Orville Peck - War Of The Worlds Lyrics

I knew a boy with a tall grass beneath him
Wild, free, gentle and kind
Running from ghosts I would end up beside him
Still never paid him no mind
And I knew a man with the city beneath his feet
Got good at walking through walls
Void of surprises, got gold in his eyes
But a heart full of cannonballs

So let one forget me
‘Til the other resists me
Happy as I can be
In this never-ending war of the worlds
Who’s left behind In this war of the worlds?
Oh, well, never mind

Both spend their days with a frown on their faces
Dreaming of the other one’s shoes
And it’s such a shame how they both feel the same
But can’t see it’s whatever they choose

So let one forget me
‘Til the other resists me
Happy as I can be
In this never-ending war of the worlds
Who’s left behind in this war of the worlds?
Oh, well, never mind

So hats off to those who will need it
Hats on to those in the rain
Just dump on my hat when you’re tryna get back to
The place where I’m tryna admit

In this war of the worlds
In this war of the worlds
Oh, well, never mind
