Lyrics Lockdown Blues - Iceage

Lockdown Blues

I know you’ve been choked
A loosened clamp around your beak
While crowds and parties mock the weak
A sudden fatal tenant seizes room
Didn’t grasp what I had until
It was robbed absent too soon
COVID-19 lockdown blues
The only way out is through
A wraithlike peril spread across our seven seas
Empty shelves, barren streets
Confined domestic quarantine
How the itching for lost touch is deafening
COVID-19 lockdown blues
COVID-19 lockdown blues
The lid’s on the kettle
Measured to subdue
Steamed figures rising
In a sulk warped for its roof
Like rings propagate in water
Motion’s no vaccine
Those cut-off wages, darling
Don’t rinse down with Listerine
I got the COVID-19 lockdown blues
The only way out is through
A wraithlike peril spread across our seven seas
Empty shelves, barren streets
Confined domestic quarantine
How the itching for lost touch is deafening
COVID-19 lockdown blues
COVID-19 lockdown blues
COVID-19 lockdown blues
COVID-19 lockdown blues
COVID-19 lockdown blues
Among us in the glaring daylight
