Autumn Again [NDC TT]

NDC Throwback Thursdays ▶️ Lyrics Look around you Look around you Oh joy Oh thrill Oh seasonal delight It’s that special time of year Where every single person pretends they love the bite of the chilly night Oh yes We adore it We crave the briskness We live for the breeze and the crunch of the ground Even though our toes are stiff Our noses drip Our thighs are trapped in tights three sizes too tight They squeeze And they pinch Autumn autumn See the leaves turn brittle and brown Dropping lifeless to the street It’s just mother nature’s casual way of saying Sorry darlings The party’s over Shut the lights Take your coats and feel defeat It’s a final sale A bargain bin special A clearance rack with no returns No slack Everything is dying Everything is fading And spoiler alert None of it is ever coming back Ah the colors The radiant colors So glorious So dazzling They blind the eye with grace But really It’s just spray-painted death A gaudy costume Slapped on nature’s cold decaying face Oooh tragic beauty Oooh tragic social media with a pumpkin by the toe Oooh twenty desperate camera filters Just to hide the slush The ice And the prelude to snow Pumpkins here Pumpkins there Pumpkins shoved in every recipe Every ad Every corner store shelf Pumpkins stuffed in your latte In your candle In your soap In your toothpaste And yes Even in your underwear I swear Lattes Candles Pies and more Don’t forget the pumpkin lotion you despise And please dear neighbors We beg of you Don't carve one by the door Unless you want the flies Oh autumn Oh autumn You smug little tease With your postcard tricks And your rom-com air You pretend you’re romantic You sell us golden sunsets But all we get is coughing Wheezing Allergies And despair Coughing and wheezing Coughing and wheezing Allergic to the pumpkins Allergic to the mold Allergic to the damp old leaves that keep on freezing So here’s to autumn That brilliant fraud That dazzling swindler That liar in disguise A season of sweaters too itchy Regrets too heavy Scarves too long And overpriced pies Autumn again We get the joke Our coats are heavy Our wallets broke And our spirits choked Oh darling autumn Take a bow You’ve fooled us once You’ll fool us twice You’ll fool us anyhow But please For once For once in history Just leave us now
