lyrics
Please take the edge off & send an indexical print
Over the airwaves in a sepia tint
Maybe I'll fall asleep while watching TV
I could use the words but it's hit-or-miss if we get touchy
Just a drone to the hive but for a piece of the queen
I guess you're pleased
With the sleep-talk disease
And indifference to the matter
But I can make it happen faster
What happened to the good ol' days of calling every shot?
I dig your moxie but your interest is as real as a prop
All of the synapses & relapses are set to repeat
Can anyone make it stop?
Then back to business as unusual is usually best
Waiting for paintings to cure that were inspired by stress
You're kind of quiet You're really clean
Love in a riot at the hint of a need
It's pretty constant, the wheel's already turning
The ballroom is packed
Yeah we're bringing the guillotine back
I shouldn't spell it out for her
But I know we go well together
Go like thieves together
Run like thieves together
Go like thieves together
