Time to put the ear-covers on No La-la-la-la La-la-la-la La-la-la-la (Born to) born to multiply Born to gaze into night skies All you want's one more Saturday Well, look here until then They're gonna buy your life's time So keep your wick in the air, and your feet in the fetters 'til the day We come in doing cartwheels We are caught up by ourselves And your shape on the dance floor Will have me thinking such filth and gouge my eyes You'll be damned to be one of us, girl Faced with the dodo's conundrum I felt like I could just fly But nothing happened every time I tried Woo, ooh A duotone on the wall Selfless fool who hoped he'd save us all Never dreamt of such sterile hands You keep 'em folded in your lap And raise them up to beg for scraps You know he's holding you down with the tips of his fingers, just the same Will you be pulled from the ocean But just a minute too late Or changed by a potion And find a handsome young mate for you to love You'll be damned to pining through the windowpanes You know you'd trade your life for any ordinary Joe Well, do it now or grow old Your nightmares only need a year or two to unfold Been alone since you were 21 You haven't laughed since January You try and make like this so much fun But we know it to be quite contrary La-la-la-la-la-la-la Dare to be one of us, girl Faced with the androids conundrum I felt like I should just cry But nothing happens every time I take one on the chin You're Himmler in your coat, you don't know how long I have been Watching the lantern dim Starved of oxygen So give me your hand, and let's jump out the window La-la-la-la-la (La-la-la-la) La-la-la-la-la (La-la-la-la) La-la-la-la-la (La-la-la-la) La-la-la-la-la

Three, four As someone sets light to the first fire of autumn We settle down to cut ourselves apart Cough and twitch from the news on your face And some foreign candle burning in your eyes Held to the past, too aware of the pending Chill as the dawn breaks and finds us up for sale Enter the fog, another low road descending Away from the cold lust, your house and summertime Blind to the last curse of the fair, pistols and countless eyes A trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running Feed 'til the sun turns into wood, dousing an ancient torch Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting love Your name on my cast and my notes on your stay Offer me little but doting on a crime We've turned every stone and for all our inventions In matters of love loss, we've no recourse at all Blind to the last curse of the fair, pistols and countless eyes A trail of white blood betrays the reckless route your craft is running Feed 'til the sun turns into wood, dousing an ancient torch Loiter the whole day through and lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting Lose yourself in lines dissecting love

Well, this is just a simple song To say what you done I told you 'bout all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean being warmed by the Sun When I was just nine years old I swear that I dreamt Your face on a football field And a kiss that I kept Under my vest Apart from everything with the heart in my chest I know that things can really get rough When you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough To bleed like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical As this little hole? My life in an upturned boat Marooned on a cliff You brought me a great big flood And you gave me a lift Girl, what a gift You tell me with your tongue and your breath was in my lungs And we float up through the rift I know that things can really get rough When you go it alone Don't go thinking you gotta be tough To bleed like a stone Could be there's nothing else in our lives so critical As this little hole? Well, this'll be a simple song To say what you done I told you about all those fears And away they did run You sure must be strong And you feel like an ocean being warmed by the Sun Remember walking a mile to your house A glow in the dark? I made a fumbling play for your heart And the act's dropped a spark You wore a charm on the chain That I stole especial for you Love's such a delicate thing that we do With nothing to prove Which I never knew

The dust from a four day affair is now landing All over the floor and your brown legs The gold-plated legs of my rival Whose eyes had no reason to fall You led no celibate life No skirt while chemicals danced in your head You stole the keys to this ride And your fables are falling tonight Because of your struggle to make them Their taste for your pastime is fading Remember the girls in the middle Are always the first to fall off You've learned to live like a mouse Searching the cracks in the walls to remember All of the dregs in the crowd You barely recall You led no celibate life No skirt while chemicals danced in your head You stole the keys to this ride And your fables are falling tonight
