Walking Disasters Lyrics
She used to get her kicks from a four to the floor
But now she's always wasted
A total looker, but she's jaded
The kind of shivering wreck that I adore
I can't offer you a rescue
I can tell you what I'd do
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly
And tell my father that I need him back again
And if these words wont drop from your lips
I will be your freudian slip
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
Only finding questions in answers
You and I are just walking disasters
You and I are just walking disasters
You and I are just walking disasters
She only finds her love in a downtown score
Consumption makes her stronger
She's the sweetest anaconda
The kind of lack of respect that I adore
I cant offer you a recuse
But when you've lost all that you have left to lose
I'd tell my mother that I love her dearly
And tell my father that I need him back again
And if these words won't drop from your lips
I will be your freudian slip
As sharp as a knife and as blunt as a wheel
You be my calm I'll be your pneumatic drill
And what we'll never want, we'll always need
Right now we need some pop psychology
To keep us up-beat
So tell your mother thatyou love her dearly
And tell your father your won't lock him out again
And if these words wont drop from your lips
I will be your freudian slip
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
Only finding questions in answers
You and I are just walking disasters
You and I are just walking disasters
You and I are just walking disasters
But now she's always wasted
A total looker, but she's jaded
The kind of shivering wreck that I adore
I can't offer you a rescue
I can tell you what I'd do
And tell my father that I need him back again
And if these words wont drop from your lips
I will be your freudian slip
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
Only finding questions in answers
You and I are just walking disasters
You and I are just walking disasters
You and I are just walking disasters
Consumption makes her stronger
She's the sweetest anaconda
The kind of lack of respect that I adore
I cant offer you a recuse
But when you've lost all that you have left to lose
And tell my father that I need him back again
And if these words won't drop from your lips
I will be your freudian slip
You be my calm I'll be your pneumatic drill
And what we'll never want, we'll always need
Right now we need some pop psychology
To keep us up-beat
And tell your father your won't lock him out again
And if these words wont drop from your lips
I will be your freudian slip
And flowers might wilt when we walk past
And self-help might help when it makes us laugh
Only finding questions in answers
You and I are just walking disasters
You and I are just walking disasters
You and I are just walking disasters

I personally think it's about him finding someone who is as messed up as him, and them trying to put their lives back together, together. But at the same time, it's sort of the realisation that being messed up isn't a bad thing (displayed in the line 'And self help might help when it makes us laugh'), and that everyone is messed up in their own little way, and that no one can ever be perfect, and that's ok as long as no one is suffering for it (the lines about making up with parents, and how she USED to disrespect herself by living a bad life)
I think its about him trying to help a friend who had a falling out with her parents and is starting head down the wrong path, only to learn he's just as messed up.
