Ten thousand horses, Sable Island in the summer Oh my God, I'm hot to steal, beside myself and friendless, number I ain't got no culture or nuttin' -- dirty words, but that don't count Flight attendants, waitresses, superstition -- good amount There's work to do, hell to pay, memories and fingerprints Calling, pop and ignorance And I don't wanna know, sick and tired Zoom, kick, persuasion, tech, zoom, kick, persuasion, tech It's an egg and spoon race slow and steady, desert highway, a bientôt Still I'm stuck, I cant afford it, picture, postcard, small memento Echo, shadow, echo, shadow, sterling silver, burning furnace Frozen nowhere, just a kid, I had a friend named Deadly Earnest Cross my heart and hope to die, stick a needle in my arm Praise the heavens, call the cops, relax, there's no cause for alarm Diamond rings and little babies, startlements and miracles I remember pretty faces so severe and lyrical I'm talking Amelia Earhart, Neko Case, and Frida Kahlo All alone, the way it should be, I don't even need a shadow Seeds of wisdom, found no purchase, we don't even have a chance Birthday party, Armageddon, long-stemmed roses, avalanche Broken fingers, goin' nowhere, fast and screeching to a halt All that work for nuttin', oh whippin' boy, it's all my fault Zoom, kick, persuasion, tech, zoom, kick, persuasion, tech Zoom, kick, persuasion, tech, tech, tech, tech I don't wanna go to pieces, easy going, afraid to fly and so I'm running Catchin' fish and chopping wood, the revolution, slow-time-coming I don't know what else to do, cross my fingers, teach the children Read your fortunes, storm the studios, come on all ye faithful pilgrims No more same old song and dance, some good ideas get overplayed I eat my breakfast, ride my bike, a knife between my shoulder blades See I'm a man of many problems up against some scary odds We kill, we hide, we all fall down, idiots love to bury gods It doesn't happen overnight, though never, still I'm filled with wonder Lonely like a tightrope walker, hitchhiker, long-distance runner Zoom, kick, persuasion, tech, good night for you bad night for me But I still love you lying down, K-I-S-S-I-N-G Not bad, not bad, not bad at all I tried your shoes on Cigarettes and crucifixes, Ingmar Bergman, Alphonse Mouzon Really boring modern music, really boring modern girl Get me out of here, I'm drowning, I don't like this modern world Anti-intellect, bad marketing, pretty-pretty, who needs talent Crying eyes, we're so outnumbered, fight for the right to remain silent What do I know, who am I, my two left feet, my big dumb face I'd do the same if I had the chance, cheat the system, rig the race It's all one big misunderstanding, inside out I turn my coat Don't look back don't move a muscle, one false move, that's all she wrote Zoom, kick, persuasion, tech, zoom, kick, persuasion, tech Zoom, kick, persuasion, tech, tech, tech, tech |
