lyrics

we were making famous noises
always hanging out in the stairwell
making faces at each other
there was never anything to do
sitting around and wearing out the grooves
breaking you in like a brand new pair of shoes

a disco ball made of daisy chains
spinning round the room like diamonds
dodging vitals like elastic
pocket knives to the caution tape like streamers
taking tangents and forming creeds and covenants
near the railroad tracks
we're taking off
we're taking off in perfect time

causing fumbles in the backseat
swapping stories in the back row
smuggling those famous hands
across the border into the triangles
barbed wire smiles and telephone pole fires
and dune buggies towards the dawn
always with the high beams on
semaphoring B-Y-B-Y-B-Y-B-Y-B
bring it on

and there was never a single feeling
that ever held any meaning
and it allowed me to do
whatever i wanted to do
but now im runnning through a ditch
covered in grasshoppers and mud
being chased by bees and flies
a raincloud hovering over me
everywhere i go
but my mouth is still dry
