Paroles de Girls Like Status

He was drawn-up in the dark up in Penetration Park

He says he's got your medication

She was sitting on the edges of his vision trying to start a revolution
But he's done with all the parties, he's covered in contusions

Your life leaves life lines, your rug leaves bright bruises

She said she was cruising but she came back all proud and out of focus with a cool car, drank and broke us



Guys go for looks, girls go for status

There are so many nights where this is just how it happens

Guys go for looks, girls go for status



He was dreadlocked in the dorms in the Colorado corn

He says he's got your vegetation
He's bleaching out the blood stains, he's got diamonds in the drain

She said that she was coming but she wasn't, just make hard facts noises

It kind of sounded like a locus



Guys go for looks, girls go for status

There are so many nights where this is just how it happens

Guys go for looks, girls go for status



It was song number three on John's last CD,

"I'm going to make it through this year if it kills me"

And it almost killed me

And song number four on that thirsty floor, you want the scars but you don't want the war

Now that's just hardcore

These kids are clever to the core



Guys go for looks, girls go for status

Guys go for looks, girls go for status

Guys go for looks, girls go for status
