Lyrics
It’s the thrill you leave behind you,
it’s the condensation on the glass.
It’s the will that bakes and binds you,
in your all important solitude.
And I’ll push it til it runs me through,
I will say it til my lips are blue,
“I want to, I want to.”
This is the way that it’s playing out most of the time,
because my heart it shutters closed when I’m nearing the hole,
and my wheels fall out of their settled align,
and the transmission it slips like an over-oiled grip,
as my shifting shape it spits like a snake.
But I know you,
I hope you never do.
Imperfect, our perfect time spent,
til I, I turn it perverted.
“Baby, you’re the one.”
Thunderclap,
the rollercoaster is bounding back and roaring closer.
Idle while 100 furies swarm to warn the both of us.
Widening our eyes to worries storming toward the both of us,
but I swat them away,
and lie while I await the rollercoaster,
and lie while it’s roaring closer,
all I can muster is,
“Baby, you’re the one.”
