| Pressed the seven sequenced silver panic buttons
|
| The distress calls that fall on a distracted short-wave signal
|
| A metronome timed to my panic stricken breathing
|
| And a pulse conducted by our dying lines
|
| You said my heart sounded like a payphone in the rain
|
| Distorted, distant, scrambled and desperate
|
| Baby, i swear to god tonight i am sober
|
| It’s the reception between us that’s failing
|
| Everything’s coming out all frenzied and confused
|
| She’s got what it takes to make collapsing a habit
|
| And a dance out of a tantrum fit (it's tragic but i am sobering up)
|
| Pick up the phone
|
| Tonight i feel like the hero of a rusting war
|
| My touch has the timing and precision of a car wreck
|
| No use translating the trembles
|
| They’re symptoms of repetitive testing for fluctuation
|
| If i come back home, i am bringing back the bends
|
| So give me a kiss. |
| let me taste the reptilian appeal
|
| Say it again baby. |
| does it turn you on? |
| does it get you hot?
|
| I get a little hysterical sometimes
|
| The panic you shouldn’t have been so sentimental
|
| All that kicking and screaming
|
| Everything i touch starts peeling
|
| We malfunction like machines
|
| Get up off the floor and answer the phone
|
| I want to be a big star
|
| Didn’t want to touch so hard
|
| Open the door
|
| I am your deviant satellite, an orbit defected by the ballast of words
|
| You’re the reason for collisions
|
| I am face down like a sailor washed up under your window
|
| Tonight is a shipwreck
|
| Navigating through disorder
|
| Now every electric star hums like a telecaster
|
| How punk rock is that?
|
| You’re so oblivious
|
| Baby, you’re my oblivion |
