Soft Target 

Had a dream about the seventies
Where no-one locks their doors at night and we fight like fleas
Baby never knows what she’s going to get
A birthday party, a chemistry set

Hey paranoia, shark in the water, silver loving daughter on every street
We live, forever tangled in the never - try to love a little bit anyway

And you said something about loss and crying on the inside
I’m a soft target and you know it, harder on the outside
They’re still using the same signs - caught me on the flipside
I’m a soft target and you know it

Talk of doing the impossible
But it’s Tuesday night and we’re both full of chemicals
Take a boyfriend like a sedative
They said we were so difficult to live with

Oh pleonasm, tiny little chasm, now the future has them on every street
We fuel the fire, Z for Zachariah, neighbour’s got a bunker - it’s six feet deep

You said something about loss and crying on the inside
I’m a soft target and you know it, harder on the outside
We’re the first ones that you’ll find sleeping on a landslide
I’m a soft target and you know it

Why does everybody look the same
Why does everybody look the same
And I’m surrounded by mid-century furniture again

You said something about loss and crying on the inside
I’m a soft target and you know it, harder on the outside
It’s so perfect the way you climb, I’m building us an empire
I’m a soft target and you know it - hey yeah yeah
