Famous Last Words

lyrics

You were twenty-two, so fresh-faced and new
You got a tattoo; it said, "No Regrets"
Soon enough you'd see all the irony
Now writ large in ink on your right bicep

But how could you know
Those would be famous last words
How could you know
Those would be famous last words
You never saw it coming (they never do)
You never saw it coming (they never do)
You never saw it coming

Then it seemed like suddenly you're on the cusp of forty-three
With your framed Masters degree on your cubicle wall
They said you had a bright future in sales and all that that entails
But they left out the details when you took their call

But how could you know
Those would be famous last words
How could you know
Those would be famous last words
You never saw it coming (they never do)
You never saw it coming (they never do)
You never saw it coming

about

Building Rockets Austin, Texas

Building Rockets is occasionally a band and occasionally a bedroom recording project.

It sounds a little like The Pixies and Wilco covering Fountains of Wayne songs while “Abbey Road” plays in the background.
