VERSE TWO (SAME AS FIRST VERSE)
CHORUS TWO (SAME AS FIRST CHORUS BUT END ON 10 INSTEAD OF 5)
OUTRO (SAME AS INTRO - BOTH GUITARS)
What a beautiful way to fake it
This sort of graceful defeat
We found a pattern out on the pavement
Sound the siren out through the streets
Advance in perfect nonchalance
Do it together with a rifle report
Dont marvel at our confidence
Its troubled, bottled, and above-all deformed
Tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
Its just another drug
But it's all we've got...
What a way to keep it together
A black box, a prescription for speed
We found a freeway that goes on forever
Drown the demon in the deep black sea
Shield your eyes
It keeps burning to the rhythm of the rifle repeating
Paralyzed
But I gotta keep movin' if I wanna keep breathing
Tell me that you wanna stop the war
But baby you can't dance if there's no floor
Motion isn't meaning
Its just another drug
But it's all we've got...we've got nowhere to go
I'll take the life on the easy ship
We have our guns for the moment
Ill take the life on the easy ship
We have our guns!
