charity (lyrics)

hey hey charity
more donations
show ‘em what you’re made of

played it like a parody and faked elation
solving the eternal equation

hey hey chelsie lee
whatchya tryin to tell me?
silence speaks volumes in a talkative room

when you’re normally cheery
to the weak and the weary
but the closest i can come to is the smell of your perfume

but my solitary solace is the smell of your perfume

(the smell of your perfume…)

when we come on too strongly
rightly or wrongly
knowingly ignorant of how to proceed

because when push comes to shove
we’re only soldiers is love
we won’t lay down our arms ‘til we have what we need
