lyrics

guess you're not so lovable after all
if you been tripping, then you're bound to fall
hands up, don't claim defeat
to the smug and effete
lay low, let's retreat
til the plan is complete

take a minute, tell me what you think
are you feeling tired and on the brink?
grab your coat and i'll meet you at the junk shop
will everybody just stop?

i wanna be a derelict, derelict
with you all the time
we could be winning it, spinning it
grinning it, talking shit
every single night
na-na-na, derelicts all the time

you got that sparkle in your eyes tonight
no one can stop us when we realign
heads up, now it seems
that you found what you need
hold on to the dream
give 'em hell, supercede

take a minute, tell me what you think
feeling wild, let's grab another drink
play a tune and you hit me with the bebop
and everybody just stops

i wanna be a derelict, derelict
with you all the time
we could be winning it, spinning it
grinning it, talking shit
every single night
na-na-na, derelicts all the time

catch as catch can, ba ba ba da da

i wanna be a derelict, derelict
with you all the time
we could be winning it, spinning it
grinning it, talking shit
every single night

i wanna be a derelict, derelict
with you all the time
we could be winning it, spinning it
grinning it, talking shit
every single night
derelicts all the time
