Lyrics Life on Land - Dessa

Life on Land

Flip a coin, flip a car
I don’t care where we are
The picture and the sound won’t synch
And some things time can’t fix
I’m built for nights like this
Don’t mean I’m proud of it
And the rose in my teeth
Was a pin so it seems
You pull it and brace to blast
Get ready for the bang and flash
Alright just one last dance
Make it fast
I know
How the tide pulls deep
Eyes open
But the mind’s asleep
Flash frozen
In the driver’s seat
Lights and motion
But they’re lost on me
There’s a dozen selves inside you
Tryna be the one to run th dials
And some aren’t evn on your side
When the hunger comes and finds you
Only code it knows is rote survival
You’ll do the rest in your spare time
Tryna get that universal feeling
In an invite-only private room
(Guess the ring came off in the glove)
Looks like you pawned the silver lining
Around the cloud that follows you
(Guess that good old push came to shove)
Out in the water
You can’t touch bottom
It pulls you farther
Life on land forgotten
The world rolls over
I’m pulled under
Stone cold sober
But I feel nothing
I’m just a girl
In the body of a boy
In the belly of a whale
You can’t be sure
This far from shore
Which winds prevail
Flip a coin, flip a car
I don’t care where we are
