None of our friends are here yet. I'm caught on repeat and I don't know it, like the pretty songs that give me bad dreams: it's better than broken bones. We're swinging in the hammock. I haven't lost my cool, and neither have you. You don't know what it looks like when I'm breaking bones.
Now I know I ought to take an out when it comes - but I'm scared it never does.
None of our friends are dead yet. We've got it good and we don't know it, like the sad songs that give us cavities: it's better than broken bones. What's better than broken bones?
Now I know I ought to take an out when it comes - but I'm scared it never does.

There is a lot to hear here and unsurprisingly it's a mixed bag, but Passing Strange's stunning arrangement of "Tourniquet" blows me away. They make it sound like it was ALWAYS a piano ballad, and their contribution was to rock it up with lively drums. summer villain
