lyrics

I don't want to die old and cold all alone in Cleveland
we quickly disregard all the moments we've been taught.
shortterm pleasure
is driving high
shortterm pleasure
with windows on both sides
shortterm pleasure
has got me feeling like a garden gnome.

smile is thin and i'm sleeping in
cause somebody has died in Cleveland all alone.
but i want to be in the city tonight
and you don't have to jump to take my call
but you better come running when i'm off my feet.

shortterm pleasure
knows how to find you
but shortterm pleasure is
always behind you
shortterm pleasure
is Hollywood, CA

when you're good to me i steal you're light
but then you get quiet
and i'm with you and we're lazy like an alleyway-
and friends don't have to jump to take my call
but they better come running when i'm off my feet

shortterm pleasure
don't want just a little bit
shortterm pleasure
i can't get a hold of it
shortterm pleasure
doesn't care what the neighbors say

when i'm with you i'm lazy like an alleyway
the complexity is simple,
blame it on the impulse and leave it alone
you keep me laughing when it's late at night
and you don't have to jump to take my call
but everybody come running when i'm off my feet.

shortterm pleasure
some people got everything
shortterm pleasure's
got me growing a beard
shortterm pleasure
i'll get over you in older years

shortterm pleasure
is buried inside you
but shortterm pleasure
is the best way to hide you
shortterm pleasure
good luck
