Verse 1
Dreaming of a past we shared so long ago
Well before we knew which way the wind would blow
Thick as thieves, tied at the hip a real shit show
First in the hole, you dug your ditch with deeper goals

Chorus
And I know that you had to go
And you knew exactly what you’d do
That you’d be fine until the end of time
Just a cocksucker in a coal mine

Verse 2
Five friends dreaming five days at a time
Drunken ambition got us by just fine
Never thinking about what if? I? me? mine?
But you did and turned on us like on a dime

Chorus
And I know that you had to go
And you knew exactly what you’d do
That you’d be fine until the end of time
Just a cocksucker in a coal mine

Bridge
Academy fight song didn’t really last long
Adolescent attitudes never really had a clue
Drink drunk - fight fuck go to Zed piss the bed
Chaosmongers past our prime - clearly running out of time
Reality distortion field running to a stand still
Time flies friendships die - never even asked you why?

Verse 3
Living in a life that young me didn’t see
Working like a slave knowing I can’t be freed
All the fun behind me now, a memory
Watching you go on to be all that you could be
Doesn’t change the past but now I finally see
Lucky and the luckless what is meant to be

Chorus
And I know that you had to go
And you knew exactly what you’d do
That you’d be fine until the end of time
Just a cocksucker in a coal mine
Yes, you were right that you had to go
and I guess, you knew just what you’d do
You’’re clearly fine at the end of the line
But you’re still a cocksucker in a coal mine
