lyrics

I wanna know this town
like I knew my friends
iron our own golden sons
so they can just get bent

close my eyes
to say I’m not listening
I want better space and time
pick the petals
and you wonder if
you'll ever have something
better in your eyes

some matadors pull their own pork
I’m proud to be a pan for their sauce
put off the motions til new rotations lose stock
and I’d really like to talk to your boss

want him to mop up mars
And put it on the map
the needle spins revolution
and I climb
and I... and then we come right back

I wanna know this town
like I know your friends
iron a golden rule
until it gets bent
I need another one here or there,
you know, screw it, I don’t care

I’d only waste the space and time

cuz gravity can’t help its residents
if they can barely help themselves
a few states short of a shoreline
eyes burnout at the thought of the view

gravity can’t help its residents
and I’ll crash before I ask for your help
this place stays as flat as you found it
it falls short of everything that’s fallen through
