Piccolo Pete lyrics - Cursive

You can devote your life to trying to get it right

But what's that even mean?

You can read every book, see every film

Now if you only knew how to make up your mind

You can yell from the mountains or down the well

To the same reply

Lucky bask in white

It's the echo of mankind

All we are is all we are; so what?

The more I learn, the more I just give up

From the highest cliff, o'er the raging sea

We march single file

Try as you might to step out of line

Eventually, we're all going to take a dive

You can halt the ticking of a clock

But you can't bind the hands of time

Lucky bask in white

It complicates mankind

We're born and procreate and then we die

Everything between's just beating off

The birds fuck, the bees fuck

The flowers fuck, the trees, all wrong

Just one big happy fucking family

We're almost to the sea, I can hear the crashing tides

Baby, I wish I weren't so afraid to die

Take my hand, we'll get there side by side

We never got answers, just wrinkles and cancers

Well, here we are at the head of the line
