s had to much to drink
Or who’s not afraid to sink in

I’ll take my time up the stairs
Dangerously nice atmosphere
I shouldn’t stay here but I’ll have to see
While I’m living life for me dear

I’m feeling so outside

You make me think
You make me weak
You challenge me with love and you’re right
When you say that I don’t give you enough
‘Cause I save you for Virginia

Chorus

Virginia is for lovers
