lyrics

Well, I've heard there was a secret chord.
That Ms. Toogood played and it pleased Ms. Braun
But you don't really care for choir, do ya?
And it goes like this, the 4th, the 5th.
The minor fall and the major lift.
Ms. Braun composing Duffylujah.
Duffylujah, Duffylujah, Duffylujah.

Your math was strong but you hated proofs.
You saw Ms. Green on the roof.
...awkward.
She tied you to the lunchroom chair.
She made Chad Winters teach you DARE.
And from your lips she drew the Duffylujah.
Duffylujah, Duffylujah, Duffylujah.

Well, Duffy here has seen it all.
He knows these rooms and he's walked this hall.
He used to be a god before he knew ya.
He's seen the blue ribbon on the marble arch.
Graduation is not a victory march.
It's a cold and it's a broken Duffylujah.
Duffylujah, Duffylujah, Duffylujah.

And there was a time when he could know.
All that went on down below.
This mortal life never really moved ya.
Well sure, he's a little round.
But the hair atop his graying crown.
Is soft as the whispered Duffylujah.
Duffylujah, Duffylujah, Duffylujah.

Sometimes classrooms can get stuffy.
But all I ever learned from Duffy
Is how to keep the school cold to save moolah.
And it's not a cry you hear from us.
Christ's sakes, it's colder on the bus.
It's a cold and it's a broken Duffylujah
Duffylujah, Duffylujah, Duffylujah.
Duffylujah
Duffylujah
Duffylujah.

Gravity in Love
by 9Tomorrows

These guys are amazing. The lyrics are very deep and well thought out, and extremely beautiful and heartening at the same time. After listening to the album about 30 times, it still isn't old. Pink Machine
